Defined in:

Overview

Base class for ClassInfo objects, from which you need to derive a subclass in each module where you want to use ClassInfo. An instance of a ClassInfo::Base subclass is created every time an acts_as_ method is called, and that instance can be accessed through the my_module_name_class_info method on the class which called acts_as_my_module_name.

Constructor Details

#initialize(model_class, previous_info, args) ⇒ Base

Initialises a ClassInfo::Base instance and parses arguments. If subclasses override initialize they should call super.

model_class

The class on which the acts_as method was called

previous_info

The ClassInfo::Base instance created by the last acts_as_ method call on the same class (or its superclass); nil if this is the first call.

args

Array of arguments given to the acts_as_ method when it was invoked.

If the last element of args is a hash, it is used as an options array. All other elements of args are concatenated into an array, uniqed and flattened. (They could be a list of symbols representing method names, for example.)

Instance Method Details

#get(object, method_name) ⇒ Object

Returns the value returned by calling method_name (renamed through options using method) on object. Returns nil if object is nil or object does not respond to that method.

# File 'lib/invoicing/class_info.rb', line 175

def get(object, method_name)
  meth = method(method_name)
  (object.nil? || !object.respond_to?(meth)) ? nil : object.send(meth)
end

#method(name) ⇒ Object

If there is an option with the given key, returns the associated value; otherwise returns the key. This is useful for mapping method names to their renamed equivalents through options.

# File 'lib/invoicing/class_info.rb', line 168

def method(name)
  name = name.to_sym
  (all_options[name] || name).to_s
end

#option_defaults ⇒ Object

Override this method to return a hash of default option values.

# File 'lib/invoicing/class_info.rb', line 162

def option_defaults
  {}
end

#set(object, method_name, new_value) ⇒ Object

Assigns new_value to method_name= (renamed through options using method) on object. method_name should not include the equals sign.

  object.send("#{method(method_name)}=", new_value) unless object.nil?
