1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,442
[MUSIC]

2
00:00:04,442 --> 00:00:09,780
Now that we have most of our classes set
up, we can work on input and output.

3
00:00:09,780 --> 00:00:13,760
We're going to use a class from the Ruby
Standard Library to save things between

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,020
sessions.

5
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:17,310
This is a lot easier than you think.

6
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:20,150
Let's go ahead and
see how that works now, using WorkSpaces.

7
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:26,006
Okay, so we have our functionality
with our address book working so far.

8
00:00:26,006 --> 00:00:27,893
We can add contacts.

9
00:00:27,893 --> 00:00:31,670
We can add phone numbers and
addresses to our contacts.

10
00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:34,430
And then, we can go ahead and
search through it if we want to.

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,130
So now, we're going to make this
more of a command line application.

12
00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:44,490
So what that means is
we're going to have a menu

13
00:00:44,490 --> 00:00:49,160
allowing our user to select something and

14
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:54,510
then work with it in the command line,
rather than from inside of a Ruby file.

15
00:00:54,510 --> 00:00:59,410
Now the way that we're gonna do this
is create a method that loops through,

16
00:00:59,410 --> 00:01:03,790
displays a menu and
then will call each of these methods,

17
00:01:03,790 --> 00:01:07,180
depending on what the user enters.

18
00:01:07,180 --> 00:01:09,090
So lets go ahead and create that.

19
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:12,232
Now, before we do that, let's go ahead and
look at all this stuff down here.

20
00:01:12,232 --> 00:01:14,740
We're gonna just go ahead and
get it out of there.

21
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:20,880
So we have this address
book that we initialize.

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:29,300
And let's make a method called run
which will display our menu on a loop.

23
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:33,847
And that's all that we're gonna do to call

24
00:01:33,847 --> 00:01:38,660
this run method which
will display our menu.

25
00:01:38,660 --> 00:01:40,235
So now let's go ahead and write that.

26
00:01:40,235 --> 00:01:47,351
Here is our run method.

27
00:01:47,351 --> 00:01:51,420
Now we're gonna use a loop,
to display our menu.

28
00:01:52,690 --> 00:01:57,340
And we are going to need
a way to exit the loop.

29
00:01:57,340 --> 00:01:58,750
But, we'll write that in just a second.

30
00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:03,650
So for
right now let's just display address book.

31
00:02:03,650 --> 00:02:06,130
And let's go ahead and
give an option here.

32
00:02:06,130 --> 00:02:11,470
If somebody enters
the letter E they can exit.

33
00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:13,310
So we've got this little menu here.

34
00:02:13,310 --> 00:02:15,490
This is just the start of it.

35
00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:19,210
And then let's go ahead and
ask for their input.

36
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:23,580
We'll say, Enter your choice,

37
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,690
and then we will grab the input and
assign it to a variable.

38
00:02:30,690 --> 00:02:35,170
We'll use the getString method, which
we'll just grab it from standard input.

39
00:02:35,170 --> 00:02:38,070
And that will go in with a new line.

40
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:41,770
So we have to use the chomp
method to get just the character

41
00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:42,690
that we're interested in.

42
00:02:43,790 --> 00:02:47,920
And then let's go ahead and just make that
lower case so that when we search for

43
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:48,640
it we know what's going on.

44
00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:53,540
Okay, now we know we're gonna
add on to this later, so

45
00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:55,850
we're going to use a case
statement right now.

46
00:02:55,850 --> 00:03:00,950
Since all we have is one option,
we're just gonna have one single option

47
00:03:00,950 --> 00:03:06,650
in this case statement,
so when the user types

48
00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:12,830
the letter E,
we're gonna break out of this loop.

49
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,201
Now let's go ahead and
ruin this and see what happens.

50
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:25,325
Address book, okay, let's type
the letter e and make sure it exits.

51
00:03:25,325 --> 00:03:26,840
Uh-oh.

52
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,340
Undefined method input for address book.

53
00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:32,390
I forgot an equals sign.

54
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:34,480
Okay, let's clear the screen and
run that again.

55
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:38,340
Okay.
Exiting works just fine.

56
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:40,950
Let me clear the screen.

57
00:03:40,950 --> 00:03:43,260
We'll run this again.

58
00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:46,590
If I type a,
okay we just get this menu again.

59
00:03:46,590 --> 00:03:49,020
DE2, whatever.

60
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:49,590
Okay.
Good.

61
00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:53,210
Now we know that E exits.

62
00:03:53,210 --> 00:03:56,430
This is a good start for our menu so
we know that it's working.
