 # SmokeMonster
 
-TODO: Write a gem description
+### Arrays to Objects
 
-## Installation
+This feature exists to make the creation of sets of objects with data easily.
 
-Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+* Create an array of symbols of symbols that match the properties on the objects you want, and
+* Pass a block that returns an array of arrays with matching data. 
 
-    gem 'smoke_monster'
+````ruby
+records = [:first_name, :last_name].to_objects { 
+  [
+    ["John", "Galt"], 
+    ["Howard", "Roark"]
+    ["Dagny", "Taggart"]
+  ]}
 
-And then execute:
+records[0].first_name  # "John"
+records[0].last_name   # "Galt"
 
-    $ bundle
+records[1].first_name  # "Howard"
+records[1].last_name   # "Roark"
 
-Or install it yourself as:
+records[2].first_name  # "Dagny"
+records[2].last_name   # "Taggart"
+````
 
-    $ gem install smoke_monster
+### Safety Proc
 
-## Usage
+This feature was written because I hate wrapping code in begin/rescue/end blocks.  If I have a line of code and I don't particularly care if it fails, I have to wrap it in three more lines of care to stop exceptions.
 
-TODO: Write usage instructions here
+To me, this is most useful in imports or other code where I might want to check to run a small block of code that 
 
-## Contributing
+````ruby
+person.name = document.at_xpath('./h1').text
+
+# if this call fails then we will move on
+-> { person.bio = document.xpath('./div[@class="bio_info"]//span') }.call_safely
+
+# if this call fails then the second block will be called
+-> { person.special = document.xpath('./div[@class="active"]//a')[1].text == "special" }.call_safely { person.special = false }
+````
+
+### Param Constructor
+
+One thing I liked about C# was the ability to instantiate my objects like this:
+
+````c#
+var person = new Person() { FirstName = "John", LastName = "Galt" };
+````
+
+This syntax is not built into Ruby syntax today, but it does exist in Rails models.  So I took that idea from Rails and wrote an implementation that works like this:
+
+````ruby
+class Person
+  params_constructor
+  attr_accessor :first_name, :last_name
+end
+
+person = Person.new { first_name: "John", last_name: "Galt" }
+````
