This is a simple Ruby gem that wraps the Rust Crate called floating_duration.

The primary purpose of this gem is as a minimal example of how to wrap a native library in a ruby gem.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add rs_floating_duration

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install rs_floating_duration

Here's an example irb session illustrating how to use this gem:

irb(main):001> require "rs_floating_duration"
=> true
irb(main):002> RsFloatingDuration.time_format(0.5)
=> "500.000ms"
irb(main):003> RsFloatingDuration.time_format_long(0.5)
=> "500.000 milliseconds"

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

You will need rust installed to compile the extension.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
