Module: Domainic::Attributer::InstanceMethods

Defined in:
lib/domainic/attributer/instance_methods.rb

Overview

A module providing instance-level attribute functionality.

This module defines instance methods for objects that include Domainic::Attributer. It provides initialization handling and attribute serialization capabilities, making it easy to work with attribute values in a consistent way.

Examples:

Basic usage

class Person
  include Domainic::Attributer

  argument :name
  option :age, default: nil
  option :role, default: 'user', private_read: true
end

person = Person.new('Alice', age: 30)
person.to_h  # => { name: 'Alice', age: 30 }  # role is private, not included

Instance Method Details

#initialize ⇒ void

Initialize a new instance with attribute values.

Handles both positional arguments and keyword options, applying them to their corresponding attributes. This process includes:

  1. Validating required arguments

  2. Applying default values

  3. Type validation and coercion

  4. Change notifications

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if required arguments are missing

Since:

  • 0.1.0

def initialize(...)
  DSL::Initializer.new(self).assign!(...)
end

#to_hash ⇒ Hash{Symbol => Object} Also known as: to_h

Convert public attribute values to a hash.

Creates a hash containing all public readable attributes and their current values. Any attributes marked as private or protected for reading are excluded from the result.

Examples:

Basic conversion

person = Person.new('Alice', age: 30)
person.to_h  # => { name: 'Alice', age: 30 }

Returns:

  • (Hash{Symbol => Object}) —

    hash of attribute names to values

Since:

  • 0.1.0

    result[attribute.name] = public_send(attribute.name)
