@note A few conventions for the documentation of this file:

1. Always use "//" (in contrast with "/**/")
2. The syntax used is Yardoc (yardoc.org), which is intended for Ruby (se below)
3. @param and @return types should be preceded by JS. when referring to JavaScript constructors (e.g. JS.Function) otherwise Ruby is assumed.
4. nil and null being unambiguous refer to the respective objects/values in Ruby and JavaScript
5. This is still WIP :) so please give feedback and suggestions on how to improve or for alternative solutions

The way the code is digested before going through Yardoc is a secret kept in the docs repo (https://github.com/opal/docs/tree/master).

Opal.config =

Configure runtime behavior with regards to require and unsupported features

Opal.config = {

$has_own = Object.hasOwnProperty

Minify common function calls

var $has_own   = Object.hasOwnProperty;

• @ConradIrwin's 2012 post on “Everything you ever wanted to know about constant lookup in Ruby” (http://cirw.in/blog/constant-lookup.html)

Legend of MRI concepts/names:

• constant reference (cref): the module/class that acts as a namespace
• nesting: the namespaces wrapping the current scope, e.g. nesting inside module A; module B::C; end; end is [B::C, A]

function const_get_name(cref, name)

Get the constant in the scope of the current cref

function const_get_name(cref, name) {
  if (cref) {
    if (cref.$$const[name] != null) { return cref.$$const[name]; }
    if (cref.$$autoload && cref.$$autoload[name]) {
      return handle_autoload(cref, name);
    }
  }
}

function const_lookup_nesting(nesting, name)

Walk up the nesting array looking for the constant

function const_lookup_nesting(nesting, name) {
  var i, ii, constant;

  if (nesting.length === 0) return;

  // If the nesting is not empty the constant is looked up in its elements
  // and in order. The ancestors of those elements are ignored.

      return handle_autoload(nesting[i], name);
    }
  }
}

function const_lookup_ancestors(cref, name)

Walk up the ancestors chain looking for the constant

function const_lookup_ancestors(cref, name) {
  var i, ii, ancestors;

  if (cref == null) return;

  ancestors = Opal.ancestors(cref);

  for (i = 0, ii = ancestors.length; i < ii; i++) {
    if (ancestors[i].$$const && $has_own.call(ancestors[i].$$const, name)) {
      return ancestors[i].$$const[name];
    } else if (ancestors[i].$$autoload && ancestors[i].$$autoload[name]) {
      return handle_autoload(ancestors[i], name);
    }
  }
}

function const_lookup_Object(cref, name)

Walk up Object's ancestors chain looking for the constant, but only if cref is missing or a module.

function const_lookup_Object(cref, name) {
  if (cref == null || cref.$$is_module) {
    return const_lookup_ancestors(_Object, name);
  }
}

function const_missing(cref, name, skip_missing)

Call const_missing if nothing else worked

function const_missing(cref, name, skip_missing) {
  if (!skip_missing) {
    return (cref || _Object).$const_missing(name);
  }
}

Opal.const_get_local = function(cref, name, skip_missing)

Look for the constant just in the current cref or call #const_missing

Opal.const_get_local = function(cref, name, skip_missing) {
  var result;

  if (cref == null) return;

  if (cref === '::') cref = _Object;

  if (!cref.$$is_module && !cref.$$is_class) {

  result = const_missing(cref, name, skip_missing); if (result != null) return result;
};

Opal.const_get_qualified = function(cref, name, skip_missing)

Look for the constant relative to a cref or call #const_missing (when the constant is prefixed by ::).

Opal.const_get_qualified = function(cref, name, skip_missing) {

  return result != null ? result : const_missing(cref, name, skip_missing);
};

Opal.const_cache_version = 1

Initialize the top level constant cache generation counter

Opal.const_cache_version = 1;

Opal.const_get_relative = function(nesting, name, skip_missing)

Look for the constant in the open using the current nesting and the nearest cref ancestors or call #const_missing (when the constant has no :: prefix).

Opal.const_set = function(cref, name, value)

Register the constant on a cref and opportunistically set the name of unnamed classes/modules.

Opal.const_set = function(cref, name, value) {

  // Add a short helper to navigate constants manually.
  // @example
  //   Opal.$$.Regexp.$$.IGNORECASE
  cref.$$ = cref.$$const;

  Opal.const_cache_version++;

  // Expose top level constants onto the Opal object
  if (cref === _Object) Opal[name] = value;

  // Name new class directly onto current scope (Opal.Foo.Baz = klass)
  $defineProperty(cref, name, value);

  return value;
};

Opal.constants = function(cref, inherit)

Get all the constants reachable from a given cref, by default will include inherited constants.

Opal.constants = function(cref, inherit) {

Modules & Classes

Opal.allocate_class = function(name, superclass)

A class Foo; end expression in ruby is compiled to call this runtime method which either returns an existing class of the given name, or creates a new class in the given base scope.

If a constant with the given name exists, then we check to make sure that it is a class and also that the superclasses match. If either of these fail, then we raise a TypeError. Note, superclass may be null if one was not specified in the ruby code.

We pass a constructor to this method of the form function ClassName() {} simply so that classes show up with nicely formatted names inside debuggers in the web browser (or node/sprockets).

The scope is the current self value where the class is being created from. We use this to get the scope for where the class should be created. If scope is an object (not a class/module), we simple get its class and use that as the scope instead.

@param scope [Object] where the class is being created @param superclass [Class,null] superclass of the new class (may be null) @param id [String] the name of the class to be created @param constructor [JS.Function] function to use as constructor

Opal.allocate_module = function(name)

Define new module (or return existing module). The given scope is basically the current self value the module statement was defined in. If this is a ruby module or class, then it is used, otherwise if the scope is a ruby object then that objects real ruby class is used (e.g. if the scope is the main object, then the top level Object class is used as the scope).

If a module of the given name is already defined in the scope, then that instance is just returned.

If there is a class of the given name in the scope, then an error is generated instead (cannot have a class and module of same name in same scope).

Otherwise, a new module is created in the scope with the given name, and that new instance is returned back (to be referenced at runtime).

Opal.get_singleton_class = function(object)

Return the singleton class for the passed object.

If the given object alredy has a singleton class, then it will be stored on the object as the $$meta property. If this exists, then it is simply returned back.

Otherwise, a new singleton object for the class or object is created, set on the object at $$meta for future use, and then returned.

Opal.append_features = function(module, includer)

The actual inclusion of a module into a class.

Class $$parent and iclass

To handle super calls, every class has a $$parent. This parent is used to resolve the next class for a super call. A normal class would have this point to its superclass. However, if a class includes a module then this would need to take into account the module. The module would also have to then point its $$parent to the actual superclass. We cannot modify modules like this, because it might be included in more then one class. To fix this, we actually insert an iclass as the class' $$parent which can then point to the superclass. The iclass acts as a proxy to the actual module, so the super chain can then search it for the required method.

Opal.bridge = function(native_klass, klass)

For performance, some core Ruby classes are toll-free bridged to their native JavaScript counterparts (e.g. a Ruby Array is a JavaScript Array).

This method is used to setup a native constructor (e.g. Array), to have its prototype act like a normal Ruby class. Firstly, a new Ruby class is created using the native constructor so that its prototype is set as the target for the new class. Note: all bridged classes are set to inherit from Object.

Example:

Opal.bridge(self, Function);

@param klass [Class] the Ruby class to bridge @param constructor [JS.Function] native JavaScript constructor to use @return [Class] returns the passed Ruby class

Opal.bridge = function(native_klass, klass) {
  if (native_klass.hasOwnProperty('$$bridge')) {
    throw Opal.ArgumentError.$new("already bridged");
  }

  // constructor is a JS function with a prototype chain like:
  // - constructor
  //   - super
  //
  // What we need to do is to inject our class (with its prototype chain)
  // between constructor and super. For example, after injecting ::Object
  // into JS String we get:
  //
  // - constructor (window.String)
  //   - Opal.Object
  //     - Opal.Kernel
  //       - Opal.BasicObject
  //         - super (window.Object)
  //           - null

Method Missing

Opal.add_stubs = function(stubs)

Methods stubs are used to facilitate method_missing in opal. A stub is a placeholder function which just calls method_missing on the receiver. If no method with the given name is actually defined on an object, then it is obvious to say that the stub will be called instead, and then in turn method_missing will be called.

When a file in ruby gets compiled to javascript, it includes a call to this function which adds stubs for every method name in the compiled file. It should then be safe to assume that method_missing will work for any method call detected.

Method stubs are added to the BasicObject prototype, which every other ruby object inherits, so all objects should handle method missing. A stub is only added if the given property name (method name) is not already defined.

Note: all ruby methods have a $ prefix in javascript, so all stubs will have this prefix as well (to make this method more performant).

Opal.add_stubs(["$foo", "$bar", "$baz="]);

All stub functions will have a private $$stub property set to true so that other internal methods can detect if a method is just a stub or not. Kernel#respond_to? uses this property to detect a methods presence.

@param stubs [Array] an array of method stubs to add @return [undefined]

Opal.add_stubs = function(stubs) {
  var proto = Opal.BasicObject.$$prototype;
  var stub, existing_method;

  for (var i = 0, length = stubs.length; i < length; i++) {

Opal.add_stub_for = function(prototype, stub) {
  // Opal.stub_for(stub) is the method_missing_stub
  $defineProperty(prototype, stub, Opal.stub_for(stub));
};

Opal.stub_for = function(method_name)

Generate the method_missing stub for a given method name.

@param method_name [String] The js-name of the method to stub (e.g. "$foo") @return [undefined]

Opal.stub_for = function(method_name) {

  function method_missing_stub() {
    // Copy any given block onto the method_missing dispatcher

Opal.send = function(recv, method, args, block)

Calls passed method on a ruby object with arguments and block:

Can take a method or a method name.

1. When method name gets passed it invokes it by its name and calls 'method_missing' when object doesn't have this method. Used internally by Opal to invoke method that takes a block or a splat.
2. When method (i.e. method body) gets passed, it doesn't trigger 'method_missing' because it doesn't know the name of the actual method. Used internally by Opal to invoke 'super'.

@example var my_array = [1, 2, 3, 4] Opal.send(my_array, 'length') # => 4 Opal.send(my_array, my_array.$length) # => 4

Opal.def = function(obj, jsid, body)

Used to define methods on an object. This is a helper method, used by the compiled source to define methods on special case objects when the compiler can not determine the destination object, or the object is a Module instance. This can get called by Module#define_method as well.

Modules

Any method defined on a module will come through this runtime helper. The method is added to the module body, and the owner of the method is set to be the module itself. This is used later when choosing which method should show on a class if more than 1 included modules define the same method. Finally, if the module is in module_function mode, then the method is also defined onto the module itself.

Classes

This helper will only be called for classes when a method is being defined indirectly; either through Module#define_method, or by a literal def method inside an instance_eval or class_eval body. In either case, the method is simply added to the class' prototype. A special exception exists for BasicObject and Object. These two classes are special because they are used in toll-free bridged classes. In each of these two cases, extra work is required to define the methods on toll-free bridged class' prototypes as well.

Objects

If a simple ruby object is the object, then the method is simply just defined on the object as a singleton method. This would be the case when a method is defined inside an instance_eval block.

@param obj [Object, Class] the actual obj to define method for @param jsid [String] the JavaScript friendly method name (e.g. '$foo') @param body [JS.Function] the literal JavaScript function used as method @return [null]

};

if (typeof obj.$$prototype === 'undefined')

Aliasing on main means aliasing on Object...

if (typeof obj.$$prototype === 'undefined') {

if (obj.$$eval)

When running inside #instance_eval the alias refers to class methods.

if (obj.$$eval) {

body = Opal.Object.$$prototype[old_id]

try to look into Object

body = Opal.Object.$$prototype[old_id]

if (body.$$alias_of) body = body.$$alias_of

If the body is itself an alias use the original body to keep the max depth at 1.

if (body.$$alias_of) body = body.$$alias_of;

alias = function()

We need a wrapper because otherwise properties would be overwritten on the original body.

alias = function() {
  var block = alias.$$p, args, i, ii;

  args = new Array(arguments.length);
  for(i = 0, ii = arguments.length; i < ii; i++) {
    args[i] = arguments[i];
  }

  if (block != null) { alias.$$p = null }

  return Opal.send(this, body, args, block);
};

try

Assign the 'length' value with defineProperty because in strict mode the property is not writable. It doesn't work in older browsers (like Chrome 38), where an exception is thrown breaking Opal altogether.

try {

alias.displayName = name

Try to make the browser pick the right name

alias.displayName       = name;

Hashes

Opal.hash2 = function(keys, smap)

A faster Hash creator for hashes that just use symbols and strings as keys. The map and keys array can be constructed at compile time, so they are just added here by the constructor function.

Opal.hash2 = function(keys, smap) {
  var hash = new Opal.Hash();

  hash.$$smap = smap;
  hash.$$map  = Object.create(null);

Opal.range = function(first, last, exc)

Create a new range instance with first and last values, and whether the range excludes the last value.

      range.begin   = first;
      range.end     = last;

Opal.ivar = function(name)

Get the ivar name for a given name. Mostly adds a trailing $ to reserved names.

Opal.ivar = function(name) {
  if (
      // properties
      name === "constructor" ||
      name === "displayName" ||
      name === "__count__" ||

Strings

Opal.set_encoding = function(str, name, type)

Sets the encoding on a string, will treat string literals as frozen strings raising a FrozenError.

@param str [String] the string on which the encoding should be set @param name [String] the canonical name of the encoding @param type [String] possible values are either "encoding", "internal_encoding", or `undefined
