# frozen_string_literal: true # = delegate -- Support for the Delegation Pattern # # Documentation by James Edward Gray II and Gavin Sinclair ## # 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.) # # SimpleDelegator's implementation serves as a nice example of the use of # Delegator: # # class SimpleDelegator < Delegator # def __getobj__ # @delegate_sd_obj # return object we are delegating to, required # end # # def __setobj__(obj) # @delegate_sd_obj = obj # change delegation object, # # a feature we're providing # end # end # # == Notes # # Be advised, RDoc will not detect delegated methods. # class Delegator < BasicObject kernel = ::Kernel.dup kernel.class_eval do alias __raise__ raise [:to_s, :inspect, :=~, :!~, :===, :<=>, :hash].each do |m| undef_method m end private_instance_methods.each do |m| if /\Ablock_given\?\z|iterator\?\z|\A__.*__\z/ =~ m next end undef_method m end end include kernel # :stopdoc: def self.const_missing(n) ::Object.const_get(n) end # :startdoc: ## # :method: raise # Use __raise__ if your Delegator does not have a object to delegate the # raise method call. # # # Pass in the _obj_ to delegate method calls to.
