Iterating through a gist's :files

[jakelodwick]

Let me preface this by saying I'm a r00b and might be missing something obvious, and apologize for wasting your time if that's the case.

I'm building a stream of gists from people I follow, and want to show each gist on this site's homepage.

When I run this...

octokit.gists.first.files

I get what looks like a hash of hashes:

{:"1-before.rb"=>
  {:filename=>"1-before.rb",
   :type=>"application/x-ruby",
   :language=>"Ruby",
   :raw_url=>
    "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jakelodwick/7be5ac854ec9b0ed6494/raw/7de9d3539485db2859167b8f16bdefcdf60df3b2/1-before.rb",
   :size=>915},
 :"2-after.rb"=>
  {:filename=>"2-after.rb",
   :type=>"application/x-ruby",
   :language=>"Ruby",
   :raw_url=>
    "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jakelodwick/7be5ac854ec9b0ed6494/raw/997e2f0efa1d0ce1e2269151f87bd471bee17448/2-after.rb",
   :size=>1587}}

I'd expect to be able to do something like this:

octokit.gists.first.files.each {|file| puts file}

...but the response is nil. I'm guessing this is because

>> octokit.gists.first.files.class #=> Sawyer::Resource

...instead of a hash.

Now, appending to_h to files allows me to iterate as expected, but it seems like an inelegant solution, creating a dependency on knowledge of Sawyer. What do you think? What's the right way to do this?

Good point, I've opened lostisland/sawyer#33 which adds this directly to Sawyer's Resource object.

Awesome, thanks!
