## 0.1.7 (28 April 2016)
|
2
|
+
|
3
|
+
- The default `to_s` for `TypesafeEnum::Enum` now includes the enum's class, key, value,
|
4
|
+
and ordinal, e.g.
|
5
|
+
|
6
|
+
Suit::DIAMONDS.to_s
|
7
|
+
# => "Suit::DIAMONDS [1] -> diamonds"
|
8
|
+
|
9
|
+
(Fixes [#5](https://github.com/dmolesUC3/typesafe_enum/issues/5).)
|
10
|
+
- `::find_by_value_str` now uses a hash lookup like the other `::find_by` methods.
|
11
|
+
- Improved method documentation.
|
12
|
+
|
13
|
+
## 0.1.6 (15 Mar 2016)
|
14
|
+
|
15
|
+
- [#3](https://github.com/dmolesUC3/typesafe_enum/pull/3) - No need for `instance_eval`
|
16
|
+
when creating new enum instance methods - [@dblock](https://github.com/dblock).
|
17
|
+
|
18
|
+
## 0.1.5 (27 Jan 2016)
|
19
|
+
|
20
|
+
- Include the original call site in the warning message for duplicate instances to help
|
21
|
+
with debugging.
|
22
|
+
- Modified gemspec to take into account SSH checkouts when determining the homepage URL.
|
23
|
+
|
24
|
+
## 0.1.4 (18 Dec 2015))
|
25
|
+
|
26
|
+
- Exact duplicate instances (e.g. due to multiple `requires`) are now ignored with a warning,
|
27
|
+
instead of causing a `NameError`. Duplicate keys with different values, and duplicate values
|
28
|
+
with different keys, still raise a `NameError`.
|
29
|
+
- `NameErrors` due to invalid keys or values no longer cause the enum class to be undefined.
|
30
|
+
However, the invalid instances will still not be registered and no constants created for them.
|
31
|
+
|
32
|
+
## 0.1.3 (17 Dec 2015)
|
33
|
+
|
34
|
+
- Fixed issue where invalid classes weren't properly removed after duplicate name declarations,
|
35
|
+
polluting the namespace and causing duplicate declration error messages to be lost.
|
36
|
+
|
37
|
+
## 0.1.2 (19 Nov 2015)
|
38
|
+
|
39
|
+
- Fixed issue where `::find_by_value_str` failed to return `nil` for bad values
|
40
|
+
|
41
|
+
## 0.1.1 (19 Nov 2015)
|
42
|
+
|
43
|
+
- Added `::find_by_value_str`
|
44
|
+
|
45
|
+
## 0.1.0 (18 Nov 2015)
|
46
|
+
|
47
|
+
- Initial release

## Basic usage
|
35
|
+
|
36
|
+
Create a new enum class and a set of instances:
|
37
|
+
|
38
|
+
```ruby
|
39
|
+
require 'typesafe_enum'
|
40
|
+
|
41
|
+
class Suit < TypeIsEnum::Enum
|
42
|
+
new :CLUBS
|
43
|
+
new :DIAMONDS
|
44
|
+
new :HEARTS
|
45
|
+
new :SPADES
|
46
|
+
end
|
47
|
+
```
|
48
|
+
|
49
|
+
A constant is declared for each instance, with an instance of the new
|
50
|
+
class as the value of that constant:
|
51
|
+
|
52
|
+
```ruby
|
53
|
+
Suit::CLUBS
|
54
|
+
# => #<Suit:0x007fe9b3ba2698 @key=:CLUBS, @value="clubs", @ord=0>
|
55
|
+
```
|
56
|
+
|
57
|
+
By default, the `value` of an instance is its `key` symbol, lowercased:
|
58
|
+
|
59
|
+
```ruby
|
60
|
+
Suit::CLUBS.key
|
61
|
+
# => :CLUBS
|
62
|
+
Suit::CLUBS.value
|
63
|
+
# => 'clubs'
|
64
|
+
```
|
65
|
+
|
66
|
+
But you can also declare an explicit `value`:
|
67
|
+
|
68
|
+
```ruby
|
69
|
+
class Tarot < TypeIsEnum::ValueEnum
|
70
|
+
new :CUPS, 'Cups'
|
71
|
+
new :COINS, 'Coins'
|
72
|
+
new :WANDS, 'Wands'
|
73
|
+
new :SWORDS, 'Swords'
|
74
|
+
end
|
75
|
+
|
76
|
+
Tarot::CUPS.value
|
77
|
+
# => 'Cups'
|
78
|
+
```
|
79
|
+
|
80
|
+
And `values` need not be strings:
|
81
|
+
|
82
|
+
```ruby
|
83
|
+
class Scale < TypeIsEnum::ValueEnum
|
84
|
+
new :DECA, 10
|
85
|
+
new :HECTO, 100
|
86
|
+
new :KILO, 1_000
|
87
|
+
new :MEGA, 1_000_000
|
88
|
+
end
|
89
|
+
|
90
|
+
Scale::KILO.value
|
91
|
+
# => 1000
|
92
|
+
```
|
93
|
+
|
94
|
+
Declaring two instances with the same key will produce an error:
|
95
|
+
|
96
|
+
```ruby
|
97
|
+
class Suit < TypeIsEnum::Enum
|
98
|
+
new :CLUBS
|
99
|
+
new :DIAMONDS
|
100
|
+
new :HEARTS
|
101
|
+
new :SPADES
|
102
|
+
new :SPADES, '♠'
|
103
|
+
end
|
104
|
+
```
|
105
|
+
|
106
|
+
```
|
107
|
+
typesafe_enum/lib/typesafe_enum/base.rb:88:in `valid_key_and_value': Suit::SPADES already exists (NameError)
|
108
|
+
from /Users/dmoles/Work/Stash/typesafe_enum/lib/typesafe_enum/base.rb:98:in `register'
|

+
from ./scratch.rb:6:in `<main>'
|
115
|
+
```
|
116
|
+
|
117
|
+
Likewise two instances with the same value but different keys:
|
118
|
+
|
119
|
+
```ruby
|
120
|
+
class Tarot < TypeIsEnum::ValueEnum
|
121
|
+
new :CUPS, 'Cups'
|
122
|
+
new :COINS, 'Coins'
|
123
|
+
new :WANDS, 'Wands'
|
124
|
+
new :SWORDS, 'Swords'
|
125
|
+
new :STAVES, 'Wands'
|
126
|
+
end
|
127
|
+
```
|
128
|
+
|
129
|
+
```
|
130
|
+
/typesafe_enum/lib/typesafe_enum/base.rb:92:in `valid_key_and_value': A Tarot instance with value 'Wands' already exists (NameError)
|
131
|
+
from /Users/dmoles/Work/Stash/typesafe_enum/lib/typesafe_enum/base.rb:98:in `register'
|
132
|
+
from /Users/dmoles/Work/Stash/typesafe_enum/lib/typesafe_enum/base.rb:138:in `block in initialize'
|
133
|
+
from /Users/dmoles/Work/Stash/typesafe_enum/lib/typesafe_enum/base.rb:137:in `class_exec'
|
134
|
+
from /Users/dmoles/Work/Stash/typesafe_enum/lib/typesafe_enum/base.rb:137:in `initialize'
|
135
|
+
from ./scratch.rb:11:in `new'
|
136
|
+
from ./scratch.rb:11:in `<class:Tarot>'
|
137
|
+
from ./scratch.rb:6:in `<main>'
|
138
|
+
```
|
139
|
+
|
140
|
+
However, declaring an identical key/value pair will be ignored with a warning, to avoid unnecessary errors
|
141
|
+
when, e.g., a declaration file is accidentally loaded twice.
|
142
|
+
|
143
|
+
```ruby
|
144
|
+
class Tarot < TypeIsEnum::ValueEnum
|
145
|
+
new :CUPS, 'Cups'
|
146
|
+
new :COINS, 'Coins'
|
147
|
+
new :WANDS, 'Wands'
|
148
|
+
new :SWORDS, 'Swords'
|
149
|
+
end
|
150
|
+
|
151
|
+
class Tarot < TypeIsEnum::ValueEnum
|
152
|
+
new :CUPS, 'Cups'
|
153
|
+
new :COINS, 'Coins'
|
154
|
+
new :WANDS, 'Wands'
|
155
|
+
new :SWORDS, 'Swords'
|
156
|
+
end
|
157
|
+
|
158
|
+
# => ignoring redeclaration of Tarot::CUPS with value Cups (source: /tmp/duplicate_enum.rb:13:in `new')
|
159
|
+
# => ignoring redeclaration of Tarot::COINS with value Coins (source: /tmp/duplicate_enum.rb:14:in `new')
|
160
|
+
# => ignoring redeclaration of Tarot::WANDS with value Wands (source: /tmp/duplicate_enum.rb:15:in `new')
|
161
|
+
# => ignoring redeclaration of Tarot::SWORDS with value Swords (source: /tmp/duplicate_enum.rb:16:in `new')
|
162
|
+
```
|
163
|
+
|
164
|
+
**Note:** If do you see these warnings, it probably means there's something wrong with your `$LOAD_PATH` (e.g.,
|
165
|
+
the same directory present both via its real path and via a symlink). This can cause all sorts of problems,
|
166
|
+
and Ruby's `require` statement is [known to be not smart enough to deal with it](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4403),
|
167
|
+
so it's worth tracking down and fixing the root cause.
|
168
|
+
|
169
|
+
## Ordering
|
170
|
+
|
171
|
+
Enum instances have an ordinal value corresponding to their declaration
|
172
|
+
order:
|
173
|
+
|
174
|
+
```ruby
|
175
|
+
Suit::SPADES.ord
|
176
|
+
# => 3
|
177
|
+
```
|
178
|
+
|
179
|
+
And enum instances are comparable (within a type) based on that order:
|
180
|
+
|
181
|
+
```ruby
|
182
|
+
Suit::SPADES.is_a?(Comparable)
|
183
|
+
# => true
|
184
|
+
Suit::SPADES > Suit::DIAMONDS
|
185
|
+
# => true
|
186
|
+
Suit::SPADES > Tarot::CUPS
|
187
|
+
# ArgumentError: comparison of Suit with Tarot failed
|
188
|
+
```
|
189
|
+
|
190
|
+
## String representations
|
191
|
+
|
192
|
+
The default `to_s` implementation provides the enum's class, key, value,
|
193
|
+
and ordinal, e.g.
|
194
|
+
|
195
|
+
```ruby
|
196
|
+
Suit::DIAMONDS.to_s
|
197
|
+
# => "Suit::DIAMONDS [1] -> diamonds"
|
198
|
+
```
|
199
|
+
|
200
|
+
It can of course be overridden.
|
201
|
+
|
202
|
+
## Convenience methods on enum classes
|
203
|
+
|
204
|
+
### `::to_a`
|
205
|
+
|
206
|
+
Returns an array of the enum instances in declaration order:
|
207
|
+
|
208
|
+
```ruby
|
209
|
+
Tarot.to_a
|
210
|
+
# => [#<Tarot:0x007fd4db30eca8 @key=:CUPS, @value="Cups", @ord=0>, #<Tarot:0x007fd4db30ebe0 @key=:COINS, @value="Coins", @ord=1>, #<Tarot:0x007fd4db30eaf0 @key=:WANDS, @value="Wands", @ord=2>, #<Tarot:0x007fd4db30e9b0 @key=:SWORDS, @value="Swords", @ord=3>]
|
211
|
+
```
|
212
|
+
|
213
|
+
### `::size`
|
214
|
+
|
215
|
+
Returns the number of enum instances:
|
216
|
+
|
217
|
+
```ruby
|
218
|
+
Suit.size
|
219
|
+
# => 4
|
220
|
+
```
|
221
|
+
|
222
|
+
### `::each`, `::each_with_index`, and `::map`
|
223
|
+
|
224
|
+
Iterate over the set of enum instances:
|
225
|
+
|
226
|
+
```ruby
|
227
|
+
Suit.each { |s| puts s.value }
|
228
|
+
# clubs
|
229
|
+
# diamonds
|
230
|
+
# hearts
|
231
|
+
# spades
|
232
|
+
|
233
|
+
Suit.each_with_index { |s, i| puts "#{i}: #{s.key}" }
|
234
|
+
# 0: CLUBS
|
235
|
+
# 1: DIAMONDS
|
236
|
+
# 2: HEARTS
|
237
|
+
# 3: SPADES
|
238
|
+
|
239
|
+
Suit.map(&:value)
|
240
|
+
# => ["clubs", "diamonds", "hearts", "spades"]
|
241
|
+
```
|
242
|
+
|
243
|
+
### `::find_by_key`, `::find_by_value`, `::find_by_ord`
|
244
|
+
|
245
|
+
Look up an enum instance based on its key, value, or ordinal:
|
246
|
+
|
247
|
+
```ruby
|
248
|
+
Tarot.find_by_key(:CUPS)
|
249
|
+
# => #<Tarot:0x007faab19fda40 @key=:CUPS, @value="Cups", @ord=0>
|
250
|
+
Tarot.find_by_value('Wands')
|
251
|
+
# => #<Tarot:0x007faab19fd8b0 @key=:WANDS, @value="Wands", @ord=2>
|
252
|
+
Tarot.find_by_ord(3)
|
253
|
+
# => #<Tarot:0x007faab19fd810 @key=:SWORDS, @value="Swords", @ord=3>
|
254
|
+
```
|
255
|
+
|
256
|
+
### `::find_by_value_str`
|
257
|
+
|
258
|
+
Look up an enum instance based on the string form of its value (as returned by `to_s`) --
|
259
|
+
useful for, e.g., XML or JSON mapping of enums with non-string values:
|
260
|
+
|
261
|
+
```ruby
|
262
|
+
Scale.find_by_value_str('1000000')
|
263
|
+
# => #<Scale:0x007f8513a93810 @key=:MEGA, @value=1000000, @ord=3>
|
264
|
+
```
|
265
|
+
|
266
|
+
## Enum classes with methods
|
267
|
+
|
268
|
+
Enum classes are just classes. They can have methods, and other non-enum constants.
|
269
|
+
(The `:initialize` method for each class, though, is declared programmatically by
|
270
|
+
the base class. If you need to redefine it, be sure to alias and call the original.)
|
271
|
+
|
272
|
+
```ruby
|
273
|
+
class Suit < TypeIsEnum::Enum
|
274
|
+
new :CLUBS
|
275
|
+
new :DIAMONDS
|
276
|
+
new :HEARTS
|
277
|
+
new :SPADES
|
278
|
+
|
279
|
+
ALL_PIPS = %w(♣ ♦ ♥ ♠)
|
280
|
+
|
281
|
+
def pip
|
282
|
+
ALL_PIPS[self.ord]
|
283
|
+
end
|
284
|
+
end
|
285
|
+
|
286
|
+
Suit::ALL_PIPS
|
287
|
+
# => ["♣", "♦", "♥", "♠"]
|
288
|
+
|
289
|
+
Suit::CLUBS.pip
|
290
|
+
# => "♣"
|
291
|
+
|
292
|
+
Suit.map(&:pip)
|
293
|
+
# => ["♣", "♦", "♥", "♠"]
|
294
|
+
```
|
295
|
+
|
296
|
+
## Enum instances with methods
|
297
|
+
|
298
|
+
Enum instances can declare their own methods:
|
299
|
+
|
300
|
+
```ruby
|
301
|
+
class Operation < TypeIsEnum::Enum
|
302
|
+
new(:PLUS, '+') do
|
303
|
+
def eval(x, y)
|
304
|
+
x + y
|
305
|
+
end
|
306
|
+
end
|
307
|
+
new(:MINUS, '-') do
|
308
|
+
def eval(x, y)
|
309
|
+
x - y
|
310
|
+
end
|
311
|
+
end
|
312
|
+
end
|
313
|
+
|
314
|
+
Operation::PLUS.eval(11, 17)
|
315
|
+
# => 28
|
316
|
+
|
317
|
+
Operation::MINUS.eval(28, 11)
|
318
|
+
# => 17
|
319
|
+
|
320
|
+
Operation.map { |op| op.eval(39, 23) }
|
321
|
+
# => [62, 16]
|
322
|
+
```
|
323
|
+
|
324
|
+
## How is this different from [Ruby::Enum](https://github.com/dblock/ruby-enum)?
|
325
|
+
|
326
|
+
[Ruby::Enum](https://github.com/dblock/ruby-enum) is much closer to the classic
|
327
|
+
[C enumeration](https://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-c-manual/gnu-c-manual.html#Enumerations)
|
328
|
+
as seen in C, [C++](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2dzy4k6e.aspx),
|
329
|
+
[C#](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sbbt4032.aspx), and
|
330
|
+
[Objective-C](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/ObjectiveC/ModernizationObjC/AdoptingModernObjective-C/AdoptingModernObjective-C.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014150-CH1-SW6).
|
331
|
+
In C and most C-like languages, an `enum` is simply a named set of `int` values
|
332
|
+
(though C++ and others require an explicit cast to assign an `enum` value to
|
333
|
+
an `int` variable).
|
334
|
+
|
335
|
+
Similarly, a `Ruby::Enum` class is simply a named set of values of any type,
|
336
|
+
with convenience methods for iterating over the set. Usually the values are
|
337
|
+
strings, but they can be of any type.
|
338
|
+
|
339
|
+
```ruby
|
340
|
+
# String enum
|
341
|
+
class Foo
|
342
|
+
include Ruby::Enum
|
343
|
+
|
344
|
+
new :BAR, 'bar'
|
345
|
+
new :BAZ, 'baz'
|
346
|
+
end
|
347
|
+
|
348
|
+
Foo::BAR
|
349
|
+
# => "bar"
|
350
|
+
Foo::BAR == 'bar'
|
351
|
+
# => true
|
352
|
+
|
353
|
+
# Integer enum
|
354
|
+
class Bar
|
355
|
+
include Ruby::Enum
|
356
|
+
|
357
|
+
new :BAR, 1
|
358
|
+
new :BAZ, 2
|
359
|
+
end
|
360
|
+
|
361
|
+
Bar::BAR
|
362
|
+
# => "bar"
|
363
|
+
Bar::BAR == 1
|
364
|
+
# => true
|
365
|
+
```
|
366
|
+
|
367
|
+
Java introduced the concept of "typesafe enums", first as a
|
368
|
+
[design pattern](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/page1-139488.html#replaceenums)
|
369
|
+
and later as a
|
370
|
+
[first-class language construct](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/language/enums.html).
|
371
|
+
In Java, an `Enum` class defines a closed, valued set of _instances of that class,_ rather than
|
372
|
+
of a primitive type such as an `int`, and those instances have all the features of other objects,
|
373
|
+
such as methods, fields, and type membership. Likewise, a `TypeIsEnum` class defines a valued set
|
374
|
+
of instances of that class, rather than of a set of some other type.
|
375
|
+
|
376
|
+
```ruby
|
377
|
+
Suit::CLUBS.is_a?(Suit)
|
378
|
+
# => true
|
379
|
+
Tarot::CUPS == 'Cups'
|
380
|
+
# => false
|
381
|
+
```
|
382
|
+
|
383
|
+
## How is this different from `java.lang.Enum`?
|
384
|
+
|
385
|
+
### Clunkier syntax
|
386
|
+
|
387
|
+
In Java 5+, you can define an enum in one line and instance-specific methods with a pair of braces.
|
388
|
+
|
389
|
+
```java
|
390
|
+
enum CMYKColor {
|
391
|
+
CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW, BLACK
|
392
|
+
}
|
393
|
+
|
394
|
+
enum Suit {
|
395
|
+
CLUBS { char pip() { return '♣'; } },
|
396
|
+
DIAMONDS { char pip() { return '♦'; } },
|
397
|
+
HEARTS { char pip() { return '♥'; } },
|
398
|
+
SPADES { char pip() { return '♠'; } };
|
399
|
+
|
400
|
+
abstract char pip();
|
401
|
+
}
|
402
|
+
```
|
403
|
+
|
404
|
+
With `TypeIsEnum`, instance-specific methods require extra parentheses,
|
405
|
+
as shown above, and about the best you can do even for simple enums is something like:
|
406
|
+
|
407
|
+
```ruby
|
408
|
+
class CMYKColor < TypeIsEnum::Enum
|
409
|
+
[:CYAN, :MAGENTA, :YELLOW, :BLACK].each { |c| new c }
|
410
|
+
end
|
411
|
+
```
|
412
|
+
|
413
|
+
### No special `switch`/`case` support
|
414
|
+
|
415
|
+
The Java compiler will warn you if a `switch` statement doesn't include all instances of a Java enum.
|
416
|
+
Ruby doesn't care whether you cover all instances of a `TypeIsEnum`, and in fact it doesn't care if
|
417
|
+
your `when` statements include a mix of enum instances of different classes, or of enum instances and
|
418
|
+
other things. (In some respects this latter is a feature, of course.)
|
419
|
+
|
420
|
+
### No serialization support
|
421
|
+
|
422
|
+
The Java `Enum` class has special code to ensure that enum instances are deserialized to the existing
|
423
|
+
singleton constants. This can be done with Ruby [`Marshal`](http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.3/Marshal.html)
|
424
|
+
(by defining `marshal_load`) but it didn't seem worth the trouble, so a deserialized `TypeIsEnum` will
|
425
|
+
not be identical to the original:
|
426
|
+
|
427
|
+
```ruby
|
428
|
+
clubs2 = Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(Suit::CLUBS))
|
429
|
+
Suit::CLUBS.equal?(clubs2)
|
430
|
+
# => false
|
431
|
+
```
|
432
|
+
|
433
|
+
However, `#==`, `#hash`, etc. are `Marshal`-safe:
|
434
|
+
|
435
|
+
```ruby
|
436
|
+
Suit::CLUBS == clubs2
|
437
|
+
# => true
|
438
|
+
clubs2 == Suit::CLUBS
|
439
|
+
# => true
|
440
|
+
Suit::CLUBS.hash == clubs2.hash
|
441
|
+
# => true
|
442
|
+
```
|
443
|
+
|
444
|
+
If this isn't enough, and the lack of object identity across marshalling is a problem, it could be added
|
445
|
+
in a later version. (Pull requests welcome!)
|
446
|
+
|
447
|
+
### No support classes
|
448
|
+
|
449
|
+
Java has `Enum`-specific classes like
|
450
|
+
[`EnumSet`](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/EnumSet.html) and
|
451
|
+
[`EnumMap`](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/EnumMap.html) that provide special
|
452
|
+
high-performance, optimized versions of its collection interfaces. `TypeIsEnum` doesn't.
|
453
|
+
|
454
|
+
### Enum classes are not closed
|
455
|
+
|
456
|
+
It's Ruby, so even though `:new` is private to each enum class, you
|
457
|
+
can work around that in various ways:
|
458
|
+
|
459
|
+
```ruby
|
460
|
+
Suit.send(:new, :JOKERS)
|
461
|
+
# => #<Suit:0x007fc9e44e4778 @key=:JOKERS, @value="jokers", @ord=4>
|
462
|
+
|
463
|
+
class Tarot
|
464
|
+
new :MAJOR_ARCANA, 'Major Arcana'
|
465
|
+
end
|
466
|
+
# => #<Tarot:0x007f8513b39b20 @key=:MAJOR_ARCANA, @value="Major Arcana", @ord=4>
|
467
|
+
|
468
|
+
Suit.map(&:key)
|
469
|
+
# => [:CLUBS, :DIAMONDS, :HEARTS, :SPADES, :JOKERS]
|
470
|
+
|
471
|
+
Tarot.map(&:key)
|
472
|
+
# => [:CUPS, :COINS, :WANDS, :SWORDS, :MAJOR_ARCANA]
|
473
|
+
```
|
474
|
+
|
475
|
+
