# frozen_string_literal: false # # forwardable.rb - # $Release Version: 1.1$ # $Revision: 58085 $ # by Keiju ISHITSUKA(keiju@ishitsuka.com) # original definition by delegator.rb # Revised by Daniel J. Berger with suggestions from Florian Gross. # # Documentation by James Edward Gray II and Gavin Sinclair # The Forwardable module provides delegation of specified # methods to a designated object, using the methods #def_delegator # and #def_delegators. # # For example, say you have a class RecordCollection which # contains an array @records. You could provide the lookup method # #record_number(), which simply calls #[] on the @records # array, like this: # # require 'forwardable' # # class RecordCollection # attr_accessor :records # extend Forwardable # def_delegator :@records, :[], :record_number # end # # We can use the lookup method like so: # # r = RecordCollection.new # r.records = [4,5,6] # r.record_number(0) # => 4 # # Further, if you wish to provide the methods #size, #<<, and #map, # all of which delegate to @records, this is how you can do it: # # class RecordCollection # re-open RecordCollection class # def_delegators :@records, :size, :<<, :map # end # # r = RecordCollection.new # r.records = [1,2,3] # r.record_number(0) # => 1 # r.size # => 3 # r << 4 # => [1, 2, 3, 4] # r.map { |x| x * 2 } # => [2, 4, 6, 8] # # You can even extend regular objects with Forwardable. # # my_hash = Hash.new # my_hash.extend Forwardable # prepare object for delegation # my_hash.def_delegator "STDOUT", "puts" # add delegation for STDOUT.puts() # my_hash.puts "Howdy!" # # == Another example # # We want to rely on what has come before obviously, but with delegation we can # take just the methods we need and even rename them as appropriate. In many # cases this is preferable to inheritance, which gives us the entire old # interface, even if much of it isn't needed. # # class Queue # extend Forwardable # # def initialize # @q = [ ] # prepare delegate object # end # # # setup preferred interface, enq() and deq()... # def_delegator :@q, :push, :enq # def_delegator :@q, :shift, :deq # # # support some general Array methods that fit Queues well # def_delegators :@q, :clear, :first, :push, :shift, :size # end # # q = Queue.new # q.enq 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 # q.push 6 # # q.shift # => 1 # while q.size > 0 # puts q.deq # end # # q.enq "Ruby", "Perl", "Python" # puts q.first # q.clear # puts q.first # # This should output: # # 2 # 3 # 4 # 5 # 6 # Ruby # nil # # == Notes # # Be advised, RDoc will not detect delegated methods. # # +forwardable.rb+ provides single-method delegation via the def_delegator and # def_delegators methods.
