Module: Gdbmish::Dump

Defined in:
lib/gdbmish/dump.rb

Overview

Wrapper for different dump formats, providing various shortcut methods. Currently, there is only Ascii mode.

Ascii mode optionally dumps file information such as filename, owner, mode. See Ascii#new on how they are used.

Class Method Details

.ascii(data = nil, io = nil, **fileoptions) {|appender| ... } ⇒ String, IO

Dump data as standard ASCII format. When an io is given, the dump will be written to it. Otherwise, a new String will be returned. See Gdbmish::Dump::Ascii#initialize for fileoptions. See Gdbmish::Dump::Ascii#dump for data and block behaviour.

Examples:

Dumping simple Hash into an IO

File.open("test.dump", "w") do |file|
  Gdbmish::Dump.ascii({some: "data"}, file)
end

Dumping into a String

string_dump = Gdbmish::Dump.ascii({some: "data"})

Dumping into IO with file information and block

Gdbmish::Dump.ascii(io, file: "test.db", uid: "1000", user: "ziggy", gid: "1000", group: "staff", mode: 0o600) do |appender|
  MyData.each do |object|
    appender.push(object.id, object.dump)
  end
end

Parameters:

  • data (#each_pair, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    The data to dump

  • io (IO, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    The IO to dump to

  • fileoptions (Hash) —

    Options for the dump file

Yields:

  • (appender) —

    The appender to push data onto the dump

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The dump as a string when no io is given

  • (IO) —

    The IO written to when io is given
