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.
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.
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.
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
Sourcedef 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
.
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
.
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
Sourcedef 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
Sourcedef has_value?( val ) each_value { |v| return true if v == val } return false end
Returns true if specified value
is found in the database.
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 âDBM#index is deprecated; use DBM#key
â, but DBM#key
behaves not same as DBM#index
.
Calls superclass method
Sourcedef 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.
Sourcedef key( keystr ) invert[keystr] end
Returns the key for the specified value.
Sourcedef 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
.
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.
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
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
Sourcedef 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
Sourcedef 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.
Sourcedef 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.
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
.
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
Sourcedef values_at( *keys ) keys.collect { |k| fetch( k ) } end
Returns an array containing the values associated with the given keys.
