is_alias_for[RW]

Class or module this constant is an alias for

Public Class Methods

from_module(class_type, mod) click to toggle source

Return a RDoc::ClassModule of class class_type that is a copy of module module. Used to promote modules to classes.

end

new(name, superclass = nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new ClassModule with name with optional superclass

This is a constructor for subclasses, and must never be called directly.

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 110
def initialize(name, superclass = nil)
  @constant_aliases = []
  @diagram          = nil
  @is_alias_for     = nil
  @name             = name
  @superclass       = superclass
  @comment_location = [] # [[comment, location]]

  super()
end

Public Instance Methods

add_comment(comment, location) click to toggle source

Adds comment to this ClassModule’s list of comments at location. This method is preferred over comment= since it allows ri data to be updated across multiple runs.

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 126
def add_comment comment, location
  return unless document_self

  original = comment

  comment = case comment
            when RDoc::Comment then
              comment.normalize
            else
              normalize_comment comment
            end

  @comment_location.delete_if { |(_, l)| l == location }

  @comment_location << [comment, location]

  self.comment = original
end

ancestors() click to toggle source

Ancestors list for this ClassModule: the list of included modules (classes will add their superclass if any).

Returns the included classes or modules, not the includes themselves. The returned values are either String or RDoc::NormalModule instances (see RDoc::Include#module).

The values are returned in reverse order of their inclusion, which is the order suitable for searching methods/attributes in the ancestors. The superclass, if any, comes last.

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 168
def ancestors
  includes.map { |i| i.module }.reverse
end

Also aliased as: direct_ancestors

clear_comment() click to toggle source

Clears the comment. Used by the ruby parser.

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 180
def clear_comment
  @comment = ''
end

complete(min_visibility) click to toggle source

Prepares this ClassModule for use by a generator.

See RDoc::Store#complete

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 208
def complete min_visibility
  update_aliases
  remove_nodoc_children
  update_includes
  remove_invisible min_visibility
end

end

documented?() click to toggle source

Does this class or module have a comment with content or is received_nodoc true?

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 226

  super or !@comment_location.empty?
end

each_ancestor() click to toggle source

  return enum_for __method__ unless block_given?

  ancestors.each do |mod|
    next if String === mod
    next if self == mod
    yield mod
  end
end

def path
  http_url @store.rdoc.generator.class_dir
end

remove_nodoc_children() click to toggle source

Updates the child modules or classes of class/module parent by deleting the ones that have been removed from the documentation.

parent_hash is either parent.modules_hash or parent.classes_hash and all_hash is ::all_modules_hash or ::all_classes_hash.

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 622
def remove_nodoc_children
  prefix = self.full_name + '::'

  modules_hash.each_key do |name|

  end
end

def search_record
  [
    name,
    full_name,
    full_name,
    '',
    path,
    '',
    snippet(@comment_location),
  ]
end

store=(store) click to toggle source

Sets the store for this class or module and its contained code objects.

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 666
def store= store

               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 680
def superclass
  @store.find_class_named(@superclass) || @superclass
end

superclass=(superclass) click to toggle source

Set the superclass of this class to superclass

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 687
def superclass=(superclass)
  raise NoMethodError, "#{full_name} is a module" if module?
  @superclass = superclass
end

type() click to toggle source

‘module’ or ‘class’

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 703
def type
  module? ? 'module' : 'class'
end

update_aliases() click to toggle source

Updates the child modules & classes by replacing the ones that are aliases through a constant.

The aliased module/class is replaced in the children and in RDoc::Store#modules_hash or RDoc::Store#classes_hash by a copy that has RDoc::ClassModule#is_alias_for set to the aliased module/class, and this copy is added to #aliases of the aliased module/class.

Formatters can use the non_aliases method to retrieve children that are not aliases, for instance to list the namespace content, since the aliased modules are included in the constants of the class/module, that are listed separately.

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 722
def update_aliases
  constants.each do |const|
    next unless cm = const.is_alias_for
    cm_alias = cm.dup
    cm_alias.name = const.name

    # Don't move top-level aliases under Object, they look ugly there
    unless RDoc::TopLevel === cm_alias.parent then
      cm_alias.parent = self
      cm_alias.full_name = nil # force update for new parent
    end

    cm_alias.aliases.clear
    cm_alias.is_alias_for = cm

    if cm.module? then
      @store.modules_hash[cm_alias.full_name] = cm_alias
      modules_hash[const.name] = cm_alias
    else
      @store.classes_hash[cm_alias.full_name] = cm_alias
      classes_hash[const.name] = cm_alias
    end

    cm.aliases << cm_alias
  end
end

update_extends() click to toggle source

Deletes from extends those whose module has been removed from the documentation.

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 770
def update_extends
  extends.reject! do |ext|
    mod = ext.module

    !(String === mod) && @store.modules_hash[mod.full_name].nil?
  end

  extends.uniq!
end

update_includes() click to toggle source

Deletes from includes those whose module has been removed from the documentation.

 
               # File rdoc/class_module.rb, line 755
def update_includes
  includes.reject! do |include|
    mod = include.module
    !(String === mod) && @store.modules_hash[mod.full_name].nil?
  end

  includes.uniq!
