module ActiveModel class MissingAttributeError < NoMethodError end module AttributeMethods extend ActiveSupport::Concern # Declare and check for suffixed attribute methods. module ClassMethods # Defines an "attribute" method (like +inheritance_column+ or # +table_name+). A new (class) method will be created with the # given name. If a value is specified, the new method will # return that value (as a string). Otherwise, the given block # will be used to compute the value of the method. # # The original method will be aliased, with the new name being # prefixed with "original_". This allows the new method to # access the original value. # # Example: # # class A < ActiveRecord::Base # define_attr_method :primary_key, "sysid" # define_attr_method( :inheritance_column ) do # original_inheritance_column + "_id" # end # end def define_attr_method(name, value=nil, &block) sing = metaclass sing.send :alias_method, "original_#{name}", name if block_given? sing.send :define_method, name, &block else # use eval instead of a block to work around a memory leak in dev # mode in fcgi sing.class_eval "def #{name}; #{value.to_s.inspect}; end" end end # Declares a method available for all attributes with the given prefix. # Uses +method_missing+ and respond_to? to rewrite the method. # # #{prefix}#{attr}(*args, &block) # # to # # #{prefix}attribute(#{attr}, *args, &block) # # An #{prefix}attribute instance method must exist and accept at least # the +attr+ argument. # # For example: # # class Person < ActiveRecord::Base # attribute_method_prefix 'clear_' # # private # def clear_attribute(attr) # ... # end # end # # person = Person.find(1) # person.name # => 'Gem' # person.clear_name # person.name # => '' def attribute_method_prefix(*prefixes) attribute_method_matchers.concat(prefixes.map { |prefix| AttributeMethodMatcher.new :prefix => prefix }) undefine_attribute_methods end # Declares a method available for all attributes with the given suffix. # Uses +method_missing+ and respond_to? to rewrite the method. # # #{attr}#{suffix}(*args, &block) # # to # # attribute#{suffix}(#{attr}, *args, &block) # # An attribute#{suffix} instance method must exist and accept at least # the +attr+ argument. # # For example: # # class Person < ActiveRecord::Base # attribute_method_suffix '_short?' # # private # def attribute_short?(attr) # ... # end # end # # person = Person.find(1) # person.name # => 'Gem' # person.name_short? # => true def attribute_method_suffix(*suffixes) attribute_method_matchers.concat(suffixes.map { |suffix| AttributeMethodMatcher.new :suffix => suffix }) undefine_attribute_methods end # Declares a method available for all attributes with the given prefix # and suffix.
