module ActionWebService
# To send structured types across the wire, derive from ActionWebService::Struct,
# and use +member+ to declare structure members.
#
# ActionWebService::Struct should be used in method signatures when you want to accept or return
# structured types that have no Active Record model class representations, or you don't
# want to expose your entire Active Record model to remote callers.
#
# === Example
#
# class Person < ActionWebService::Struct
# member :id, :int
# member :firstnames, [:string]
# member :lastname, :string
# member :email, :string
# end
# person = Person.new(:id => 5, :firstname => 'john', :lastname => 'doe')
#
# Active Record model classes are already implicitly supported in method
# signatures.
class Struct
# Action WebService Struct subclasses should be reloaded by the dispatcher in Rails
# when Dependencies.mechanism = :load.
include Reloadable::Deprecated
# If a Hash is given as argument to an ActionWebService::Struct constructor,
# it can contain initial values for the structure member.
def initialize(values={})
if values.is_a?(Hash)
values.map{|k,v| __send__('%s=' % k.to_s, v)}
end
end
# The member with the given name
def [](name)
send(name.to_s)
end
# Iterates through each member
def each_pair(&block)
self.class.members.each do |name, type|
yield name, self.__send__(name)
end
end
class << self
# Creates a structure member with the specified +name+ and +type+. Generates
# accessor methods for reading and writing the member value.
def member(name, type)
name = name.to_sym
type = ActionWebService::SignatureTypes.canonical_signature_entry({ name => type }, 0)
write_inheritable_hash("struct_members", name => type)
class_eval <<-END
def #{name}; @#{name}; end
def #{name}=(value); @#{name} = value; end
END
end
def members # :nodoc:
read_inheritable_attribute("struct_members") || {}
end
def member_type(name) # :nodoc:
members[name.to_sym]
end
end
end
