ruport-util : The Ruport Utilities Package
Remember back in the good old days when the Ruport gem was full of pretty much anything vaguely reporting related that people could dig up?
Well, those days have passed, but for the nostalgic, we've offshored many of these specialized or fringe features into the ruport-util package.
On a serious note, this package will eventually become the defacto-standard toolbelt for working with Ruport, and currently includes the following features:
- Basic Graphing (util/graph)
- Report runner (util/report)
- Report Mailing (util/mailer)
- Report Manager (util/report_manager)
- Invoices (util/invoice)
- PDF form helpers (util/pdf/form)
- ODS formatter for tables (util/ods)
- Benchmarking Tool (util/bench)
- Ruport centric code generation via the rope command.
- csv to OpenDocument conversion via csv2ods
For the time being, you shouldn't consider this package to be stable, but many of the tools listed above are quite usable. We'll be sure to keep updated with the latest stable version of Ruport, so feel free to use this package if you'd like to extend the capabilities of your Ruport apps.
