Module: Innate::Traited

Included in:
Helper::Aspect::SingletonMethods, Node
Defined in:
lib/innate/traited.rb

Overview

Traited helps you doing configuration similar to class variables.

It’s built on a simple Hash, where keys are objects and the values the configuration. By using #ancestral_trait you will get nicely inherited configuration, where keys later in the ancestors will take precedence.

Examples:

usage


class Foo
  include Innate::Traited
  trait :hello => 'Hello'

  def initialize
    trait :hello => 'World!'
  end

  def show
    [class_trait[:hello], trait[:hello], ancestral_trait[:hello]]
  end
end

Foo.trait[:hello] # => "Hello"
foo = Foo.new
foo.trait[:hello] # => "World!"
foo.show          # => ["Hello", "World!", "World!"]

#ancestral_trait ⇒ Object

Builds a trait from all the ancestors, closer ancestors overwrite distant ancestors

Examples:

class Foo
  include Innate::Traited
  trait :one => :eins, :first => :erstes
end

class Bar < Foo
  trait :two => :zwei
end

class Foobar < Bar
  trait :three => :drei, :first => :overwritten
end

Foobar.ancestral_trait # => {
  :three => :drei, :two => :zwei, :one => :eins, :first => :overwritten
}
