# LibEagle [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/badge.png)](https://codeclimate.com/github/gcds/libeagle)

LibEagle is a library for __[Cadsoft Eagle PCB Design Software](http://www.cadsoftusa.com/eagle-pcb-design-software/product-overview/?language=en)__. Eagle uses xml based files. This library implements Eagle xml files and converts it to Objects and reverse.

## Requirements:
* Nokogiri
* HTMLEntities
* [Eagle PCB Design Software](http://www.cadsoftusa.com/eagle-pcb-design-software/product-overview/?language=en) __> 6.0 (only)__

## Installation:

### Bundler:

    gem 'libeagle'    

### Rubygems:

    $ gem install libeagle

## Usage:

The usage is really simple first you include gem in your file:

    require "libeagle"
    
### Parsing:

Parsing eagle files (schematic, board or library) or block of eagle elements (packages, devices, symbols and etc.) you have two options parse from file or string:

    eagle = LibEagle::Parser.parseFile(file_name)
     => #<LibEagle::Eagle:0x007fd5ca956738>
     
or string:

    eagle = LibEagle::Parser.parseXML("…")
     => #<LibEagle::Eagle:0x007fd5ca956738>
     

### Hand Crafting:

To Create eagle files with hands or dynamically. Just use as simple objects:

    eagle = LibEagle::Eagle.new
    # Create a drawing object
    eagle.object_drawing = LibEagle::Drawing.new
    
#### Setting attributes
    
    eagle.attribute_version = "6.0"
    
#### Setting object

    eagle.object_drawing = LibEagle::Drawing.new
    
### XML Saving:

After creating, parsing, editing if you want to save file use `.saveXML` will generate xml code of that object:

    
    eagle = LibEagle::Eagle.new
    eagle.attribute_version = "6.0"
    eagle.saveXML
     => "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE eagle SYSTEM \"eagle.dtd\">\n<eagle version=\"6.0\">\n</eagle>\n"


## Todo:
1. Create API DOcs
2. Optimize source code
