Constructor Details

#initialize(conditions, default, expression = (no_expression=true; nil)) ⇒ CaseExpression

Create an object with the given conditions and default value. An expression can be provided to test each condition against, instead of having all conditions represent their own boolean expression.

Raises:

def initialize(conditions, default, expression=(no_expression=true; nil))
  raise(Sequel::Error, 'CaseExpression conditions must be a hash or array of all two pairs') unless Sequel.condition_specifier?(conditions)
  @conditions, @default, @expression, @no_expression = conditions.to_a, default, expression, no_expression
end
