FindMyMac, and its helper class, Scraper, reaches out to Apple's refurbished computer site to compile a searchable list of available computers. Scraper initiates the process by scraping the Apple site and returning a hash array of computers. FindMyMac then loads up the corresponding @iMac, @iMacPro, @MacBookAir, etc., objects, queries the user about which configuration the user would like to search, and returns a list of available computers matching that configuration. The user may then select from the list to see additional information, including a link directly back to the details page for the selected computer.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'findMyMac'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install findMyMac
There are two ways to use this gem:
-
Create a hash of available refurbished computers from the Mac site.
hash = Scraper::scrape_refurbished_mac -
Instantiate a finder object:
finder = FindMyMac::Finder.new -
Once finder has been instantiated, the entry point to running the search is:
finder.findMacs
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.
