Koine::Attributes

Strong attributes for ruby ruby objects.

Yes, there are so many alternative solutions already! Why then? Cause some times people need distractions at the airports.

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'koine-attributes'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install koine-attributes

Usage

 class Person
   include Koine::Attributes
   attributes do
     attribute :name, :string
     attribute :birthday, :date
     # or
     attribute :birthday, Koine::Attributes::Adapter::Date.new
   end
 end
 peson = Person.new
 person.name = 'John Doe'
 person.birtday = '2001-02-31' # Date Object can also be given
 person.name # => 'John Doe'
 person.birthday # => #<Date 2001-02-31>
 person.attributes.to_h   # => {
                          #   name: 'John Doe',
                          #   birthday: #<Date 2001-02-31>
                          # }

Options:

 attributes do
   attribute :name, Koine::Attributes::Adapters::Date.new.with_default_value('guest')
   # or
   attribute :name, :string, ->(adapter) { adapter.with_default_value('guest') }
 end

Adapter’s methods

• with_default_value(default, &block)
• with_nil_value(value = nil, &block)

Also, a constructor can be created by the API

 class Person
   include Koine::Attributes
   attributes initializer: true do
     attribute :name, :string
     attribute :birthday, :date
   end
 end
 person = Person.new(name: 'John Doe', birthday: '2001-01-31')
 # foo: attribute will raise error
 person = Person.new(name: 'John Doe', birthday: '2001-01-31', foo: :bar)

You can disable strict mode

 class Person
   include Koine::Attributes
   attributes initializer: { strict: false } do
     attribute :name, :string
     attribute :birthday, :date
   end
 end
 # foo will be ignored
 person = Person.new(name: 'John Doe', birthday: '2001-01-31', foo: :bar)

class Product
  include Koine::Attributes
  attributes do
    attribute :price, MyCustom::Money.new
    attribute :available, :boolean, ->(attribues){ attributes.with_default_value(true) }
    attribute :available, Koine::Attributes::Drivers::Boolean.new.with_default_value(true)
    attribute :tags, array_of(:string)
    attribute :config, hash_of(:symbol, :string)
    # if you want to costumize the above
    attribute :config, hash_of(:symbol, :string) do |adapter|
      adapter.for_keys.with_nil_value
      adapter.for_values.with_nil_value
    end
  end
end
product = Product.new
product.available #  => true
product.available = 0
product.available #  => false
product.price = { currency: 'USD', value: 100 }
product.tags = ['new']
product.config = { short_url: 'http://config.url' }
# or
product.price = "100 USD"

class MyCustom::Money
  attr_accessor :attribute_name
  def default_value
    return 'some default_value'
  end
  def coerce(*values)
    Money.new(values.first, values.last)
  end
end
product = Product.new
product.available #  => true
product.available = 0
product.available #  => false
product.price = { currency: 'USD', value: 100 }
# or
product.price = "100 USD"

  include Koine::Attributes
  attributes initializer: { freeze: true } do
