Build dynamic paths from a template.

Pathology

Specify a template to be used for generating paths by replacing :tokens with values from a hash. This can be handy if you want to generate dynamic filenames or URLs using runtime data and a configurable format.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pathology'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pathology

Usage

template = Pathology.template("~/notes/:date/:topic.txt")

filename = template.interpolate({
  :date => Date.today,
  :topic => 'hello'
}) # => "~/notes/2014-05-24/hello.txt"
