Module: Mobility::Backend

Includes:
Enumerable
Included in:
Mobility::Backends::Null
Defined in:
lib/mobility/backend.rb,
lib/mobility/backend/orm_delegator.rb

Overview

Defines a minimum set of shared components included in any backend. These are:

  • a reader returning the model on which the backend is defined (#model)

  • a reader returning the attribute for which the backend is defined (#attribute)

  • a constructor setting these two elements (model, attribute), and extracting fallbacks from the options hash (#initialize)

  • a setup method adding any configuration code to the model class (Setup#setup)

On top of this, a backend will normally:

  • implement a read instance method to read from the backend

  • implement a write instance method to write to the backend

  • implement an each_locale instance method to iterate through available locales (used to define other Enumerable traversal and search methods)

  • implement a configure class method to apply any normalization to the options hash

  • call the setup method yielding attributes and options to configure the model class

Examples:

Defining a Backend

class MyBackend
  include Mobility::Backend

  def read(locale, options = {})
    # ...
  end

  def write(locale, value, options = {})
    # ...
  end

  def each_locale
    # ...
  end

  def self.configure(options)
    # ...
  end

  setup do |attributes, options|
    # Do something with attributes and options in context of model class.
  end
end
