Overview

Provides mechanisms for easy instantiation of various Entity sub-types such as Resource or Link (and their sub-types). Unknown sub-types will result in generic ‘Occi::Core::Resource` and `Occi::Core::Link` instances. Known (pre-defined) sub-types will be provided as instances of unique classes inheriting from the abovementioned.

Constructor Details

#initialize(args = {}) ⇒ InstanceBuilder

Constructs and instance of the InstanceBuilder. It can be used to quickly and easily get get instances of various ‘Occi::Core::Entity` sub-types based on their kind identifier.

Parameters:

  • args (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    constructor arguments

Options Hash (args):

Instance Method Details

#build(identifier, args = {}) ⇒ Object, NilClass Also known as: get

Constructs an instance based on the given category identifier. This method can construct instances of Entity sub-types.

Examples:

build 'http://schemas.ogf.org/occi/core#resource'
  # => Occi::Core::Resource

Parameters:

  • identifier (String) —

    identifier of the category

  • args (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    hash for the instance constructor

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    constructed instance

  • (NilClass) —

    if such an instance could not be constructed

  logger.debug { "Building instance of #{identifier.inspect} with #{args.inspect}" }
  k_args = args_with_kind(identifier, args)
  klass(identifier, parent_klass(k_args[:kind])).new k_args
end

#build_link(identifier, args = {}) ⇒ Object, NilClass

Constructs an instance based on the given category identifier. This method can construct instances of Link sub-types.

Examples:

build_link 'http://schemas.ogf.org/occi/core#link' # => Occi::Core::Link

Parameters:

  • identifier (String) —

    identifier of the category

  • args (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    hash for the instance constructor

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    constructed instance

  • (NilClass) —

    if such an instance could not be constructed

  klass(identifier, Occi::Core::Link).new args_with_kind(identifier, args)
end

#build_resource(identifier, args = {}) ⇒ Object, NilClass

Constructs an instance based on the given category identifier. This method can construct instances of Resource sub-types.

Examples:

build_resource 'http://schemas.ogf.org/occi/core#resource' # => Occi::Core::Resource

Parameters:

  • identifier (String) —

    identifier of the category

  • args (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    hash for the instance constructor

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    constructed instance

  • (NilClass) —

    if such an instance could not be constructed

end

#kind_instance(identifier) ⇒ Occi::Core::Kind

Looks up the given identifier in the model. Returns ‘Occi::Core::Kind` instance if found and raises an error otherwise. Look-up results not related to `Occi::Core::Kind` will also raise an error.

Parameters:

  • identifier (String) —

    identifier of the category

def kind_instance(identifier)
  kind = model.find_by_identifier!(identifier)
  unless kind.is_a? Occi::Core::Kind
    raise Occi::Core::Errors::CategoryValidationError, "#{identifier.inspect} " \
          'is not a kind'
  end
  kind
end

#klass(identifier, known_ancestor) ⇒ Class

Looks up the appropriate candidate class for the given identifier. If no class is found in static tables, the last known ancestor is returned. For Core, this method ALWAYS returns the last known ancestor given as ‘known_ancestor`, for compatibility reasons.

Parameters:

  • identifier (String) —

    identifier of the category

  • known_ancestor (Class) —

    expected ancestor

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    pre-defined class or given last ancestor

          "#{found_klass} is not a sub-type of #{known_ancestor}"
  end

  logger.debug { "Found class #{found_klass} for #{identifier.inspect}" }
  found_klass
end

#parent_klass(kind) ⇒ Class

Locates the closes known parent class for instances of the given kind. This usually means ‘Occi::Core::Resource`, `Occi::Core::Link`, or error.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    located known parent class
