Module: Fields

Defined in:

lib/fields.rb

Overview

If you add new Field subclasses, you need to name them with a capitalized 'Field' at the end, eg CrazyField, and use it in Binstruct by declaring the first half in lower case. Like this: module Fields class CrazyField < StringField

# I act just like a StringField, only crunchy!
end

end

class MyStruct < Binstruct crazy :field_name, 32, "A Crazy Field!" [...]

Take a look at the documentation for Fields::Field for some other guidlines on creating new Field subclasses that can't trivially inherit one of the base classes like Fields::StringField or Fields::HexstringField.
