Overview

The module allows declaring assertions (assertions) about various objects, and apply (validate) them to concrete data.

Examples:

# config/locales/en.yml
# ---
# en:
#   assertion:
#     adult:
#       right: "%{name} is an adult (age %{age})"
#       wrong: "%{name} is a child (age %{age})"

Adult = Assertion.about :name, :age do
  age >= 18
end

joe = { name: 'Joe', age: 13 }
Adult[joe].validate!
# => #<Assertion::InvalidError @messages=["Joe is a child (age 13)"]>

jane = { name: 'Jane', age: 22 }
Adult.not[jane].validate!
# => #<Assertion::InvalidError @messages=["Jane is an adult (age 22)"]

Class Method Details

.about(*attributes, &block) ⇒ Class

Builds the subclass of Assertion::Base with predefined attributes and implementation of the #check method.

Examples:

IsMan = Assertion.about :age, :gender do
  (age >= 18) && (gender == :male)
end

# This is the same as:
class IsMan < Assertion::Base
  attribute :age, :gender

  def check
    (age >= 18) && (gender == :male)
  end
end

Parameters:

  • attributes (Symbol, Array<Symbol>) —

    The list of attributes for the new assertion

  • block (Proc) —

    The content for the check method

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    The specific assertion class

def self.about(*attributes, &block)
  klass = Class.new(Base)
  klass.public_send(:attribute, attributes)
  klass.__send__(:define_method, :check, &block) if block_given?

  klass
end

.guards(attribute = nil, &block) ⇒ Class

Builds the subclass of Assertion::Guard with given attribute (alias for the object) and implementation of the #state method.

Examples:

VoterOnly = Assertion.guards :user do
  IsAdult[user.attributes] & IsCitizen[user.attributes]
end

# This is the same as:
class VoterOnly < Assertion::Guard
  alias_method :user, :object

  def state
    IsAdult[user.attributes] & IsCitizen[user.attributes]
  end
end

Parameters:

  • attribute (Symbol) (defaults to: nil) —

    The alias for the object attribute

  • block (Proc) —

    The content for the state method

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    The specific guard class
