Miller
Write beautiful and descriptive code by adding configurable services with DSLs in a quick and easy manner.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'miller'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install miller
Usage
class ServiceBase
include Miller.with(:name, :lastname)
def full_name
"#{name} #{lastname}"
end
# write your logic here
end
class Service < ServiceBase
name 'John'
lastname 'Doe'
end
Service.config.name # => 'John'
Service.config.lastname # => 'Doe'
inst = Service.new
inst.name # => 'John'
inst.lastname # => 'Doe'
inst.full_name # => 'John Doe'
IMPORTANT: Usually you will create a base class and then inherit from it for clarity as the previous example shows. The following examples are just to explain the features.
Blocks
class Service
include Miller.with(:name, :lastname)
name { another_name }
lastname 'Doe'
def another_name
"victor"
end
end
Service.config.name # => Proc
Service.config.lastname # => 'Doe'
inst = Service.new
inst.name # => 'victor'
inst.lastname # => 'Doe'
Default Config
class Service
include Miller.with(:name, :lastname, default_config: { name: 'Henry', lastname: 'Miller' })
lastname 'Doe'
end
Service.config.name # => 'Henry'
Service.config.lastname # => 'Doe'
inst = Service.new
inst.name # => 'Henry'
inst.lastname # => 'Doe'
Inheritance
If you require configs to be inherited by children use the following.
class ServiceBase < Miller.base(:name, :lastname)
name 'John'
lastname 'Doe'
end
class Service < ServiceBase; end
Service.config.name # => 'John'
Service.config.lastname # => 'Doe'
inst = Service.new
inst.name # => 'John'
inst.lastname # => 'Doe'
Override at instance level
WARNING: This can be useful but very dangerous please use it carefully.
class Service
include Miller.with(:name, :lastname)
name 'John'
lastname 'Doe'
end
Service.config.name # => 'John'
Service.config.lastname # => 'Doe'
inst = Service.new
inst.name = 'Henry'
inst.name # => 'Henry'
inst.lastname # => 'Doe'
class Service
include Miller.with(:name, :lastname)
name 'John'
lastname 'Doe'
def another_name
'Martha'
end
end
Service.config.name # => 'John'
Service.config.lastname # => 'Doe'
inst = Service.new
inst.name = proc { another_name }
inst.name # => 'Martha'
inst.lastname # => 'Doe'
Errors
class Service
include Miller.with(:name, :lastname)
name 'John'
lastname 'Doe'
end
Service.config.foo # => Miller::ConfigNotSetError
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
