Methods

impl Module

pub fn new(name: &str) -> Self

Creates a new Module.

Examples

use rutie::{Module, VM};

let basic_record_module = Module::new("BasicRecord");

assert_eq!(basic_record_module, Module::from_existing("BasicRecord"));

Ruby:

module BasicRecord
end

pub fn from_existing(name: &str) -> Self

Retrieves an existing Module object.

Examples

use rutie::{Module, VM};

let module = Module::new("Record");

assert_eq!(module, Module::from_existing("Record"));

Ruby:

module Record
end

# get module

Record

# or

Object.const_get('Record')

Important traits for Vec<u8>

impl Write for Vec<u8>

pub fn ancestors(&self) -> Vec<Module>

Returns a Vector of ancestors of current module

Examples

Getting all the ancestors

let expected_ancestors = vec![
    Module::from_existing("Process")
];

assert_eq!(process_module_ancestors, expected_ancestors);

Searching for an ancestor

use rutie::{Module, VM};

let record_module = Module::new("Record");

let ancestors = record_module.ancestors();

assert!(ancestors.iter().any(|module| *module == record_module));

pub fn get_nested_module(&self, name: &str) -> Self

Retrieves a Module nested to current Module.

Examples

use rutie::{Module, Object, VM};

Module::new("Outer").define(|itself| {
    itself.define_nested_module("Inner");
});

Module::from_existing("Outer").get_nested_module("Inner");

Ruby:

module Outer
  module Inner
  end
end

Outer::Inner

# or

Outer.const_get('Inner')

pub fn get_nested_class(&self, name: &str) -> Class

Retrieves a Class nested to current Module.

Examples

use rutie::{Class, Module, Object, VM};

Module::new("Outer").define(|itself| {
    itself.define_nested_class("Inner", None);
});

Module::from_existing("Outer").get_nested_class("Inner");

Ruby:

module Outer
  class Inner
  end
end

Outer::Inner

# or

Outer.const_get('Inner')

pub fn define_nested_module(&mut self, name: &str) -> Self

Creates a new Module nested into current Module.

Examples

use rutie::{Module, Object, VM};

Module::new("Outer").define(|itself| {
    itself.define_nested_module("Inner");

pub fn define_module_function<I: Object, O: Object>(     &mut self,     name: &str,     callback: Callback<I, O> )

Defines an instance method for the given module.

Use methods! macro to define a callback.

You can also use def() alias for this function combined with Module::define() for a nicer DSL.

Panics

Ruby can raise an exception if you try to define instance method directly on an instance of some class (like Fixnum, String, Array etc).

Use this method only on classes (or singleton classes of objects).

Examples

The famous String#blank? method

#[macro_use] extern crate rutie;

use rutie::{Boolean, Module, Class, Object, RString, VM};

methods!(
   RString,
   itself,

   fn is_blank() -> Boolean {
       Boolean::new(itself.to_str().chars().all(|c| c.is_whitespace()))
   }
);

fn main() {
    Module::new("Blank").define(|itself| {
        itself.mod_func("blank?", is_blank);
    });

    Class::from_existing("String").include("Blank");
}

Ruby:

module Blank
  def blank?
    # simplified
    self.chars.all? { |c| c == ' ' }
  end
  module_function :blank?
end

String.include Blank

Receiving arguments

Raise Fixnum to the power of exp.

#[macro_use] extern crate rutie;

use std::error::Error;

use rutie::{Module, Fixnum, Object, VM};

methods!(
    Fixnum,

        // `exp` is not a valid `Fixnum`, raise an exception
        if let Err(ref error) = exp {
            VM::raise(error.to_exception(), error.description());
        }

        // We can safely unwrap here, because an exception was raised if `exp` is `Err`
        let exp = exp.unwrap().to_i64() as u32;

        Fixnum::new(itself.to_i64().pow(exp))
    }

    fn pow_with_default_argument(exp: Fixnum) -> Fixnum {
        let default_exp = 0;
        let exp = exp.map(|exp| exp.to_i64()).unwrap_or(default_exp);

        let result = itself.to_i64().pow(exp as u32);

        Fixnum::new(result)
    }
);

fn main() {
    Module::from_existing("Fixnum").define(|itself| {
        itself.mod_func("pow", pow);
        itself.mod_func("pow_with_default_argument", pow_with_default_argument);
    });
}

Ruby:

module Fixnum
  def pow(exp)
    raise ArgumentError unless exp.is_a?(Fixnum)

    self ** exp
  end
  module_function :pow

  def pow_with_default_argument(exp)
    default_exp = 0
    exp = default_exp unless exp.is_a?(Fixnum)

    self ** exp
  end
  module_function :pow_with_default_argument
end

pub fn mod_func<I: Object, O: Object>(     &mut self,     name: &str,     callback: Callback<I, O> )

An alias for define_module_function (similar to Ruby module_function :some_method).

pub fn const_get(&self, name: &str) -> AnyObject

Retrieves a constant from module.

Examples

use rutie::{Module, Object, RString, VM};

Module::new("Greeter").define(|itself| {
    itself.const_set("GREETING", &RString::new("Hello, World!"));
});

let greeting = Module::from_existing("Greeter")

    .try_convert_to::<RString>()
    .unwrap();

assert_eq!(greeting.to_str(), "Hello, World!");

module Greeter
  GREETING = 'Hello, World!'
end

    .const_get("GREETING")
    .try_convert_to::<RString>()
    .unwrap();

assert_eq!(greeting.to_str(), "Hello, World!");

module Greeter
  GREETING = 'Hello, World!'
end

# or

Greeter = Module.new
Greeter.const_set('GREETING', 'Hello, World!')

pub fn wrap_data<T, O: Object>(     &self,     data: T,     wrapper: &DataTypeWrapper<T> ) -> O

Wraps Rust structure into a new Ruby object of the current module.

See the documentation for wrappable_struct! macro for more information.

Examples

Wrap Server structs to RubyServer objects. Note: Example shows use with class but the method still applies to module.

#[macro_use] extern crate rutie;
#[macro_use] extern crate lazy_static;

use rutie::{AnyObject, Class, Fixnum, Object, RString, VM};

// The structure which we want to wrap
pub struct Server {
    host: String,
    port: u16,
}

impl Server {
    fn new(host: String, port: u16) -> Self {
        Server {
            host: host,
            port: port,
        }
    }

    fn host(&self) -> &str {
        &self.host
    }

    fn port(&self) -> u16 {
        self.port
    }
}

wrappable_struct!(Server, ServerWrapper, SERVER_WRAPPER);

class!(RubyServer);

methods!(
    RubyServer,
    itself,

    fn ruby_server_new(host: RString, port: Fixnum) -> AnyObject {
        let server = Server::new(host.unwrap().to_string(),
                                 port.unwrap().to_i64() as u16);

        Class::from_existing("RubyServer").wrap_data(server, &*SERVER_WRAPPER)
    }

    fn ruby_server_host() -> RString {
        let host = itself.get_data(&*SERVER_WRAPPER).host();

        RString::new(host)
    }

    fn ruby_server_port() -> Fixnum {
        let port = itself.get_data(&*SERVER_WRAPPER).port();

        Fixnum::new(port as i64)
    }
);

fn main() {
    let data_class = Class::from_existing("Data");

    Class::new("RubyServer", None).define(|itself| {
        itself.def_self("new", ruby_server_new);

        itself.def("host", ruby_server_host);
        itself.def("port", ruby_server_port);
    });
}

To use the RubyServer class in Ruby:

server = RubyServer.new("127.0.0.1", 3000)

server.host == "127.0.0.1"
server.port == 3000
