Class Method Details

.Array(arg) ⇒ Array

Coerces the argument to be an Array.

It's similar to Ruby's Kernel.Array, but it applies further transformations:

  • flatten

  • compact

  • uniq

Examples:

Basic Usage

require 'hanami/utils/kernel'

Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array(nil)              # => []
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array(true)             # => [true]
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array(false)            # => [false]
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array(1)                # => [1]
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array([1])              # => [1]
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array([1, [2]])         # => [1,2]
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array([1, [2, nil]])    # => [1,2]
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array([1, [2, nil, 1]]) # => [1,2]

Array Interface

require 'hanami/utils/kernel'

ResultSet = Struct.new(:records) do
  def to_a
    records.to_a.sort
  end
end

Response = Struct.new(:status, :headers, :body) do
  def to_ary
    [status, headers, body]
  end
end

set = ResultSet.new([2,1,3])
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array(set)              # => [1,2,3]

response = Response.new(200, {}, 'hello')
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Array(response)         # => [200, {}, "hello"]

Parameters:

  • arg (Object)

    the input

Returns:

  • (Array)

    the result of the coercion

Since:

  • 0.1.1

def self.Array(arg)
  super(arg).dup.tap do |a|
    a.flatten!

.Set(arg) ⇒ Set

Coerces the argument to be a Set.

Examples:

Basic Usage

require 'hanami/utils/kernel'

Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set(nil)              # => #<Set: {}>
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set(true)             # => #<Set: {true}>
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set(false)            # => #<Set: {false}>
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set(1)                # => #<Set: {1}>
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set([1])              # => #<Set: {1}>
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set([1, 1])           # => #<Set: {1}>
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set([1, [2]])         # => #<Set: {1, [2]}>
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set([1, [2, nil]])    # => #<Set: {1, [2, nil]}>
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set({a: 1})           # => #<Set: {[:a, 1]}>

Set Interface

require 'securerandom'
require 'hanami/utils/kernel'

UuidSet = Class.new do
  def initialize(*uuids)
    @uuids = uuids
  end

  def to_set
    Set.new.tap do |set|
      @uuids.each {|uuid| set.add(uuid) }
    end
  end
end

uuids = UuidSet.new(SecureRandom.uuid)
Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set(uuids)
  # => #<Set: {"daa798b4-630c-4e11-b29d-92f0b1c7d075"}>

Unchecked Exceptions

require 'hanami/utils/kernel'

Hanami::Utils::Kernel.Set(BasicObject.new) # => TypeError

Parameters:

  • arg (Object)

    the input

Returns:

  • (Set)

    the result of the coercion

Raises:

  • (TypeError)

    if arg doesn't implement #respond_to?

Since:

  • 0.1.1

def self.Set(arg)
  if arg.respond_to?(:to_set)
    arg.to_set
  else
    Set.new(::Kernel.Array(arg))
  end
rescue NoMethodError
  raise TypeError.new("can't convert #{inspect_type_error(arg)}into Set")
end

.String(arg) ⇒ String

Coerces the argument to be a String.

Identical behavior of Ruby's Kernel.Array, still here because we want to keep the interface consistent
