Expand description

Functions available on both classes and modules.

Provided methods

Define a class in self’s scope.

Examples
use magnus::{class, define_module, Module};

let outer = define_module("Outer").unwrap();
let inner = outer.define_class("Inner", Default::default()).unwrap();
assert!(inner.is_kind_of(class::class()));

Define a module in self’s scope.

Examples
use magnus::{class, define_module, Module};

let outer = define_module("Outer").unwrap();
let inner = outer.define_module("Inner").unwrap();
assert!(inner.is_kind_of(class::module()));

Get the value for the constant name within self’s scope.

Examples
use magnus::{class, eval, Module, RClass, Value};

eval::<Value>("
    class Example
      VALUE = 42
    end
").unwrap();

let class = class::object().const_get::<_, RClass>("Example").unwrap();
assert_eq!(class.const_get::<_, i64>("VALUE").unwrap(), 42);

Returns whether or not self inherits from other.

Classes including a module are considered to inherit from that module.

Examples
use magnus::{eval, Module, RClass};

let a = RClass::new(Default::default()).unwrap();
let b = RClass::new(a).unwrap();
assert!(b.is_inherited(a));
assert!(!a.is_inherited(b));

Define a method in self’s scope.

Examples
use magnus::{class, eval, method, Module};

fn escape_unicode(s: String) -> String {
    s.escape_unicode().to_string()
}

class::string().define_method("escape_unicode", method!(escape_unicode, 0));

let res = eval::<bool>(r#""🤖\etest".escape_unicode == "\\u{1f916}\\u{1b}\\u{74}\\u{65}\\u{73}\\u{74}""#).unwrap();
assert!(res);

Define a private method in self’s scope.

Examples
use magnus::{class, eval, exception, function, Module, Value};

fn percent_encode(c: char) -> String {
    if c.is_ascii_alphanumeric() || c == '-' || c == '_' || c == '.' || c == '~' {
        String::from(c)
    } else {
        format!("%{:X}", c as u32)
    }
}

class::string().define_private_method("percent_encode_char", function!(percent_encode, 1));

eval::<Value>(r#"
    class String
      def percent_encode
        chars.map {|c| percent_encode_char(c)}.join("")
      end
    end
"#).unwrap();

let res = eval::<bool>(r#""foo bar".percent_encode == "foo%20bar""#).unwrap();
assert!(res);

assert!(eval::<bool>(r#"" ".percent_encode_char(" ")"#).unwrap_err().is_kind_of(exception::no_method_error()));

Define a protected method in self’s scope.

Examples
use magnus::{class, eval, exception, method, Module, Value};

fn escape_unicode(s: String) -> String {
    s.escape_unicode().to_string()
}

fn is_invisible(c: char) -> bool {
    c.is_control() || c.is_whitespace()
}

class::string().define_method("escape_unicode", method!(escape_unicode, 0));
class::string().define_protected_method("invisible?", method!(is_invisible, 0));

eval::<Value>(r#"
    class String
      def escape_invisible
        chars.map {|c| c.invisible? ? c.escape_unicode : c}.join("")
      end
    end
"#).unwrap();

let res: bool = eval!(r#"
    "🤖\tfoo bar".escape_invisible == "🤖\\u{9}foo\\u{20}bar"
"#).unwrap();
assert!(res);

assert!(eval::<bool>(r#"" ".invisible?"#).unwrap_err().is_kind_of(exception::no_method_error()));
