class Contract

This is the main Contract class. When you write a new contract, you'll write it as:

Contract [contract names] => return_value

This class also provides useful callbacks and a validation method.

For make_validator and related logic see file lib/contracts/validators.rb For call_with and related logic see file lib/contracts/call_with.rb

Constants

DEFAULT_FAILURE_CALLBACK: Default implementation of failure_callback. Provided as a block to be able to monkey patch failure_callback only temporary and then switch it back. First important usage - for specs.

Public Class Methods

failure_callback(data, use_pattern_matching = true) click to toggle source

Callback for when a contract fails. By default it raises an error and prints detailed info about the contract that failed. You can also monkeypatch this callback to do whatever you want…log the error, send you an email, print an error message, etc.

Example of monkeypatching:

def Contract.failure_callback(data)
  puts "You had an error!"
  puts failure_msg(data)
  exit
end

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 149
def self.failure_callback(data, use_pattern_matching = true)
  if data[:contracts].pattern_match? && use_pattern_matching
    return DEFAULT_FAILURE_CALLBACK.call(data)
  end

  fetch_failure_callback.call(data)
end

failure_msg(data) click to toggle source

Given a hash, prints out a failure message. This function is used by the default failure_callback method and uses the hash passed into the ::failure_callback method.

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 117
def self.failure_msg(data)
  expected = Contracts::Formatters::Expected.new(data[:contract]).contract
  position = Contracts::Support.method_position(data[:method])
  method_name = Contracts::Support.method_name(data[:method])

  header = if data[:return_value]
             "Contract violation for return value:"
           else
             "Contract violation for argument #{data[:arg_pos]} of #{data[:total_args]}:"
           end

  %Q{#{header}
      Expected: #{expected},
      Actual: #{data[:arg].inspect}
      Value guarded in: #{data[:class]}::#{method_name}
      With Contract: #{data[:contracts]}
      At: #{position} }
end

        It looks like your contract for #{method.name} doesn't have a return

end

override_failure_callback(&blk) click to toggle source

Used to override ::failure_callback without monkeypatching.

Takes: block parameter, that should accept one argument - data.

Example usage:

Contract.override_failure_callback do |data|
  puts "You had an error"
  puts failure_msg(data)
  exit
end

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 168
def self.override_failure_callback(&blk)
  @failure_callback = blk
end

restore_failure_callback() click to toggle source

Used to restore default failure callback

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 173
def self.restore_failure_callback
  @failure_callback = DEFAULT_FAILURE_CALLBACK
end

valid?(arg, contract) click to toggle source

Used to verify if an argument satisfies a contract.

Takes: an argument and a contract.

Returns: a tuple: [Boolean, metadata]. The boolean indicates whether the contract was valid or not. If it wasn't, metadata contains some useful information about the failure.

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 188
def self.valid?(arg, contract)
  make_validator(contract)[arg]
end

Public Instance Methods

[](*args, &blk) click to toggle source

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 192
def [](*args, &blk)
  call(*args, &blk)
end

call(*args, &blk) click to toggle source

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 196
def call(*args, &blk)
  call_with(nil, *args, &blk)
end

failure_exception() click to toggle source

Used to determine type of failure exception this contract should raise in case of failure

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 227
def failure_exception
  if pattern_match?
    PatternMatchingError
  else
    ParamContractError
  end
end

maybe_append_block!(args, blk) click to toggle source

a better way to handle this might be to take this into account before throwing a “mismatched # of args” error. returns true if it appended nil

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 207
def maybe_append_block! args, blk
  return false unless @has_proc_contract && !blk &&
      (@args_contract_index || args.size < args_contracts.size)
  args << nil
  true
end

maybe_append_options!(args, blk) click to toggle source

Same thing for when we have named params but didn't pass any in. returns true if it appended nil

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 216
def maybe_append_options! args, blk
  return false unless @has_options_contract
  if @has_proc_contract && args_contracts[-2].is_a?(Hash) && !args[-2].is_a?(Hash)
    args.insert(-2, {})
  elsif args_contracts[-1].is_a?(Hash) && !args[-1].is_a?(Hash)
    args << {}
  end
  true
end

pattern_match!() click to toggle source

@private Used internally to mark contract as pattern matching contract

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 237
def pattern_match!
  @pattern_match = true
end

pattern_match?() click to toggle source

Used to determine if contract is a pattern matching contract

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 242
def pattern_match?
  @pattern_match == true
end

pretty_contract(c) click to toggle source

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 104
def pretty_contract c
  c.is_a?(Class) ? c.name : c.class.name
end

# File lib/contracts.rb, line 108
def to_s
  args = args_contracts.map { |c| pretty_contract(c) }.join(", ")
  ret = pretty_contract(ret_contract)
  ("#{args} => #{ret}").gsub("Contracts::Builtin::", "")
end
