Overview

The Evaluator class provides a class for evaluating Ruby expressions based on variable settings provided at runtime. If the same Evaluator object is used for several successive calls, it can maintain state between calls with instance variables. The call to Evaluator.new can be given a hash of instance variable names and values that will be maintained across all calls to the #evaluate method. In addition, on each evaluate call, a set of /local/ variables can be supplied to provide variables that exist only for the duration of that evaluate call. An optional before and after string can be given to the constructor that will evaluate the given expression before and, respectively, after each call to #evaluate. This provides a way to update values of instance variables for use in subsequent calls to #evaluate.
