A collection of Ruby core extensions and class utilities for the Hanami web framework.
Hanami Utils is a Ruby gem that provides a collection of core extensions and class utilities specifically designed for the Hanami web framework. It enhances Ruby's standard library with additional functionality like blank checking, callbacks, class loading, file utilities, and type coercions. The library follows a modular approach where users only load the components they need.
Ruby developers using the Hanami web framework who need enhanced utilities for common tasks like file manipulation, type coercion, and class management. It's particularly useful for Hanami application developers looking to extend Ruby's core functionality.
Developers choose Hanami Utils because it provides framework-specific utilities that integrate seamlessly with Hanami while maintaining a lightweight, modular design. Its opt-in loading approach prevents bloat and offers specialized tools not found in Ruby's standard library.

The gem loads no code by default, requiring explicit requires for each utility, which prevents bloat and improves performance. This is emphasized in the README: 'By default this gem doesn't load any code, you must require what you need.'
Provides utilities like Hanami::Utils::Class for loading classes with namespace support, tailored for Hanami's architecture, enhancing framework integration. Evidence from the README features list shows specialized tools like class attributes and callbacks.
Includes a JSON engine with swappable backends, defaulting to Ruby's JSON and optionally using multi_json, offering flexibility without heavy dependencies. The README notes this allows for easy backend swapping.
Designed specifically for Hanami, it has limited utility outside this ecosystem, potentially creating vendor lock-in if used extensively in codebases that might migrate away from Hanami.
The README only lists features with links to API docs, lacking code snippets or real-world use cases, which can slow down learning and adoption for developers new to the library.
Utilities like blank checking and hash transformations overlap with popular gems like ActiveSupport, which may lead to redundancy or conflicts in projects that already use such libraries.
