Defined in:
lib/innate/options/dsl.rb

Overview

Provides a minimal DSL to describe options with defaults and metadata.

The example below should demonstrate the major features, note that key lookup wanders up the hierarchy until there is a match found or the parent of the Options class is itself, in which case nil will be returned.

Usage:

class Calculator
  @options = Options.new(:foo)
  def self.options; @options; end

  options.dsl do
    o "Which method to use", :method, :plus
    o "Default arguments", :args, [1, 2]
    sub(:minus){ o("Default arguments", :args, [4, 3]) }
  end

  def self.calculate(method = nil, *args)
    method ||= options[:method]
    args = args.empty? ? options[method, :args] : args
    self.send(method, *args)
  end

  def self.plus(n1, n2)
    n1 + n2
  end

  def self.minus(n1, n2)
    n1 - n2
  end
end

Calculator.calculate
# => 3
Calculator.options[:method] = :minus
# => :minus
Calculator.calculate
# => 1
Calculator.calculate(:plus, 4, 5)
# => 9

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

  when /^(.*)=$/
    self[$1] = args.first
  else
    self[meth]

#[](*keys) ⇒ Object

Retrieve only the :value from the value hash if found via keys.

# File 'lib/innate/options/dsl.rb', line 125

def [](*keys)
  if value = get(*keys)
    value.is_a?(Hash) ? value[:value] : value
  end
end

#[]=(key, value) ⇒ Object

Assign new :value to the value hash on the current instance.

TODO: allow arbitrary assignments

  ks = key.to_sym
  if @hash.has_key? ks
    ns = @hash[ks]
    ns[:value] = value
    ns[:trigger].call(value) if ns[:trigger].respond_to?(:call)
  elsif existing = get(key)
    option(existing[:doc].to_s.dup, key, value)
  else
    raise(ArgumentError, "No key for %p exists" % [key])
  end
end

#default(doc, value, other = {}) ⇒ Object

To avoid lookup on the parent, we can set a default to the internal Hash. Parameters as in #o, but without the key.

  end
end

#get(key, *keys) ⇒ Object

Try to retrieve the corresponding Hash for the passed keys, will try to retrieve the key from a parent if no match is found on the current instance. If multiple keys are passed it will try to find a matching child and pass the request on to it.

#option(doc, key, value, other = {}, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: o

Store an option in the Options instance.

Parameters:

  • doc (#to_s) —

    describing the purpose of this option

  • key (#to_sym) —

    used to access

  • value (Object) —

    may be anything

  • other (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    optional Hash containing meta-data :doc, :value keys will be ignored
