help using facets?

[a non y mouse]

i just discovered facets and would like to begin using them, but am
having issues:

require 'facets' works, but i am unable to use anything suggested in the
rdoc or the little stuff i've found online.

based on
<http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/163215>, i
should be able to do

Time.use Facets, :stamp

or

Array.use Facets, :each_permutation

but both give errors:

tinker% !.
/facets.rb
/facets.rb:5: uninitialized constant Facets (NameError)
from ./facets.rb:3
tinker% cat facets.rb
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby

require 'facets'

Time.use Facets, :stamp
tinker%

i do have the gems installed:

tinker% gem list | grep facets
facets (1.0.2)
facets_core (1.0.2)
facets_more (1.0.2)

same thing if i try the Array line. sooo..what gives? i'd really like to
be able to use its Crypt module.

thanks

Couldn't reproduce this with whatever ruby there is in the Ubuntu=20
repositories, latest rubygems, and whatever "gem in -y facets" gets me.

The Facets module does indeed seem to exist, however, my hopes shatter righ=
t=20
after that. Time doesn't have a #use class method, in fact, there is no suc=
h=20
method in the API documentation.

The deprecated method in the documentation doesn't help any either.

How -do- you use this library then?

The website is also in slight need of spellchecking, I wonder if this would=
be=20
proper to report via the project bug tracker.

Be sure RUBYOPT="-rubygems" then

require 'facet/time/stamp'

i'd really like to be able to use its Crypt module.

require 'facet/crypt'

Gah. #stamp is an instance method? Ah well, I thought it was a class method=
=20
because it would look good in code that way. I should hint the Facets=20
developers towards that.

So the usage in the announcement from a few months ago didn't describe chan=
gs=20
that were released yet?

Is this what you want?

def Time.stamp(*args)
now.stamp(*args)
end

I will add to next version of Facets if so.

Yep, something like that. I have no idea how often people need textual=20
timestamps of the current date though, so it might not be a particularly=20
useful addition. It's just the first usage that came to mind when I saw=20
someone asking about that functionality.
