Overview

Variables are elements of a selector tree that haven’t been assigned values yet. When a tree that includes Variable objects is serialised, it must be passed a symbol table so that the variables may be given values.

Constructor Details

#initialize(name_or_hash, constructor = nil) ⇒ Variable

When Variable objects are initialised they may be given either a simple symbol, or a compound object (such as a hash) which contains symbols. When a compound object is given, a constructor must also be given.

varbg = Variable.new({:image => :button, :color => :bright})
varbg.to_s({:button => "button.png", :bright => "0f0"})

Which would give the following:

background-image:url('button.png'); background-color:#0f0;

Constructors can also be given for simple values, e.g. when creating a Color.

varc = Variable.new(:bright, Color)
varc.to_s({:bright => "f00"}) # => "#f00"

Instance Method Details

#to_s(symbols) ⇒ Object

The symbol table is given as an argument to the root element of a selector tree when it is serialised, and passed down to each node as the tree is traversed. Nodes must then serialise themselves, and if they contain Variables they must pass them the symbol table so that they can be resolved to a given value.
