LimitedLoop

Avoid infinite loops

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'limited_loop'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install limited_loop

Usage

Use LimitedLoop.loop instead of Kernel.loop.

When the block is executed over 100 times, an exception LimitedLoop::LimitExceeded is raised.

LimitedLoop.loop do
  # your code
end

You can change the number of executable times:

LimitedLoop.loop(50) do
  # your code
end

Development

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.

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.
