Defined in:
lib/i18n-inflector/api_strict.rb

Overview

This class contains common operations that can be performed on inflection data describing strict kinds and tokens assigned to them (used in named patterns). It is used by the regular API and present there as strict instance attribute.

It operates on the database containing instances of InflectionData_Strict indexed by locale names and has methods to access the inflection data in an easy way. It can operate on a database and options passed to initializer; if they aren’t passet it will create them.

Usage

You can access the instance of this class attached to default I18n backend by calling:

I18n.backend.inflector.strict

or in a short form:

I18n.inflector.strict

In most cases using the regular API instance may be sufficient to operate on inflection data, because the regular API (instantiated as I18n.inflector) is aware of strict kinds and can pass calls from API_Strict object if the kind argument given in a method call contains the @ symbol.

For an instance connected to default I18n backend the object containing inflection options is shared with the regular API.

Constructor Details

#initialize(idb = nil, options = nil) ⇒ API_Strict

Note:

If any given option is nil then a proper object will be created. If it’s given, then it will be referenced, not copied.

Initilizes inflector by connecting to internal databases used for storing inflection data and options.

Parameters:

  • idb (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    the strict inflections databases indexed by locale

  • options (I18n::Inflector::InflectionOptions, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    the inflection options

#token_description(token, kind) ⇒ String? #token_description(token, kind, locale) ⇒ String?

Note:

If the given token is really an alias it returns the description of the true token that it points to.

Gets the description of the given inflection token belonging to a strict kind.

Overloads:

  • #token_description(token, kind) ⇒ String?

    Uses the current locale and the given token to get a description of that token.

    Parameters:

    • token (Symbol, String) —

      the token

    • kind (Symbol, String) —

      the identifier of a kind

    Returns:

    • (String, nil) —

      the descriptive string or nil if something went wrong (e.g. token was not found)

  • #token_description(token, kind, locale) ⇒ String?

    Uses the given locale and the given token to get a description of that token.

    Parameters:

    • token (Symbol, String) —

      the token

    • kind (Symbol, String) —

      the identifier of a kind

    • locale (Symbol) —

      the locale to use

    Returns:

    • (String, nil) —

      the descriptive string or nil if something went wrong (e.g. token was not found)

#tokens(kind) ⇒ Hash #tokens(kind, locale) ⇒ Hash

Note:

You cannot deduce where aliases are pointing to, since the information about a target is replaced by the description. To get targets use the #raw_tokens method. To simply list aliases and their targets use the #aliases method.

Gets available inflection tokens belonging to a strict kind and their descriptions.

Overloads:

  • #tokens(kind) ⇒ Hash

    Gets available inflection tokens and their descriptions for some kind and the current locale.

    Parameters:

    • kind (Symbol, String) —

      the kind of inflection tokens to be returned

    Returns:

    • (Hash) —

      the hash containing available inflection tokens (including aliases) as keys and their descriptions as values

  • #tokens(kind, locale) ⇒ Hash

    Gets available inflection tokens and their descriptions of the given kind and locale.

    Parameters:

    • kind (Symbol, String) —

      the kind of inflection tokens to be returned

    • locale (Symbol) —

      the locale to use

    Returns:

    • (Hash) —

      the hash containing available inflection tokens (including aliases) as keys and their descriptions as values

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    the hash containing available inflection tokens and descriptions

#tokens_raw(kind) ⇒ Hash #tokens_raw(kind, locale) ⇒ Hash Also known as: raw_tokens

Note:

You may deduce whether the returned values are aliases or true tokens by testing if a value is a kind of Symbol or a String.

Gets available inflection tokens belonging to a strict kind and their values.

Overloads:

  • #tokens_raw(kind) ⇒ Hash

    Gets available inflection tokens and their values of the given kind and the current locale.

    Parameters:

    • kind (Symbol, String) —

      the kind of inflection tokens to be returned

    Returns:

    • (Hash) —

      the hash containing available inflection tokens as keys and their descriptions as values; in case of aliases the returned values are Symbols

  • #tokens_raw(kind, locale) ⇒ Hash

    Gets available inflection tokens (and their values) of the given kind and locale.

    Parameters:

    • kind (Symbol, String) —

      the kind of inflection tokens to be returned

    • locale (Symbol) —

      the locale to use

    Returns:

    • (Hash) —

      the hash containing available inflection tokens as keys and their descriptions as values. In case of aliases the returned values are Symbols

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    the hash containing available inflection tokens and descriptions (or alias pointers)

#true_token(token, kind) ⇒ Symbol? #true_token(token, kind, locale) ⇒ Symbol? Also known as: resolve_alias

Gets true token for the given token belonging to a strict kind. If the token is an alias it will be resolved and a true token (target) will be returned.

Overloads:

      the identifier of the checked token

    • kind (Symbol, String) —

      the identifier of a kind

    Returns:

    • (Symbol, nil) —

      the true token or nil

  • #true_token(token, kind, locale) ⇒ Symbol?

    Uses the given locale and kind to get a real token for the given token. If the token is an alias it will be resolved and a true token (target) will be returned.

    • token (Symbol, String) —

      the identifier of the checked token

    • kind (Symbol, String) —

      the identifier of a kind
