Overview

Provides a single class to call to create a new structured or unstructured field. Works out per RFC what field of field it is being given and returns the correct field of class back on new.

Per RFC 2822

2.2. Header Fields

   Header fields are lines composed of a field name, followed by a colon
   (":"), followed by a field body, and terminated by CRLF.  A field
   name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters (i.e.,
   characters that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except
   colon.  A field body may be composed of any US-ASCII characters,
   except for CR and LF.  However, a field body may contain CRLF when
   used in header "folding" and  "unfolding" as described in section
   2.2.3.  All field bodies MUST conform to the syntax described in
   sections 3 and 4 of this standard.

Constructor Details

#initialize(name, value = nil, charset = 'utf-8') ⇒ Field

Create a field by name and optional value:

Mail::Field.new("field-name", "value")
# => #<Mail::Field …>

Values that aren’t strings or arrays are coerced to Strings with ‘#to_s`.

Mail::Field.new("field-name", 1234)
# => #<Mail::Field …>

Mail::Field.new('content-type', ['text', 'plain', {:charset => 'UTF-8'}])
# => #<Mail::Field …>

def initialize(name, value = nil, charset = 'utf-8')
  case
  when name.index(Constants::COLON)
    raise ArgumentError, 'Passing an unparsed header field to Mail::Field.new is not supported in Mail 2.8.0+. Use Mail::Field.parse instead.'
  when Utilities.blank?(value)
    @name = name
    @unparsed_value = nil

  end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

# File 'lib/mail/field.rb', line 232

def method_missing(name, *args, &block)
  field.send(name, *args, &block)
end
