Instance Method Summary

• #DelegateClass(superclass, &block) ⇒ Object

  The primary interface to this library.

• #ruby2_keywords ⇒ Object

  This library provides three different ways to delegate method calls to an object.

Instance Method Details

#DelegateClass(superclass, &block) ⇒ Object

The primary interface to this library. Use to setup delegation when defining your class.

class MyClass < DelegateClass(ClassToDelegateTo) # Step 1 def initialize super(obj_of_ClassToDelegateTo) # Step 2 end end

or:

MyClass = DelegateClass(ClassToDelegateTo) do # Step 1 def initialize super(obj_of_ClassToDelegateTo) # Step 2 end end

Here's a sample of use from Tempfile which is really a File object with a few special rules about storage location and when the File should be deleted. That makes for an almost textbook perfect example of how to use delegation.

class Tempfile < DelegateClass(File) # constant and class member data initialization...

def initialize(basename, tmpdir=Dir::tmpdir)
  # build up file path/name in var tmpname...

  @tmpfile = File.open(tmpname, File::RDWR|File::CREAT|File::EXCL, 0600)

  # ...

  super(@tmpfile)

  # below this point, all methods of File are supported...
end

# ...

end

#ruby2_keywords ⇒ Object

This library provides three different ways to delegate method calls to an object. The easiest to use is SimpleDelegator. Pass an object to the constructor and all methods supported by the object will be delegated. This object can be changed later.

Going a step further, the top level DelegateClass method allows you to easily setup delegation through class inheritance. This is considerably more flexible and thus probably the most common use for this library.

Finally, if you need full control over the delegation scheme, you can inherit from the abstract class Delegator and customize as needed. (If you find yourself needing this control, have a look at Forwardable which is also in the standard library. It may suit your needs better.)

SimpleDelegator's implementation serves as a nice example of the use of Delegator:

require 'delegate'

class SimpleDelegator < Delegator def getobj @delegate_sd_obj # return object we are delegating to, required end

def __setobj__(obj)
  @delegate_sd_obj = obj # change delegation object,
                         # a feature we're providing
end

end

== Notes

Be advised, RDoc will not detect delegated methods.
