Module: Ollama::DTO

Overview

A module that provides a foundation for data transfer objects (DTOs) within the Ollama library.

The DTO module includes common functionality for converting objects to and from JSON, handling attribute management, and providing utility methods for processing arrays and hashes. It serves as a base class for various command and data structures used in communicating with the Ollama API.

Examples:

Using DTO functionality in a command class

class MyCommand
  include Ollama::DTO
  attr_reader :name, :value
  def initialize(name:, value:)
    @name, @value = name, value
  end
end

Instance Method Details

#==(other) ⇒ TrueClass, FalseClass

The == method compares two objects for equality based on their JSON representation.

This method checks if the JSON representation of the current object is equal to the JSON representation of another object.

representations, false otherwise

Parameters:

  • other (Object)

    the object to compare against

Returns:

  • (TrueClass, FalseClass)

    true if both objects have identical JSON

  as_json == other.as_json
end

#as_array(obj) ⇒ Array?

The as_array method converts an object into an array representation.

If the object is nil, it returns nil. If the object responds to to_ary, it calls to_ary and returns the result. Otherwise, it wraps the object in an array and returns it.

nil if the input is nil

Parameters:

  • obj (Object)

    the object to be converted to an array

Returns:

  • (Array, nil)

    an array containing the object or its elements, or

    obj.to_ary

    [ obj ]
  end
end

#as_array_of_hashes(obj) ⇒ Array<Hash>?

The as_array_of_hashes method converts an object into an array of hashes.

If the object responds to to_hash, it wraps the result in an array. If the object responds to to_ary, it maps each element to a hash and returns the resulting array.

possible, or nil otherwise

Parameters:

  • obj (Object)

    the object to be converted

Returns:

  • (Array<Hash>, nil)

    an array of hashes if the conversion was

  elsif obj.respond_to?(:to_ary)
    obj.to_ary.map(&:to_hash)
  end
end

#as_hash(obj) ⇒ Hash?

The as_hash method converts an object to a hash representation.

If the object responds to to_hash, it returns the result of that method call. If the object does not respond to to_hash, it returns nil.

object does not respond to to_hash

Parameters:

  • obj (Object)

    the object to be converted to a hash

Returns:

  • (Hash, nil)

    the hash representation of the object or nil if the

#as_json(*ignored) ⇒ Hash Also known as: to_hash

The as_json method converts the object's attributes into a JSON-compatible hash.

This method gathers all defined attributes of the object and constructs a hash representation, excluding any nil values or empty collections.

Parameters:

  • ignored (Array)

    ignored arguments

Returns:

  • (Hash)

    a hash containing the object's non-nil and non-empty attributes

  self.class.attributes.each_with_object({}) { |a, h| h[a] = send(a) }.
    reject { _2.nil? || _2.ask_and_send(:size) == 0 }
end

#empty?TrueClass, FalseClass

The empty? method checks whether the object has any attributes defined.

This method determines if the object contains no attributes by checking if its hash representation is empty. It is typically used to verify if an object, such as a DTO, has been initialized with any values.

false otherwise

Returns:

  • (TrueClass, FalseClass)

    true if the object has no attributes,

end

#to_json(*args) ⇒ String

The to_json method converts the object's JSON representation into a JSON string format.

This method utilizes the object's existing as_json representation and applies the standard JSON serialization to produce a formatted JSON string output.

Parameters:

  • args (Array)

    pass-through args

Returns:

  • (String)

    a JSON string representation of the object
