EnumerableObserver

Observe changes in enumerable objects in ruby and run callbacks when items are added or removed.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'enumerable_observer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install enumerable_observer

Usage

Use as a module

class MyClass
    include EnumerableObserver

    def initialize
        @my_array = []
        observer = observe(@my_array)

        observer.added do |items|
            puts "items added: #{items}" 
        end

        observer.removed do |items
            puts "items removed: #{items}"
        end
    end
end

...or directly

class MyClass    
    def initialize
        @my_array = []
        observer = EnumerableObserver.observe(@my_array)

        observer.added do |items|
            puts "items added: #{items}" 
        end

        observer.removed do |items
            puts "items removed: #{items}"
        end
    end
end

...or by extending, and in one line.

@my_array.extend(EnumerableObserver).observe.added { |items| puts "items added: #{items}" }.removed { |items| puts "items removed: #{items}" }
