Instance Method Details

#==(object) ⇒ boolean

Equalate two value objects

Examples:

Equalate two value objects

class User
  include ShallowAttributes
  attribute :name, String, defauil: 'Ben'
end

user1 = User.new(name: 'Anton')
user2 = User.new(name: 'Anton')
user1 == user2 # => true

Parameters:

  • object (Object) —

    the other object

Returns:

  • (boolean)

Since:

  • 0.1.0

def ==(object)
  self.to_h == object.to_h
end

#attributes ⇒ Hash Also known as: to_h, to_hash

Returns hash of object attributes

Examples:

Returns all user attributs

class User
  include ShallowAttributes
  attribute :name, String
end

user = User.new(name: 'Anton')
user.attributes # => { name: "Anton" }

Returns:

  • (Hash)

Since:

  • 0.1.0

def attributes
  hash = {}
  @attributes.map do |key, value|
    hash[key] =
      value.is_a?(Array) ? value.map!(&TO_H_PROC) : TO_H_PROC.call(value)
  end
  hash
end

#attributes=(attributes) ⇒ Hash

Mass-assignment attribut values

Examples:

Assignment new user name

class User
  include ShallowAttributes
  attribute :name, String
end

user = User.new(name: 'Anton')
user.attributes = { name: "Ben" }
user.attributes # => { name: "Ben" }

Parameters:

  • attributes (Hash) —

    the attributes which will be assignment

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    attibutes hash

Since:

  • 0.1.0

def attributes=(attributes)
  @attributes.merge!(attributes)
  define_attributes
end

#coerce(value, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Sets new values and returns self. Needs for embedded value.

Examples:

Use embedded values

class User
  include ShallowAttributes
  attribute :name, String, defauil: 'Ben'
end

class Post
  include ShallowAttributes
  attribute :author, User
end

post = Post.new(author: { name: 'Anton'} )
post.user.name # => 'Anton'

Parameters:

  • values (Hash) —

    the new attributes for current object

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Returns:

  • the object

Since:

  • 0.1.0

  self.attributes = value
  self
end

#initialize(attrs = {}) ⇒ Object

Initialize instance object with specific attributes

Examples:

Create new User instance

class User
  include ShallowAttributes
  attribute :name, String
end

User.new(name: 'Anton') # => #<User @attributes={:name=>"Anton"}, @name="Anton">

Parameters:

  • attributes (Hash) —

    the attributes contained in the class

Returns:

  • the new instance of value class with specific attributes

  define_attributes
  define_default_attributes
end

#inspect ⇒ String

Inspect instance object

Examples:

Equalate two value objects

class User
  include ShallowAttributes
  attribute :name, String, defauil: 'Ben'
end

user = User.new(name: 'Anton')
user.inspect # => "#<User name=\"Anton\">"

def inspect
  "#<#{self.class}#{attributes.map{ |k, v| " #{k}=#{v.inspect}" }.join}>"
end

#reset_attribute(attribute) ⇒ Object

Reser specific attribute to defaul value.

Examples:

Reset name valus

class User
  include ShallowAttributes
  attribute :name, String, defauil: 'Ben'
end

user = User.new(name: 'Anton')
user.reset_attribute(:name)
user.attributes # => { name: "Ben" }

Parameters:

  • attribute (Symbol) —
