Instance Method Details

#alter(method, value, *context) ⇒ Object

Call all plugins and allow for altering a value.

The return value of each hook is passed into the next alter function, hence all implementations must always return a value. If the hook doesn't wish to modify data this call then it should return the original value.

Parameters:

  • method (Symbol) —

    The name of the method to call. This should be namespaced somehow. For example, a plugin called usmu-s3 could use the method namespace s3 and have a hook called :s3_upload

  • value (Object) —

    The value to modify.

  • context (Array) —

    Optional extra parameters to provide.

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    The modified value.

def alter(method, value, *context)
  @log.debug("Invoking plugin alter API #{method}")
  plugins.each do |p|
    if p.respond_to? "#{method}_alter"
      @log.debug("Sending message to #{p.class.name}")
      value = p.public_send "#{method}_alter", value, *context
    end
  end
  value
end

#invoke(method, *args) ⇒ Array

Call all plugins and collate any data returned.

nil can be returned explicitly to say this plugin has nothing to return.

Parameters:

  • method (Symbol) —

    The name of the method to call. This should be namespaced somehow. For example, a plugin called usmu-s3 could use the method namespace s3 and have a hook called :s3_upload

  • args (Array) —

    The arguments to pass through to plugins. Can be empty.

Returns:

  • (Array) —

    An array of non-nil values returned from plugins

def load_gem(spec)
  load_path = spec.name.gsub('-', '/')
  require load_path

  unless @loaded.include? load_path
    @loaded << load_path
    klass = path_to_class(load_path)
    @log.debug("Loading plugin #{klass} from '#{load_path}'")
    plugins.push plugin_get(klass)
  end
  nil
end

#load_plugins ⇒ void

Loads all plugins that are available as gems. This is determined by looking at the gem's name. Anything prefixed with the string 'usmu-' will be recognised as a plugin. This will load the gem according to the RubyGems recommendations for naming schemes. A gem named usmu-s3_uploader will be loaded by requiring the path 'usmu/s3_uploader' and then then the class Usmu::S3Uploader will be instantiated as the plugins interface.
