Instance Method Details

#class_name(clazz) ⇒ Symbol

Returns the unqualified name of a ruby class or module.

Example

class_name(Alf::Support) -> :Support

Parameters:

  • clazz (Class) —

    a ruby class

Returns:

  • (Symbol) —

    the unqualified name of the class as a Symbol

# File 'lib/alf/support/miscellaneous.rb', line 12

def class_name(clazz)
  /([A-Za-z0-9_]+)$/.match(clazz.name.to_s)[1].to_sym
end

#coerce(val, domain) ⇒ Object

Coerces a value to a particular domain.

Example:

Support.coerce("123", Integer) # => 123

Parameters:

  • val (Object) —

    any value

  • domain (Class) —

    a domain, represented by a ruby class

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    an instance of domain resulting from the coercion

Raises:

  • (Myrrha::CoercionError) —

    if something goes wrong

# File 'lib/alf/support/coerce.rb', line 23

def coerce(val, domain)
  Coercions.apply(val, domain)
end

#robust_compare(x, y) ⇒ Object

Compare x and y in a robust way, that is, by handling nil without failure.

# File 'lib/alf/support/miscellaneous.rb', line 61

def robust_compare(x, y)
  return 0  if x==y
  return -1 if x.nil?
  return 1  if y.nil?
  x.respond_to?(:<=>) ? (x <=> y) : (x.to_s <=> y.to_s)
end

#ruby_case(s) ⇒ String

Converts an unqualified class or module name to a ruby case method name.

Example

ruby_case(:Alf)  -> "alf"
ruby_case(:HelloWorld) -> "hello_world"

Parameters:

  • a (String or Symbol) —

    class or module name

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the class or module name in ruby_case

# File 'lib/alf/support/miscellaneous.rb', line 25

def ruby_case(s)
  s.to_s.gsub(/[A-Z]/){|x| "_#{x.downcase}"}[1..-1]
end

#rubycase_name(name) ⇒ Symbol

Converts name to a rubycase name, as a Symbol.

Example:

rubycase_name(Alf)        => :alf
rubycase_name(HelloWorld) => :hello_world

Parameters:

  • any (Object) —

    object, typically a Class, Symbol or String

Returns:

  • (Symbol) —

    a symbol capturing name in ruby-like casing

def rubycase_name(name)
  name = class_name(name) if name.is_a?(Module)
  name = ruby_case(name.to_s)
  name.to_sym
end

#symbolize_keys(tuple) ⇒ Tuple

Symbolizes all keys of tuple

Parameters:

  • tuple (Hash) —

    a tuple, represented by a Hash

Returns:

  • (Tuple) —

    the same tuple, with all keys as Symbols



47
48

# File 'lib/alf/support/miscellaneous.rb', line 47

def symbolize_keys(tuple)
  tuple.each_with_object({}){|(k,v),h| h[k.to_sym] = v}
end

#to_lispy(expr, default = NOT_PROVIDED) ⇒ String

Converts value to a lispy expression.

Example:

expr = Alf.examples.compile{
  project(:suppliers, [:name])
}
Support.to_lispy(expr)
# => project(:suppliers, [:name])

Parameters:

  • expr (Object) —

    any ruby object denoting a lispy expression

Returns:

  • (String) —

    a lispy expression for value

# File 'lib/alf/support/to_lispy.rb', line 18

def to_lispy(expr, default = NOT_PROVIDED)
  ToLispy.apply(expr)
rescue NotSupportedError
  raise if default == NOT_PROVIDED
  default
end

#to_ruby_literal(value) ⇒ String

Converts value to a ruby literal

This method is provided for code generation mechanisms used by Alf in various places (such as .rash files). The to_ruby_literal contract is such that the following invariant holds:

eval(to_ruby_literal(value)) == value

This contract is ensured by Myrrha::ToRubyLiteral for various ruby values. Myrrha delegates the job to value.to_ruby_literal provided this method exists. In such case, the implementation must be such that the invariant above is met.

In every case, an invocation to this method only makes sense provided that value denotes a pure value, with the obvious semantics (from TTM).

Parameters:

  • value (Object) —

    any ruby object that denotes a pure value.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    a ruby literal for value

# File 'lib/alf/support/to_ruby_literal.rb', line 22

def to_ruby_literal(value)
  ToRubyLiteral.apply(value)
end

#unsymbolize_keys(tuple) ⇒ Tuple

Unsymbolizes all keys of tuple

Parameters:

  • tuple (Hash) —

    a tuple, represented by a Hash

Returns:

  • (Tuple) —

    the same tuple, with all keys as Symbols
