Overview

Module for code related to grape’s system for coercion and type validation of incoming request parameters.

Grape uses a number of tests and assertions to work out exactly how a parameter should be handled, based on the type and coerce_with options that may be supplied to Dsl::Parameters#requires and Dsl::Parameters#optional. The main entry point for this process is Types.build_coercer.

Class Method Details

.build_coercer(type, method: nil, strict: false) ⇒ Object

Chooses the best coercer for the given type. For example, if the type is Integer, it will return a coercer which will be able to coerce a value to the integer.

There are a few very special coercers which might be returned.

Grape::Types::MultipleTypeCoercer is a coercer which is returned when the given type implies values in an array with different types. For example, [Integer, String] allows integer and string values in an array.

Grape::Types::CustomTypeCoercer is a coercer which is returned when a method is specified by a user with coerce_with option or the user specifies a custom type which implements requirments of Grape::Types::CustomTypeCoercer.

Grape::Types::CustomTypeCollectionCoercer is a very similar to the previous one, but it expects an array or set of values having a custom type implemented by the user.

There is also a group of custom types implemented by Grape, check Grape::Validations::Types::SPECIAL to get the full list.

Parameters:

  • type (Class) —

    the type to which input strings should be coerced

  • method (Class, #call) (defaults to: nil) —

    the coercion method to use

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    object to be used for coercion and type validation

.collection_of_custom?(type) ⇒ Boolean

Is the declared type an Array or Set of a #custom? type?

Parameters:

  • type (Array<Class>, Class) —

    type to check

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if type is a collection of a type that implements its own #parse method.

    MultipleTypeCoercer.new(type, method)

    # Use a special coercer for custom types and coercion methods.
  elsif method || Types.custom?(type)
    CustomTypeCoercer.new(type, method)

    # Special coercer for collections of types that implement a parse method.

    # method is supplied.

  end
end

.custom?(type) ⇒ Boolean

A valid custom type must implement a class-level ‘parse` method, taking one String argument and returning the parsed value in its correct type.

Parameters:

  • type (Class) —

    type to check

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    whether or not the type can be used as a custom type

    !multiple?(type) &&
    type.respond_to?(:parse) &&
    type.method(:parse).arity == 1
end

.group?(type) ⇒ Boolean

Is the declared type a supported group type? Currently supported group types are Array, Hash, JSON, and Array

Parameters:

  • type (Array<Class>, Class) —

    type to check

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if the type is a supported group type

def map_special(type)
  SPECIAL.fetch(type, type)
end

.multiple?(type) ⇒ Boolean

Is the declared type in fact an array of multiple allowed types? For example the declaration types: [Integer,String] will attempt first to coerce given values to integer, but will also accept any other string.

Parameters:

  • type (Array<Class>, Set<Class>) —

    type (or type list!) to check

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if the given value will be treated as a list of types.

end

.primitive?(type) ⇒ Boolean

Is the given class a primitive type as recognized by Grape?

Parameters:

  • type (Class) —

    type to check

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    whether or not the type is known by Grape as a valid type for a single value

def primitive?(type)

Parameters:

  • type (Class) —

    type to check

  • (Boolean) —

    true if special routines are available

    type to check

  • (Boolean) —

    whether or not the type is known by Grape as a valid data structure type
