class YAML::DBM - Documentation for Ruby 3.5

  1. YAML::
  2. DBM
class YAML::DBM

YAML + DBM = YDBM

YAML::DBM provides the same interface as ::DBM.

However, while DBM only allows strings for both keys and values, this library allows one to use most Ruby objects for values by first converting them to YAML. Keys must be strings.

Conversion to and from YAML is performed automatically.

See the documentation for ::DBM and ::YAML for more information.

Public Instance Methods

Source

def []( key )
    fetch( key )
end

Return value associated with key from database.

Returns nil if there is no such key.

See fetch for more information.

Source

def []=( key, val )
    store( key, val )
end

Set key to value in database.

value will be converted to YAML before storage.

See store for more information.

Source

def delete( key )
    v = super( key )
    if String === v
        if YAML.respond_to?(:safe_load)
            v = YAML.safe_load( v )
        else
            v = YAML.load( v )
        end
    end
    v
end

Deletes value from database associated with key.

Returns value or nil.

Calls superclass method

Source

def delete_if 
    del_keys = keys.dup
    del_keys.delete_if { |k| yield( k, fetch( k ) ) == false }
    del_keys.each { |k| delete( k ) }
    self
end

Calls the given block once for each key, value pair in the database. Deletes all entries for which the block returns true.

Returns self.

Source

def each_pair 
    keys.each { |k| yield k, fetch( k ) }
    self
end

Calls the given block once for each key, value pair in the database.

Returns self.

Source

def each_value 
    super { |v| yield YAML.respond_to?(:safe_load) ? YAML.safe_load( v ) : YAML.load( v ) }
    self
end

Calls the given block for each value in database.

Returns self.

Calls superclass method

Source

def fetch( keystr, ifnone = nil )
    begin
        val = super( keystr )
        if String === val
            if YAML.respond_to?(:safe_load)
                return YAML.safe_load( val )
            else
                return YAML.load( val )
            end
        end
    rescue IndexError
    end
    if block_given?
        yield keystr
    else
        ifnone
    end
end

Return value associated with key.

If there is no value for key and no block is given, returns ifnone.

Otherwise, calls block passing in the given key.

See ::DBM#fetch for more information.

Calls superclass method

Source

def has_value?( val )
    each_value { |v| return true if v == val }
    return false
end

Returns true if specified value is found in the database.

Source

def index( keystr )
    super( keystr.to_yaml )
end

Deprecated, used YAML::DBM#key instead.

Note: YAML::DBM#index makes warning from internal of ::DBM#index. It says ‘DBM#index is deprecated; use DBM#key’, but DBM#key behaves not same as DBM#index.

Calls superclass method

Source

def invert
    h = {}
    keys.each { |k| h[ self.fetch( k ) ] = k }
    h
end

Returns a Hash (not a DBM database) created by using each value in the database as a key, with the corresponding key as its value.

Note that all values in the hash will be Strings, but the keys will be actual objects.

Source

def key( keystr )
    invert[keystr]
end

Returns the key for the specified value.

Source

def reject
    hsh = self.to_hash
    hsh.reject { |k,v| yield k, v }
end

Converts the contents of the database to an in-memory Hash, then calls Hash#reject with the specified code block, returning a new Hash.

Source

def replace( hsh )
    clear
    update( hsh )
end

Replaces the contents of the database with the contents of the specified object. Takes any object which implements the each_pair method, including Hash and DBM objects.

Source

def select( *keys )
    if block_given?
        self.keys.collect { |k| v = self[k]; [k, v] if yield k, v }.compact
    else
        values_at( *keys )
    end
end

If a block is provided, returns a new array containing [key, value] pairs for which the block returns true.

Otherwise, same as values_at

Source

def shift
    a = super
    if a
      a[1] = YAML.respond_to?(:safe_load) ? YAML.safe_load( a[1] ) : YAML.load( a[1] )
    end
    a
end

Removes a [key, value] pair from the database, and returns it. If the database is empty, returns nil.

The order in which values are removed/returned is not guaranteed.

Calls superclass method

Source

def store( key, val )
    super( key, val.to_yaml )
    val
end

Stores value in database with key as the index. value is converted to YAML before being stored.

Returns value

Calls superclass method

Source

def to_a
    a = []
    keys.each { |k| a.push [ k, self.fetch( k ) ] }
    a
end

Converts the contents of the database to an array of [key, value] arrays, and returns it.

Source

def to_hash
    h = {}
    keys.each { |k| h[ k ] = self.fetch( k ) }
    h
end

Converts the contents of the database to an in-memory Hash object, and returns it.

Source

def update( hsh )
    hsh.each_pair do |k,v|
        self.store( k, v )
    end
    self
end

Updates the database with multiple values from the specified object. Takes any object which implements the each_pair method, including Hash and DBM objects.

Returns self.

Source

def values
    super.collect { |v| YAML.respond_to?(:safe_load) ? YAML.safe_load( v ) : YAML.load( v ) }
end

Returns an array of values from the database.

Calls superclass method

Source

def values_at( *keys )
    keys.collect { |k| fetch( k ) }
end

Returns an array containing the values associated with the given keys.
