92
+ <h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
93
+
94
+ <p>This Gem provides several support classes and modules for
95
+ <a href="https://github.com/jdickey/repository-base"><code>Repository::Base</code></a> and its
96
+ user-created subclasses, which implement the Repository layer of a typical Data
97
+ Mapper pattern architecture.</p>
98
+
99
+ <p>These classes and modules are:</p>
100
+
101
+ <ul>
102
+ <li><code>ErrorFactory</code> provides a single class method, <code>.create</code> which, when supplied with an <code>ActiveModel::Errors</code>-quacking object as a parameter, produces an Array of Hashes containing JSON-compatible error information;</li>
103
+ <li><code>ResultBuilder</code> is a Command-pattern class whose <code>#initialize</code> method takes one parameter and whose <code>#build</code> method evaluates that value. If it is truthy, then <code>#build</code> returns a <code>StoreResult::Success</code> (see below) with that value as its “paylaaod”. If the value is falsy, then <code>#build</code> returns a <code>StoreResult#Failure</code>, yielding the value to a block that returns the payload for the <code>StoreResult</code>.</li>
104
+ <li><code>StoreResult</code> is a simple value object with three accessors for values passed in to the <code>#initialize</code> method: namely <code>#entity</code> (some value object); <code>#success</code> (a Boolean, aliased as <code>#success?</code>); and <code>#errors</code> an Array of error records as created by <code>ErrorFactory.create</code>. It has two subclasses: <code>StoreResult::Success</code> fills in a <code>StoreResult</code> using its single parameter (the entity) and defaults for the other fields; and <code>StoreResult::Failure</code>, which does likewise initialised with an array of error hashes.</li>
105
+ <li><code>TestAttributeContainer</code> is a module that, when used to extend a class, adds an <code>attributes</code> Hash property (reader and writer) to the extending class. While <code>attributes</code> is initially empty, it may be added to either by defining a single key, or by mass-assigning a Hash to <code>attributes</code>. Once an individual “attribute” is defined for a class instance, it can be read from or written to using a direct method on that instance. See the discussion in “Usage” below for more details.</li>
106
+ </ul>
107
+
108
+ <h2 id="important-legacy-notice">IMPORTANT LEGACY NOTICE</h2>
109
+
110
+ <p><strong><em>NOTICE!</em></strong> This Gem was created to support a solo, ad-hoc, early learning experience in what is now known as Clean Architecture. It was part of our first attempt to build an alternative to the ActiveRecord/ActiveModel scheme native to Ruby on Rails.</p>
111
+
112
+ <p>As such, it has been superseded and far outshone by other, team efforts, notably <a href="http://rom-rb.org/">ROM</a> as used with <a href="http://hanamirb.org/">Hanami</a> and <a href="http://trailblazer.to/">Trailblazer</a>. You are <em>strongly advised</em> to examine these and other tools rather than to use this for <em>any</em> new development. The Gem is being republished as an 0.1.0 release purely for internal archaeologigical purposes.</p>
113
+
114
+ <h2 id="installation">Installation</h2>
115
+
116
+ <p>Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:</p>
117
+
118
+ <p><code>ruby
119
+ gem 'repository-support'
120
+ </code></p>
121
+
122
+ <p>And then execute:</p>
123
+
124
+ <pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby">$ bundle
125
+ </code></pre>
126
+
127
+ <p>Or install it yourself as:</p>
128
+
129
+ <pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby">$ gem install repository-support
130
+ </code></pre>
131
+
132
+ <h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
133
+
134
+ <h3 id="storeresult"><code>StoreResult</code></h3>
135
+
136
+ <p><code>StoreReult</code> is used as the return value from all <code>Repository::Base</code> instance
137
+ methods (actions) <em>except</em> <code>#all</code>.</p>
138
+
139
+ <p>If the action implemented by the method was successful, it returns a
140
+ <code>StoreResult</code> where</p>
141
+
142
+ <ul>
143
+ <li>the <code>entity</code> attribute is an entity matching the state of the record persisted or accessed by the action;</li>
144
+ <li>the <code>success</code> attribute (or <code>#success?</code> method) is <code>true</code>; and</li>
145
+ <li>the <code>errors</code> attribute is an empty Array.</li>
146
+ </ul>
147
+
148
+ <p>If the action was unsuccessful, the repository method returns a <code>StoreResult</code>
149
+ where</p>
150
+
151
+ <ul>
152
+ <li>the <code>entity</code> attribute is <code>nil</code>;</li>
153
+ <li>the <code>success</code> attribute (or <code>#success?</code> method) is <code>false</code>; and</li>
154
+ <li>the <code>errors</code> attribute contains one error Hash for each error preventing the action from succeeding.</li>
155
+ </ul>
156
+
157
+ <h4 id="storeresultsuccess"><code>StoreResult::Success</code></h4>
158
+
159
+ <p>This subclass of <code>StoreResult</code> is a convenience for initialising a successful
160
+ <code>StoreResult</code>. Its <code>#initialize</code> method takes a single parameter, the entity to
161
+ be used in the result, with the other fields set as described above for a
162
+ successful result.</p>
163
+
164
+ <h4 id="storeresultfailure"><code>StoreResult::Failure</code></h4>
165
+
166
+ <p>This subclass of <code>StoreResult</code> is a convenience for initialising an unsuccessful
167
+ <code>StoreResult</code>. Its <code>#initialize</code> method takes a single parameter, the Array of
168
+ error hashes to be used in the result, with the other fields set as described
169
+ above for an unsuccessful result.</p>
170
+
171
+ <h3 id="errorfactory"><code>ErrorFactory</code></h3>
172
+
173
+ <p>This class has a single class method, <code>.create</code>. Given a parameter value that
174
+ quacks as an<a href="http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Errors.html"><code>ActiveModel::Errors</code></a>
175
+ instance, it returns an Array where each item is a Hash derived from each error
176
+ reported by the parameter object, or an empty Array if there are no errors. Each
177
+ Hash in the Array has two fields:</p>
178
+
179
+ <ol>
180
+ <li><code>field</code>, which contains the attribute passed to <a href="http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Errors.html#method-i-add"><code>ActiveModel::Errors#add</code></a> <em>as a string</em>; and</li>
181
+ <li><code>message</code>, which contains the message as passed into the same <code>#add</code> call.</li>
182
+ </ol>
183
+
184
+ <p>So, given an <code>ActiveModel::Errors</code> object that resulted from the following code:</p>
185
+
186
+ <p><code>ruby
187
+ errors = ActiveModel::Errors.new self
188
+ # ...
189
+ errors.add :frobulator, 'does not frob'
190
+ errors.add :frobulator, `is busted'
191
+ errors.add :foo, 'is :foo'
192
+ # ...
193
+ error_data = ErrorFactory.create errors
194
+ @logger.log error_data
195
+ </code></p>
196
+
197
+ <p>the value of <code>error_data</code> written to the log would be (formatted for clarity)</p>
198
+
199
+ <p><code>
200
+ [
201
+ {field: 'frobulator', message: 'does not frob'},
202
+ {field: 'frobulator', message: 'is busted'},
203
+ {field: 'foo', 'is :foo'}
204
+ ]
205
+ </code></p>
206
+
207
+ <p>Note that no guarantees are made for ordering, just as seems to be the case for
208
+ <code>ActiveModel::Errors</code>.</p>
209
+
210
+ <h3 id="testattributecontainer"><code>TestAttributeContainer</code></h3>
211
+
212
+ <p>This module implements support for attributes in a way that can be thought of as “halfway between a <a href="http://ruby-doc.org//core-2.1.5/Struct.html"><code>Struct</code></a> and an <a href="http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.1.5/libdoc/ostruct/rdoc/OpenStruct.html"><code>OpenStruct</code></a> or <a href="https://github.com/tomchapin/fancy-open-struct/"><code>FancyOpenStruct</code></a>.”</p>
213
+
214
+ <p>By extending a class with the module and invoking the <code>init_empty_attribute_container</code> class method within that class, a Hash is added as the <code>attributes</code> attribute of each instance of that class. It can be assigned to directly; once having done so, individual “attributes” may be accessed <em>or modified</em> through a method call using the name of the attribute.</p>
215
+
216
+ <p>For example:</p>
217
+
218
+ <p>```ruby
219
+ class Foo
220
+ extend Repository::Support::TestAttributeContainer</p>
221
+
222
+ <p>init_empty_attribute_container
223
+ end</p>
224
+
225
+ <h1 id="interactively">interactively</h1>
226
+ <p>foo = Foo.new
227
+ # =&gt; #<Foo:0x007fd2b4b9da28>
228
+ foo.attributes
229
+ # =&gt; {}
230
+ foo.attributes = { foo: true, bar: 42 }
231
+ # =&gt; :bar=&gt;42
232
+ foo.foo
233
+ # =&gt; true
234
+ foo.foo = :whatever_you_want
235
+ # =&gt; :whatever_you_want
236
+ foo.attributes
237
+ # =&gt; :bar=&gt;42
238
+ foo.quux
239
+ # =&gt; NoMethodError: undefined method `quux' # ...
240
+ foo.attributes[:quux] = 'hello'
241
+ # =&gt; "hello"
242
+ foo.quux
243
+ # =&gt; "hello"
244
+ ```</Foo:0x007fd2b4b9da28></p>
245
+
246
+ <p>To create a new attribute after the container has been set up, assign to a new key in the <code>attributes</code> property Hash. As demonstrated above, the “attribute” can then be accessed or modified by using its name as a reader or writer method name. Without explicitly assigning to <code>attributes</code>, however, undefined methods raise errors as usual.</p>
247
+
248
+ <h3 id="a-note-on-parameters">A Note on Parameters</h3>
249
+
250
+ <p>All <em>public</em> methods having multiple arguments (including <code>#initialize</code>) in each
251
+ of the classes defined above use the keyword-argument specification introduced
252
+ in Ruby 2.0. By removing order dependency of arguments, inadvertent-reordering
253
+ errors are no longer a
254
+ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_the_Wumpus">hunt-the-typo</a>
255
+ exercise. This rule <em>does not</em> apply to single-parameter methods, nor to
256
+ <code>private</code> methods.</p>
257

260
+ <ol>
261
+ <li>Fork it ( https://github.com/jdickey/repository-support/fork )</li>
262
+ <li>Create your feature branch (<code>git checkout -b my-new-feature</code>)</li>
263
+ <li>Ensure that your changes are completely covered by <em>passing</em> specs, and comply with the <a href="https://github.com/bbatsov/ruby-style-guide">Ruby Style Guide</a> as enforced by <a href="https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop">RuboCop</a>. To verify this, run <code>bundle exec rake</code>, noting and repairing any lapses in coverage or style violations;</li>
264
+ <li>Commit your changes (<code>git commit -a</code>). Please <em>do not</em> use a single-line commit message (<code>git commit -am "some message"</code>). A good commit message notes what was changed and why in sufficient detail that a relative newcomer to the code can understand your reasoning and your code;</li>
265
+ <li>Push to the branch (<code>git push origin my-new-feature</code>)</li>
266
+ <li>Create a new Pull Request. Describe at some length the rationale for your new feature; your implementation strategy at a higher level than each individual commit message; anything future maintainers should be aware of; and so on. <em>If this is a modification to existing code, reference the open issue being addressed</em>.</li>
267
+ <li>Don’t be discouraged if the PR generates a discussion that leads to further refinement of your PR through additional commits. These should <em>generally</em> be discussed in comments on the PR itself; discussion in the Gitter room (see below) may also be useful;</li>
268
+ <li>If you’ve comments, questions, or just want to talk through your ideas, don’t hesitate to hang out in the <code>Repository::Base</code> <a href="https://gitter.im/jdickey/repository-base">room on Gitter</a>. Ask away!</li>

+ <h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
93
+
94
+ <p>This Gem provides several support classes and modules for
95
+ <a href="https://github.com/jdickey/repository-base"><code>Repository::Base</code></a> and its
96
+ user-created subclasses, which implement the Repository layer of a typical Data
97
+ Mapper pattern architecture.</p>
98
+
99
+ <p>These classes and modules are:</p>
100
+
101
+ <ul>
102
+ <li><code>ErrorFactory</code> provides a single class method, <code>.create</code> which, when supplied with an <code>ActiveModel::Errors</code>-quacking object as a parameter, produces an Array of Hashes containing JSON-compatible error information;</li>
103
+ <li><code>ResultBuilder</code> is a Command-pattern class whose <code>#initialize</code> method takes one parameter and whose <code>#build</code> method evaluates that value. If it is truthy, then <code>#build</code> returns a <code>StoreResult::Success</code> (see below) with that value as its “paylaaod”. If the value is falsy, then <code>#build</code> returns a <code>StoreResult#Failure</code>, yielding the value to a block that returns the payload for the <code>StoreResult</code>.</li>
104
+ <li><code>StoreResult</code> is a simple value object with three accessors for values passed in to the <code>#initialize</code> method: namely <code>#entity</code> (some value object); <code>#success</code> (a Boolean, aliased as <code>#success?</code>); and <code>#errors</code> an Array of error records as created by <code>ErrorFactory.create</code>. It has two subclasses: <code>StoreResult::Success</code> fills in a <code>StoreResult</code> using its single parameter (the entity) and defaults for the other fields; and <code>StoreResult::Failure</code>, which does likewise initialised with an array of error hashes.</li>
105
+ <li><code>TestAttributeContainer</code> is a module that, when used to extend a class, adds an <code>attributes</code> Hash property (reader and writer) to the extending class. While <code>attributes</code> is initially empty, it may be added to either by defining a single key, or by mass-assigning a Hash to <code>attributes</code>. Once an individual “attribute” is defined for a class instance, it can be read from or written to using a direct method on that instance. See the discussion in “Usage” below for more details.</li>
106
+ </ul>
107
+
108
+ <h2 id="important-legacy-notice">IMPORTANT LEGACY NOTICE</h2>
109
+
110
+ <p><strong><em>NOTICE!</em></strong> This Gem was created to support a solo, ad-hoc, early learning experience in what is now known as Clean Architecture. It was part of our first attempt to build an alternative to the ActiveRecord/ActiveModel scheme native to Ruby on Rails.</p>
111
+
112
+ <p>As such, it has been superseded and far outshone by other, team efforts, notably <a href="http://rom-rb.org/">ROM</a> as used with <a href="http://hanamirb.org/">Hanami</a> and <a href="http://trailblazer.to/">Trailblazer</a>. You are <em>strongly advised</em> to examine these and other tools rather than to use this for <em>any</em> new development. The Gem is being republished as an 0.1.0 release purely for internal archaeologigical purposes.</p>
113
+
114
+ <h2 id="installation">Installation</h2>
115
+
116
+ <p>Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:</p>
117
+
118
+ <p><code>ruby
119
+ gem 'repository-support'
120
+ </code></p>
121
+
122
+ <p>And then execute:</p>
123
+
124
+ <pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby">$ bundle
125
+ </code></pre>
126
+
127
+ <p>Or install it yourself as:</p>
128
+
129
+ <pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby">$ gem install repository-support
130
+ </code></pre>
131
+
132
+ <h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
133
+
134
+ <h3 id="storeresult"><code>StoreResult</code></h3>
135
+
136
+ <p><code>StoreReult</code> is used as the return value from all <code>Repository::Base</code> instance
137
+ methods (actions) <em>except</em> <code>#all</code>.</p>
138
+
139
+ <p>If the action implemented by the method was successful, it returns a
140
+ <code>StoreResult</code> where</p>
141
+
142
+ <ul>
143
+ <li>the <code>entity</code> attribute is an entity matching the state of the record persisted or accessed by the action;</li>
144
+ <li>the <code>success</code> attribute (or <code>#success?</code> method) is <code>true</code>; and</li>
145
+ <li>the <code>errors</code> attribute is an empty Array.</li>
146
+ </ul>
147
+
148
+ <p>If the action was unsuccessful, the repository method returns a <code>StoreResult</code>
149
+ where</p>
150
+
151
+ <ul>
152
+ <li>the <code>entity</code> attribute is <code>nil</code>;</li>
153
+ <li>the <code>success</code> attribute (or <code>#success?</code> method) is <code>false</code>; and</li>
154
+ <li>the <code>errors</code> attribute contains one error Hash for each error preventing the action from succeeding.</li>
155
+ </ul>
156
+
157
+ <h4 id="storeresultsuccess"><code>StoreResult::Success</code></h4>
158
+
159
+ <p>This subclass of <code>StoreResult</code> is a convenience for initialising a successful
160
+ <code>StoreResult</code>. Its <code>#initialize</code> method takes a single parameter, the entity to
161
+ be used in the result, with the other fields set as described above for a
162
+ successful result.</p>
163
+
164
+ <h4 id="storeresultfailure"><code>StoreResult::Failure</code></h4>
165
+
166
+ <p>This subclass of <code>StoreResult</code> is a convenience for initialising an unsuccessful
167
+ <code>StoreResult</code>. Its <code>#initialize</code> method takes a single parameter, the Array of
168
+ error hashes to be used in the result, with the other fields set as described
169
+ above for an unsuccessful result.</p>
170
+
171
+ <h3 id="errorfactory"><code>ErrorFactory</code></h3>
172
+
173
+ <p>This class has a single class method, <code>.create</code>. Given a parameter value that
174
+ quacks as an<a href="http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Errors.html"><code>ActiveModel::Errors</code></a>
175
+ instance, it returns an Array where each item is a Hash derived from each error
176
+ reported by the parameter object, or an empty Array if there are no errors. Each
177
+ Hash in the Array has two fields:</p>
178
+
179
+ <ol>
180
+ <li><code>field</code>, which contains the attribute passed to <a href="http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Errors.html#method-i-add"><code>ActiveModel::Errors#add</code></a> <em>as a string</em>; and</li>
181
+ <li><code>message</code>, which contains the message as passed into the same <code>#add</code> call.</li>
182
+ </ol>
183
+
184
+ <p>So, given an <code>ActiveModel::Errors</code> object that resulted from the following code:</p>
185
+
186
+ <p><code>ruby
187
+ errors = ActiveModel::Errors.new self
188
+ # ...
189
+ errors.add :frobulator, 'does not frob'
190
+ errors.add :frobulator, `is busted'
191
+ errors.add :foo, 'is :foo'
192
+ # ...
193
+ error_data = ErrorFactory.create errors
194
+ @logger.log error_data
195
+ </code></p>
196
+
197
+ <p>the value of <code>error_data</code> written to the log would be (formatted for clarity)</p>
198
+
199
+ <p><code>
200
+ [
201
+ {field: 'frobulator', message: 'does not frob'},
202
+ {field: 'frobulator', message: 'is busted'},
203
+ {field: 'foo', 'is :foo'}
204
+ ]
205
+ </code></p>
206
+
207
+ <p>Note that no guarantees are made for ordering, just as seems to be the case for
208
+ <code>ActiveModel::Errors</code>.</p>
209
+
210
+ <h3 id="testattributecontainer"><code>TestAttributeContainer</code></h3>
211
+
212
+ <p>This module implements support for attributes in a way that can be thought of as “halfway between a <a href="http://ruby-doc.org//core-2.1.5/Struct.html"><code>Struct</code></a> and an <a href="http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.1.5/libdoc/ostruct/rdoc/OpenStruct.html"><code>OpenStruct</code></a> or <a href="https://github.com/tomchapin/fancy-open-struct/"><code>FancyOpenStruct</code></a>.”</p>
213
+
214
+ <p>By extending a class with the module and invoking the <code>init_empty_attribute_container</code> class method within that class, a Hash is added as the <code>attributes</code> attribute of each instance of that class. It can be assigned to directly; once having done so, individual “attributes” may be accessed <em>or modified</em> through a method call using the name of the attribute.</p>
215
+
216
+ <p>For example:</p>
217
+
218
+ <p>```ruby
219
+ class Foo
220
+ extend Repository::Support::TestAttributeContainer</p>
221
+
222
+ <p>init_empty_attribute_container
223
+ end</p>
224
+
225
+ <h1 id="interactively">interactively</h1>
226
+ <p>foo = Foo.new
227
+ # =&gt; #<Foo:0x007fd2b4b9da28>
228
+ foo.attributes
229
+ # =&gt; {}
230
+ foo.attributes = { foo: true, bar: 42 }
231
+ # =&gt; :bar=&gt;42
232
+ foo.foo
233
+ # =&gt; true
234
+ foo.foo = :whatever_you_want
235
+ # =&gt; :whatever_you_want
236
+ foo.attributes
237
+ # =&gt; :bar=&gt;42
238
+ foo.quux
239
+ # =&gt; NoMethodError: undefined method `quux' # ...
240
+ foo.attributes[:quux] = 'hello'
241
+ # =&gt; "hello"
242
+ foo.quux
243
+ # =&gt; "hello"
244
+ ```</Foo:0x007fd2b4b9da28></p>
245
+
246
+ <p>To create a new attribute after the container has been set up, assign to a new key in the <code>attributes</code> property Hash. As demonstrated above, the “attribute” can then be accessed or modified by using its name as a reader or writer method name. Without explicitly assigning to <code>attributes</code>, however, undefined methods raise errors as usual.</p>
247
+
248
+ <h3 id="a-note-on-parameters">A Note on Parameters</h3>
249
+
250
+ <p>All <em>public</em> methods having multiple arguments (including <code>#initialize</code>) in each
251
+ of the classes defined above use the keyword-argument specification introduced
252
+ in Ruby 2.0. By removing order dependency of arguments, inadvertent-reordering
253
+ errors are no longer a
254
+ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_the_Wumpus">hunt-the-typo</a>
255
+ exercise. This rule <em>does not</em> apply to single-parameter methods, nor to
256
+ <code>private</code> methods.</p>

260
+ <ol>
261
+ <li>Fork it ( https://github.com/jdickey/repository-support/fork )</li>
262
+ <li>Create your feature branch (<code>git checkout -b my-new-feature</code>)</li>
263
+ <li>Ensure that your changes are completely covered by <em>passing</em> specs, and comply with the <a href="https://github.com/bbatsov/ruby-style-guide">Ruby Style Guide</a> as enforced by <a href="https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop">RuboCop</a>. To verify this, run <code>bundle exec rake</code>, noting and repairing any lapses in coverage or style violations;</li>
264
+ <li>Commit your changes (<code>git commit -a</code>). Please <em>do not</em> use a single-line commit message (<code>git commit -am "some message"</code>). A good commit message notes what was changed and why in sufficient detail that a relative newcomer to the code can understand your reasoning and your code;</li>
265
+ <li>Push to the branch (<code>git push origin my-new-feature</code>)</li>
266
+ <li>Create a new Pull Request. Describe at some length the rationale for your new feature; your implementation strategy at a higher level than each individual commit message; anything future maintainers should be aware of; and so on. <em>If this is a modification to existing code, reference the open issue being addressed</em>.</li>
267
+ <li>Don’t be discouraged if the PR generates a discussion that leads to further refinement of your PR through additional commits. These should <em>generally</em> be discussed in comments on the PR itself; discussion in the Gitter room (see below) may also be useful;</li>
268
+ <li>If you’ve comments, questions, or just want to talk through your ideas, don’t hesitate to hang out in the <code>Repository::Base</code> <a href="https://gitter.im/jdickey/repository-base">room on Gitter</a>. Ask away!</li>
