Overview

The Intrinsic model is the gateway to all the sub models, and by including it into a model or class you gain all of the power of the library

Class Method Details

.included(subject) ⇒ Object

Defines a hooks onto ‘include` so that the subject is also extended with the model meaning that singleton and instance methods exist on the class and instance of the class.

def self.included(subject)
  # Make a call to the superclass original included method
  super
  # Extend the class with the model to get the singleton methods
  subject.extend Intrinsicism
  # Send the include method with the model as an argument
  # TODO: Find out if this is needed?
  subject.send :include, Intrinsicism
end

Instance Method Details

#initialize(values = {}) ⇒ Object

Defines the initialize method that takes a hash and sets the properties to those values. It also takes the defaults and assigns them to the properties. TODO: Rename the parameter to something else, like ‘initial_properties` TODO: Make sure all the keys are symbols, or at least turn them into symbols

def initialize(values = {})
  # Create a new empty table for the properties, and then merge in the defaults
  # TODO: Make defaults a class variable
  @properties = {}.merge self.class.defaults
  # Check to make sure all of the given properties are within the acceptable list
  # TODO: Rename this method, it's terribly named
  # TODO: Move it above everything else, and in an if block to save CPU time
  check_properties_of values
  # Go over each property-value pair and send the value to the correct
  # property method
  values.each { |property, value| send property.to_sym, value }
  # Return the object for chaining purposes
  # TODO: Is this even needed?
  self
end

#to_s ⇒ Object

Redefining the ‘to_s` method so that print out is prettier TODO: Change object_id to the correct hash TODO: Remove self from object_id
