Radiator

Is a ruby gem written by Hive account@inertia its an API to talk to steemit blockchain via ruby.
We are going to further Easify this radiator Gem in here.. so that we can do something like this

Which should return us bilal-haider's 10 followers
like so

Create a Module which makes it easy to use Radiator gem :) <3

Creating a directory called Analyzer

cd to this directory and install radiator and paint gems

gem install radiator

and also install paint gem, for give our text colors in terminal

gem install paint

You will see that, after creating an EasySteem module, how easily we can talk to steem blockchain

puts EasySteem.reblog_stream

will start a steam for us, where it will show us who is sharing whom posts at the moment :)
like so

Lets start by analyzing what operations steem blockchain provides us :p

• we can post
• we can vote
• we can transfer
• we can claim rewards
• we can flag
• we can comment
• we can watch streams :)

We don't have a lot of methods in this module, but we can extend it in upcoming articles. This way we can create an Easy Api to interact with steem blockchain

Our module so far has only 7 methods in it :p thanks to my laziness
You don't need to understand this code, if you don't want to.. you should be able to use it that's what matters :)

require 'radiator'
require 'json'
require 'paint'

module EasySteem
    def EasySteem.supply
        api = Radiator::Api.new
        api.get_dynamic_global_properties do |properties|
          properties.virtual_supply
        end
    end

    def EasySteem.followers(*options)
        api = Radiator::FollowApi.new
        if options[2] == nil
            _start = 0
        elsif 
            _start = options[2]
        end
        api.get_followers(options[0], _start, 'blog', options[1]) do |followers|
          followers.map(&:follower)
        end
    end

    def EasySteem.voting_stream
        stream = Radiator::Stream.new

        stream.operations(:vote) do |op|
          print "#{op.voter} voted for #{op.author}"
          puts " (weight: #{op.weight / 100.0}%)"
        end
    end

    def EasySteem.comment_stream
        stream = Radiator::Stream.new

        stream.operations(:comment) do |op|
            if op.parent_author != ""
                print "#{op.author} commented on #{op.parent_author}\'s Post. "
                puts "Permlink: #{op.parent_permlink}"
            elsif
                print "#{op.author} commented on a Post. \n"
                puts "Permlink: #{op.permlink}" 
            end
        end
    end
    def EasySteem.follow_stream
        stream = Radiator::Stream.new

        stream.operations(:custom_json) do |op|
            if op.id == "follow"
                _myhash = JSON.parse(op.json)
                if _myhash[0] == "follow"
                    _info = _myhash[1]
                    puts "#{Paint[_info['follower'], :red]} has followed #{Paint[_info['following'], :green]}"
                end
            end
        end
    end

    def EasySteem.reblog_stream
        stream = Radiator::Stream.new

        stream.operations(:custom_json) do |op|
            if op.id == "follow"
                _myhash = JSON.parse(op.json)
                # p _myhash
                if _myhash[0] == "reblog"
                    _info = _myhash[1]
                    puts "#{Paint[_info['account'], :green]} has shared #{Paint[_info['author'], :cyan]}\'s Post"
                end
            end
        end
    end

    def EasySteem.stream
        stream = Radiator::Stream.new
        stream.operations do |op|
            puts op
        end
    end
end

Once you have gems installed an you also have EasySteem module. you are ready to use it like so

require_relative 'easysteem'

puts EasySteem.supply

Which returns virtual Steem supply ..

get reblogs stream

require_relative 'easysteem'

puts EasySteem.reblog_stream

which outputs

Get followers of a person

require_relative 'easysteem'

## returns bilal-haider's 10 followers
puts EasySteem.followers "bilal-haider", 10

## returns bilal-haider's 10 followers starting from "a-0-a"
puts EasySteem.followers "bilal-haider", 10, "a-0-a"

Get virtual Steem Supply

require_relative 'easysteem'

puts EasySteem.supply

Get following stream.. see who is following whom at real time

require_relative 'easysteem'

puts EasySteem.follow_stream

require_relative 'easysteem'

puts EasySteem.follow_stream
puts EasySteem.supply
puts EasySteem.followers "bilal-haider", 100
puts EasySteem.stream
puts EasySteem.voting_stream
puts EasySteem.comment_stream
puts EasySteem.follow_stream
puts EasySteem.reblog_stream

These are few other Methods which you can call using EasySteem
I hope you liked it. ;)
