Simple library to declare read only attributes on value-objects that are initialized via attributes hash.
Install the gem anima via your preferred method.
require 'anima'
# Definition
class Person
include Anima.new(:salutation, :firstname, :lastname)
end
# Every day operation
a = Person.new(
salutation: 'Mr',
firstname: 'Markus',
lastname: 'Schirp'
)
# Returns expected values
a.salutation # => "Mr"
a.firstname # => "Markus"
a.lastname # => "Schirp"
a.frozen? # => false
b = Person.new(
salutation: 'Mr',
firstname: 'John',
lastname: 'Doe'
)
c = Person.new(
salutation: 'Mr',
firstname: 'Markus',
lastname: 'Schirp'
)
# Equality based on attributes
a == b # => false
a.eql?(b) # => false
a.equal?(b) # => false
a == c # => true
a.eql?(c) # => true
a.equal?(c) # => false
# Functional-style updates
d = b.with(
salutation: 'Mrs',
firstname: 'Sue',
)
# It returns copies, no inplace modification
d.equal?(b) # => false
# Hash representation
d.to_h # => { salutation: 'Mrs', firstname: 'Sue', lastname: 'Doe' }
# Disallows initialization with incompatible attributes
Person.new(
# :saluatation key missing
"firstname" => "Markus", # does NOT coerce this by intention
:lastname => "Schirp"
) # raises Anima::Error with message "Person attributes missing: [:salutation, :firstname], unknown: ["firstname"]- Markus Schirp mbj@schirp-dso.com
- Fork the project.
- Make your feature addition or bug fix.
- Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Commit, do not mess with Rakefile or version (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
- Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
