# Insouciant
Now I recognize that sound computer science practices dictate that all code
should always strive to handle, on some level, all exceptions that may come up.
The reality is there are cases when you may not be aware, let alone in control
of all the possible sources of errors. Sometimes, it would be nice to have
your troublesome code run, and NOT bring the house down because some host is
unreachable or some other error beyond your control.
The [insouciant](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/insouciant) gem allows for
just such a use case.
The single method in this gem, Object::insouciant allows code to be run in a
simple and care free manner.
Now for some back story. In 2014, I had the wonderful experience of visiting
Germany for a cruise on the Elbe river. One of the stops was the
[Sanssouci](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanssouci) palace in Potsdam near
Berlin. The palace was the refuge of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia.
A safe place without the worries, stress or concerns of that troubled man.
In English this is translated as "insouciant" and is the inspiration for this gem.
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'insouciant'
```
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install insouciant
## Usage
To use this gem simply:
```ruby
require 'insouciant'
```
Then, wherever dodgy code may lurk, render it worry free. For example:
```ruby
insouciant {latest_version_for("mysh").to_s}
```
If an error should occur, the error string of the exception will be returned.
You may also choose to specify an alternate return value:
```ruby
insouciant("") {latest_version_for("mysh").to_s}
```
And that is it. Compact, easy-to-use, easy-to-deal-with, and above all, trouble
and worry free!
