A fork of Seth Vargo's gem being maintained here now. Originally inspired by David Taylor's andrewid, CMU Person is a simple rubygem used for searching Carnegie Mellon's LDAP servers for student information.
If you want to use this gem for personal use in your terminal, just type the following command in bash:
gem install cmu_personIf you plan to use this in a Rails project (or other project managed by Bundler), add the following to your Gemfile:
gem 'cmu_person'Don't forget to run the bundle command to install the gem!
user = CMU::Person.find('svargo')
user.first_name #=> "Seth"
user.grade #=> "Junior"user = CMU::Person.new('i_dont_exist') #=> CMU::RecordNotFound ExceptionFor a complete list of methods, view the YARD Documentation
