Pizza! Sodapop! courtesy of Captain Kurt, our prize for making all of our tests pass on 8/1/2013

Added pessimistic version numbers for all of the gems in gemspec

Find current version number with gem list -r <gemname>

Add latest version number excluding the last decimal number:
spec.add_runtime_dependency "<gemname>", "~>, x.x"

Continued working on adding Open Graph support

Switched from opengraph to opengraph_parser

opengraph's Nokogiri version dependency hasn't been updated in a while, so it breaks our code

opengraph_parser has bad version dependencies generally, but would still rather use that

Moved duplicated code from oneboxes to new Engine module

All oneboxes include Engine --> share methods

Onebox engines now only need to define their own extracted_data() function

Handlebars templates must follow name pattern

            def template_name
              self.class.name.split("::").last.downcase
            end

Created new function read() in Engine to open url

Will eventually use eithr Nokogiri or opengraph_parser depending on website

Refactored Engine spec

Cleaned up onebox specs, used let: to handle repetitive tasks

Created a few more merge conflicts while we were both editing gemspec

Cleaned them up ourselves like we learned on Tuesday

Dealt w/ a LOT of merge conflicts

We had pull requested a few onebox branches before we refactored

Qik

Wikipedia

StackExchange

Renamespaced oneboxes to Engine module instead of Preview class

Cleaned up local and remote branches in dysania/onebox

Started looking at VerbalExpressions

Learned about the difference between include and extend re: singleton class methods

For sites that support OpenGraph, we decided we'll be using the opengraph gem

markijbema asked about why we created Matcher object (issue #43)

He thought it made sense that we keep url matching code close to onebox conversion code since it would define which urls we support

We created Matcher object because Preview should only have to worry about onebox conversion and not how to find the correct onebox

Discussed our lightning talk for next week

Semantic versioning

Ruby's pessimistic operator

Our experience so far extracting feature as a gem (the meetup's theme is gems)

HOMEWORK:
- Add require opengraph in gemfile, commit in new branch for issue #44

created Matcher class

TDD

Engine module to be included by oneboxes

refactor preview, move url matching functionality to Matcher.oneboxed

JZ added new oneboxes

Qik

StackExchange

Captain Kurt helped add test for Qik video embedding and make spec DRYer

we don't know how to grab video embed code yet

still undecided on how to display videos in regards to autoplay

embed or linked thumbnail ?

learned about Null Object

learned how to autoclose issues with a commit message!

git commit -m "Fixes #[issue number]"

unable to merge wikipedia-onebox branch due to conflicts with master

learned how to deal with conflicts

git pull --rebase origin master

fix conflicts

git add .

git rebase --continue

git push -f origin wikipedia-onebox
