This library provides three different ways to delegate method calls to an object. The easiest to use is SimpleDelegator
. Pass an object to the constructor and all methods supported by the object will be delegated. This object can be changed later.
Going a step further, the top level DelegateClass method allows you to easily setup delegation through class inheritance. This is considerably more flexible and thus probably the most common use for this library.
Finally, if you need full control over the delegation scheme, you can inherit from the abstract class Delegator
and customize as needed. (If you find yourself needing this control, have a look at Forwardable
which is also in the standard library. It may suit your needs better.)
SimpleDelegatorâs implementation serves as a nice example of the use of Delegator:
require 'delegate' class SimpleDelegator < Delegator def __getobj__ @delegate_sd_obj end def __setobj__(obj) @delegate_sd_obj = obj end endNotes¶ ↑
Be advised, RDoc will not detect delegated methods.
Constantsdef initialize(obj) __setobj__(obj) end
Pass in the obj to delegate method calls to. All methods supported by obj will be delegated to.
Public Instance Methods SourceDelegates ! to the _getobj_
Sourcedef !=(obj) return false if obj.equal?(self) __getobj__ != obj end
Returns true if two objects are not considered of equal value.
Sourcedef ==(obj) return true if obj.equal?(self) self.__getobj__ == obj end
Returns true if two objects are considered of equal value.
Sourcedef __getobj__ __raise__ ::NotImplementedError, "need to define '__getobj__'" end
This method must be overridden by subclasses and should return the object method calls are being delegated to.
Sourcedef __setobj__(obj) __raise__ ::NotImplementedError, "need to define '__setobj__'" end
This method must be overridden by subclasses and change the object delegate to obj.
Sourcedef eql?(obj) return true if obj.equal?(self) obj.eql?(__getobj__) end
Returns true if two objects are considered of equal value.
Sourcedef freeze __getobj__.freeze super() end
:method: freeze Freeze both the object returned by _getobj_ and self.
Calls superclass method
Sourcedef marshal_dump ivars = instance_variables.reject {|var| /\A@delegate_/ =~ var} [ :__v2__, ivars, ivars.map {|var| instance_variable_get(var)}, __getobj__ ] end
Serialization support for the object returned by _getobj_.
Sourcedef marshal_load(data) version, vars, values, obj = data if version == :__v2__ vars.each_with_index {|var, i| instance_variable_set(var, values[i])} __setobj__(obj) else __setobj__(data) end end
Reinitializes delegation from a serialized object.
Sourcedef method_missing(m, *args, &block) r = true target = self.__getobj__ {r = false} if r && target_respond_to?(target, m, false) target.__send__(m, *args, &block) elsif ::Kernel.method_defined?(m) || ::Kernel.private_method_defined?(m) ::Kernel.instance_method(m).bind_call(self, *args, &block) else super(m, *args, &block) end endSource
def methods(all=true) __getobj__.methods(all) | super end
Returns the methods available to this delegate object as the union of this objectâs and _getobj_ methods.
Calls superclass method
Sourcedef protected_methods(all=true) __getobj__.protected_methods(all) | super end
Returns the methods available to this delegate object as the union of this objectâs and _getobj_ protected methods.
Calls superclass method
Sourcedef public_methods(all=true) __getobj__.public_methods(all) | super end
Returns the methods available to this delegate object as the union of this objectâs and _getobj_ public methods.
Calls superclass method
Sourcedef respond_to_missing?(m, include_private) r = true target = self.__getobj__ {r = false} r &&= target_respond_to?(target, m, include_private) if r && include_private && !target_respond_to?(target, m, false) warn "delegator does not forward private method \##{m}", uplevel: 3 return false end r end
Checks for a method provided by this the delegate object by forwarding the call through _getobj_.
Private Instance Methods Sourcedef target_respond_to?(target, m, include_private) case target when Object target.respond_to?(m, include_private) else if KERNEL_RESPOND_TO.bind_call(target, :respond_to?) target.respond_to?(m, include_private) else KERNEL_RESPOND_TO.bind_call(target, m, include_private) end end end
