# Openalias # OpenAlias ruby
Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file `lib/openalias`. To experiment with that code, run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt. This ruby gem allows you to lookup and read [OpenAlias](https://openalias.org) data with ruby.
TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem OpenAlias ([openalias.org](https://openalias.org)) is an open standard for simpler addresses for any crypto currencies. [Read more here](https://openalias.org)
At its most basic, OpenAlias is a TXT DNS record on a FQDN (fully qualified domain name).
By combining this with DNS-related technologies [it has] created an aliasing standard that is extensible for developers,
intuitive and familiar for users, and can interoperate with both centralised and decentralised domain systems.
It is using the [OpenAlias rust implementation](https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/openalias.rs/) - and is simply a ruby wrapper with a native rust extension.
Maybe this is a bad idea, but I had a few minutes and wanted to try it. It works perfectly (but gem install takes a while to compile the extension)
At some point it would probably be awesome to rewrite the whole thing in pure ruby - which is likely very easy.

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment. Openalias.addresses('donate.getmonero.org')[0].recipient_name
=> "Monero Development"
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 tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org). ```
