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:

Returns:

  • (Array)

    the result of the coercion

Since:

  • 0.1.1

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

Unchecked Exceptions

require 'hanami/utils/kernel'

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

Parameters:

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

Examples:
