Delegater

Delegator is an abstract class used to build delegator pattern objects from subclasses. Subclasses should redefine _getobj_. For a concrete implementation, see SimpleDelegator.

Constants

IgnoreBacktracePat

Public Class Methods

new(obj) click to toggle source

Pass in the obj to delegate method calls to. All methods supported by obj will be delegated to.

 
               # File delegate.rb, line 124
  def initialize(obj)
    preserved = ::Kernel.public_instance_methods(false)
    preserved -= ["to_s","to_a","inspect","==","=~","==="]
    for t in self.class.ancestors
      preserved |= t.public_instance_methods(false)
      preserved |= t.private_instance_methods(false)
      preserved |= t.protected_instance_methods(false)

Public Instance Methods

__getobj__() click to toggle source

This method must be overridden by subclasses and should return the object method calls are being delegated to.

 
               # File delegate.rb, line 175
def __getobj__
  raise NotImplementedError, "need to define `__getobj__'"
end
marshal_dump() click to toggle source

Serialization support for the object returned by _getobj_.

 
               # File delegate.rb, line 180
def marshal_dump
  __getobj__
end
marshal_load(obj) click to toggle source

Reinitializes delegation from a serialized object.

 
               # File delegate.rb, line 184
def marshal_load(obj)
  initialize_methods(obj)
  __setobj__(obj)
end
method_missing(m, *args, &block) click to toggle source

Handles the magic of delegation through _getobj_.

 
               # File delegate.rb, line 154
def method_missing(m, *args, &block)
  target = self.__getobj__
  unless target.respond_to?(m)
    super(m, *args, &block)
  end
  target.__send__(m, *args, &block)
end
respond_to?(m, include_private = false) click to toggle source

Checks for a method provided by this the delegate object by fowarding the call through _getobj_.

 
               # File delegate.rb, line 166
def respond_to?(m, include_private = false)
  return true if super
  return self.__getobj__.respond_to?(m, include_private)
end
