Overview

Note:

The monkey-patched classes String and Array provide compatible implementations of the abstract methods, so code written to target this interface is backward-compatable with plain unwrapped String and Array values.

Provides an abstract interface for a positioned cursor within an element-based input stream. The main operations are implemented by the #take and #drop methods.

The DelegatedInput subclass wraps values that already implement the interface, like String and Array. The FileInput subclass wraps opened IO streams like File, and possibly others.

Examples:

Reading the input

input = Input.build("abc")
input.at(0)           #=> "a"
input.take(3)         #=> "abc"

input = input.drop(1) #=> #<DelegatedInput ...>
input.at(0)           #=> "b"
input.take(3)         #=> "bc"

input = input.drop(1) #=> #<DelegatedInput ...>
input.at(0)           #=> "c"
input.take(3)         #=> "c"

Querying the position

input = Input.build("abc\ndef\nghi")
input.offset  #=> 0
input.line    #=> 1
input.column  #=> 1

input.drop(3).bind do |in|
  in.offset   #=> 3
  in.line     #=> 1
  in.column   #=> 4
end

input.drop(4).bind do |in|
  in.offset   #=> 4
  in.line     #=> 2
  in.column   #=> 1
end

abstract :drop, :args => %w(n)

#index ⇒ Integer

Returns the smallest n, where #at‘(n)` == element

Parameters:

  • element (Object) —

    the element to find in the input

Returns:

  • (Integer)

  • nil if element is not present in the input
