Creating my CLI Data Gem project - Why did you decide to learn Software Engineering

My first step is to look for an API (Application Programming Interface) installed HTTparty gem to get my data.

install httparty on your terminal .
install pry.(binding.pry)
after istalling you need to require both gem.
assign url = your API

     require “httparty” 
     require “pry"


     url = "https://www.themealdb.com/api/json/v1/1/search.php?s”
     response = HTTParty.get(url)
     meals_array = response["meals"] 
 

This line of code is where I set the response to a variable = meals_array
iterate with #each.
setting a binding.pry to get the data in the terminal.

 meals_array.each do |meal_hash| 
      #binding.pry 
    end 
		

Now its time to install a gem bundler.

in my terminal:
$ bundle gem meals meals (meals is the name of my model class)
This command creates a scaffold directory for my new gems.

bin directory:

run file or my executable file: where my shebang line is located #!/usr/bin/env ruby (explicitly telling to execute Ruby) require_relative “../lib/environment”

lib directory:        > environment file. Where I require all my dependencies and classes. 
  this is the connection for my bin directory via run file and lib directory via environment file.

require_relative "./meals/version" 

require "pry" 
require "httparty"

require_relative "./api.rb" 
require_relative "./the_meals.rb"
require_relative "./cli.rb"

and I created three Classes.

Cli.rb or Cli class my main point of communication with my user
Api.rb or Api class where I consume the api or get my data url=”https://www.themealdb.com/api/json/v1/1/search.php?s
Meals.rb => this is the model Class
