[Ruby] Add strings

[geekygirlsarah]

Description

Strings for Ruby aren't presently on Code Thesaurus. This issue is to add that concept to the system.

Directions

• On the home page, on the right side (the reference sheet side), choose the language and version, and then the concept.
• The page says the data doesn't exist, but clicking the arrow for the template will provide the template and file for you to use.
• Save that file in /web/thesauruses/[language]/[version]/[concept].json.
• Fill out all of the "code" sections.
• Add in "not-implemented": "true" if the concept doesn't exist in the language. You can then delete the "code" line.
• Add in "comment": if you wish to explain something in the code
• Delete the "name": fields before your PR
• Save, commit your code, push to your fork, then make a PR.
• Watch the checks to make sure they all pass. If they don't, click on "Details" and it should tell you what to modify.

Hi, @geekygirlsarah
I would like to contribute to Code Thesaurus
Could you please assign this to me?

[geekygirlsarah]

I'll give you this one too! Let me know if you have any questions!

[geekygirlsarah]

Hey @opeco17, how is this coming along? I haven't seen any updates and it's been over 3 weeks now. If you still want the issue, let me know otherwise I'll probably unassign you. And if you have any questions, let me know too!

[geekygirlsarah]

Haven't heard back so I'm removing them. (If you still want it, let me know and I'll add you back.)

Hello, I would like to contribute to solving this issue.
I am an enthusiastic Ruby developer and would like to try it very much.
This project is very awesome and I like the website a lot.
I have read the Documentation and especially I read carefully the "Contributing" section but if you have any other tips I am interested in having a look before trying it.

Best regards,
André

I also have a suggestion, in case you haven't considered it.
Perhaps, the JSON should have another section to add the references. I love references, to confirm the information, or if someone wants to dig deeper about a certain subject...
Cheers :)

[geekygirlsarah]

Hey @pulgamecanica, I'll assign you then! And yeah, let me know if you have any questions.

And I suppose great minds think alike, there's #188 for the references.

[pulgamecanica]

Thank's I'll give my best and I will try to be consistent :D

[pulgamecanica]

Hello!

Today I will be working on the JSON, yesterday I was able to run the docker-compose without many issues, I worked with Django before and I was happy to see it again, so without further ado, I will do my best and I will use "The Well Grounded Rubyist" 📖 as a reference to get all the ideas straight and without much complications for any reader! :D ✏️

[pulgamecanica]

I'm ready to goooo, eager to finish. Again, thanks a lot for letting me contribute, this is so cool!

[geekygirlsarah]

I'm glad you're so excited @pulgamecanica ! I hope you have some fun with it, maybe learn some new things along the way. Again, let me know if you have any questions!

[pulgamecanica]

I have finished, I will perform now a PR :D

I also found one little tiny typo which I would love to fix :D not sure if I should create an issue for it though...
The typo is here:
https://codethesaur.us/reference/?concept=strings&lang=java%3B17
It's because they forgot to escape the backslash so it actually created a new line instead of showing the new line character.

Good catch! You can sneak it into #555 if you want or you can make a new PR. (no issue needed)

[pulgamecanica]

Overall it was very nice to do it, but I couldn't find a proper answer for the second question, so I entered "no need?" because I really didn't know what to put.

So if you know what I could put there to make it understandable for the readers, I would appreciate it. The string is built.in class which comes along all the Modules for Ruby so it is included by default, I don't know how to explain this very well.

[pulgamecanica]

I closed the PR because I didn't want the "No need?" to go there haha I forgot about it... only now I realized

[geekygirlsarah]

Oh you don't have to close and open a new one. Just push new changes. Github updates it automatically.

[pulgamecanica]

I will sneak that fix for the Java lang on the PR 😄
Well then, I'll do that.

[geekygirlsarah]

Want me to reopen #555 then? You can edit the text of the PR too if something changes.

[pulgamecanica]

I would appreciate that, thank you.

[pulgamecanica]

Ohhh wow.... that's so nice, it really did it automatically.... now it shows the 4 files changed on the PR.
That's so cool.

[pulgamecanica]

Now it says: "Built-in included in the default Modules" instead of "No need? ✅

[pulgamecanica]

Srry for not updating this, I'll see how I can finish this soon!

Wrong issue... I meant it for the Ruby operators...
Cheers.

[geekygirlsarah]

That's alright! (You can always delete comments too)

[pulgamecanica]

I don't like much to delete comments because you might recieve an email about someone saying something and then you can never find it hahaha

[geekygirlsarah]

Alright, that's fair too!
