Module: Sinatra::Decompile

Extended by:
Decompile
Included in:
Decompile, Namespace::NamespacedMethods
Defined in:
lib/sinatra/decompile.rb

Overview

Sinatra::Decompile

Sinatra::Decompile is an extension that provides a method, conveniently called decompile, that will generate a String pattern for a given route.

Usage

Classic Application

To use the extension in a classic application all you need to do is require it:

require "sinatra"
require "sinatra/decompile"

# Your classic application code goes here...

This will add the decompile method to the application/class scope, but you can also call it as Sinatra::Decompile.decompile.

Modular Application

To use the extension in a modular application you need to require it, and then, tell the application you will use it:

require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/decompile"

class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::Decompile

  # The rest of your modular application code goes here...
end

This will add the decompile method to the application/class scope. You can choose not to register the extension, but instead of calling decompile, you will need to call Sinatra::Decompile.decompile.

Instance Method Summary collapse

Instance Method Details

#decompile(pattern, keys = nil) ⇒ Object

Regenerates a string pattern for a given route

Example:

class Sinatra::Application
  routes.each do |verb, list|
    puts "#{verb}:"
    list.each do |data|
      puts "\t" << decompile(data)
    end
  end
end

Will return the internal Regexp if unable to reconstruct the pattern, which likely indicates that a Regexp was used in the first place.

You can also use this to check whether you could actually use a string pattern instead of your regexp:

decompile /^/foo$/ # => '/foo'
