Class Method Details

.attr_reader(*args) ⇒ Object

Expression objects are assumed to be value objects, where their attribute values can’t change after assignment. In order to make it easy to define equality and hash methods, subclass instances assume that the only values that affect the results of such methods are the values of the object’s attributes.

  comparison_attrs.concat args
end

.comparison_attrs ⇒ Object

All attributes used for equality and hash methods.

Alias of eql?

# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 88

def ==(other)
  eql?(other)
end

#eql?(other) ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def eql?(other)
  other.is_a?(self.class) && !self.class.comparison_attrs.find{|a| send(a) != other.send(a)}
end

#hash ⇒ Object

Make sure that the hash value is the same if the attributes are the same.

def hash
  ([self.class] + self.class.comparison_attrs.map{|x| send(x)}).hash
end

#inspect ⇒ Object

Show the class name and instance variables for the object, necessary for correct operation on ruby 1.9.2.

def inspect
  "#<#{self.class} #{instance_variables.map{|iv| "#{iv}=>#{instance_variable_get(iv).inspect}"}.join(', ')}>"
end

#lit ⇒ Object

Returns self, because SQL::Expression already acts like LiteralString.
