Constructor Details

#initialize(options = {}) ⇒ String

Returns a new instance of String.

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (options):

  • :length_from (Int, Proc) —

    object or proc from which takes length when reading

  • :static_length (Integer) —

    set a static length for this string

  • :value (::String) —

    string value (default to ”)
