Overview

This class is abstract.

Subclasses should implement #call.

The base directive class. Subclass this class to create a custom directive, registering it with Library.define_directive. Directive classes are executed via the #call method, which perform all directive processing on the object.

If processing occurs within a handler, the #handler attribute is available to access more information about parsing context and state. Handlers are only available when parsing from Parser::SourceParser, not when parsing directly from DocstringParser. If the docstring is attached to an object declaration, #object will be set and available to modify the generated code object directly. Note that both of these attributes may be nil, and directives should test their existence before attempting to use them.

#initialize(tag, parser) ⇒ Directive

Returns a new instance of Directive.

Parameters:

  • tag (Tag) —

    the meta-data tag containing all input to the docstring

  • parser (DocstringParser) —

    the docstring parser object

Since:

  • 0.8.0

Instance Attribute Details

#expanded_text ⇒ String?

Set this field to replace the directive definition inside of a docstring with arbitrary text. For instance, the MacroDirective uses this field to expand its macro data in place of the call to a @!macro.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the text to expand in the original docstring in place of this directive definition.

  • (nil) —

    if no expansion should take place for this directive

Since:

  • 0.8.0

#handler ⇒ Handlers::Base? (readonly)

Returns the handler object the docstring parser might be attached to. May be nil. Only available when parsing through Parser::SourceParser.

#object ⇒ CodeObjects::Base? (readonly)

Returns the object the parent docstring is attached to. May be nil.

Returns:

  • (CodeObjects::Base, nil) —

    the object the parent docstring is attached to. May be nil.

Since:

  • 0.8.0

#parser ⇒ DocstringParser (protected)

Returns the parser that is parsing all tag information out of the docstring.

Returns:

  • (DocstringParser) —

    the parser that is parsing all tag information out of the docstring

Instance Method Details

#after_parse ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Called after parsing all directives and tags in the docstring. Used to perform any cleanup after all directives perform their main task.

Since:

  • 0.8.0

# File 'lib/yard/tags/directives.rb', line 73

def after_parse; end

#call ⇒ void

This method is abstract.

implement this method to perform all data processing for the directive.

This method returns an undefined value.

Called when processing the directive. Subclasses should implement this method to perform all functionality of the directive.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

  • 0.8.0
