Strict
Strict provides a means to strictly validate instantiation of values, instantiation and attribute assignment of objects, and method calls at runtime.
Installation
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add strict
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install strict
Usage
Strict::Value
class Money
include Strict::Value
attributes do
amount_in_cents Integer
currency AnyOf("USD", "CAD"), default: "USD"
end
end
Money.new(amount_in_cents: 100_00)
# => #<Money amount_in_cents=100_00 currency="USD">
Money.new(amount_in_cents: 100_00, currency: "CAD")
# => #<Money amount_in_cents=100_00 currency="CAD">
Money.new(amount_in_cents: 100.00)
# => Strict::InitializationError
Money.new(amount_in_cents: 100_00).with(amount_in_cents: 200_00)
# => #<Money amount_in_cents=200_00 currency="USD">
Money.new(amount_in_cents: 100_00).amount_in_cents = 50_00
# => NoMethodError
Money.new(amount_in_cents: 100_00) == Money.new(amount_in_cents: 100_00)
# => true
Strict::Object
class Stateful
include Strict::Object
attributes do
some_state String
dependency Anything(), default: nil
end
end
Stateful.new(some_state: "123")
# => #<Stateful some_state="123" dependency=nil>
Stateful.new(some_state: "123").with(some_state: "456")
# => NoMethodError
Stateful.new(some_state: "123").some_state = "456"
# => "456"
# => #<Stateful some_state="456" dependency=nil>
Stateful.new(some_state: "123").some_state = 456
# => Strict::AssignmentError
Stateful.new(some_state: "123") == Stateful.new(some_state: "123")
# => false
Strict::Method
class UpdateEmail
extend Strict::Method
sig do
user_id String, coerce: ->(value) { value.to_s }
email String
returns AnyOf(true, nil)
end
def call(user_id:, email:)
# contrived logic
user_id == email
end
end
UpdateEmail.new.call(user_id: 123, email: "123")
# => true
UpdateEmail.new.call(user_id: "123", email: "123")
# => true
UpdateEmail.new.call(user_id: "123", email: 123)
# => Strict::MethodCallError
UpdateEmail.new.call(user_id: "123", email: "456")
# => Strict::MethodReturnError
Strict::Interface
class Storage
extend Strict::Interface
expose(:write) do
key String
contents String
returns Boolean()
end
expose(:read) do
key String
returns AnyOf(String, nil)
end
end
module Storages
class Memory
def initialize
@storage = {}
end
def write(key:, contents:)
storage[key] = contents
true
end
def read(key:)
storage[key]
end
private
attr_reader :storage
end
end
storage = Storage.new(Storages::Memory.new)
# => #<Storage implementation=#<Storages::Memory>>
storage.write(key: "some/path/to/file.rb", contents: "Hello")
# => true
storage.write(key: "some/path/to/file.rb", contents: {})
# => Strict::MethodCallError
storage.read(key: "some/path/to/file.rb")
# => "Hello"
storage.read(key: "some/path/to/other.rb")
# => nil
module Storages
class Wat
def write(key:)
end
end
end
storage = Storage.new(Storages::Wat.new)
# => Strict::ImplementationDoesNotConformError
Configuration
Strict exposes some configuration options which can be configured globally via Strict.configure { ... }
or overridden
within a block via Strict.with_overrides(...) { ... }
.
Example
# Globally
Strict.configure do |c|
c.sample_rate = 0.75 # run validation ~75% of the time
end
Strict.configure do |c|
c.sample_rate = 0 # disable validation (Strict becomes Lenient)
end
Strict.configure do |c|
c.sample_rate = 1 # always run validation
end
# Locally within the block (only applies to the current thread)
Strict.with_overrides(sample_rate: 0) do
# Use Strict as you normally would
Strict.with_overrides(sample_rate: 0.5) do
# Overrides can be nested
end
end
Strict.configuration.random
The instance of a Random::Formatter
that Strict uses in tandom with the sample_rate
to determine when validation
should be checked.
Default: Random.new
Strict.configuration.sample_rate
The rate of samples Strict will consider when validating attributes, parameters, and return values. A rate of 0.25 will
validate roughly 25% of the time, a rate of 0 will disable validation entirely, and a rate of 1 will always
run validations. The sample_rate
is used in tandem with random
to determine whether validation should be run.
Default: 1
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake test
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.

I can't thank Tom Dalling enough for his excellent ValueSemantics gem. Strict is heavily inspired and influenced by Tom's work and has some borrowed concepts and code.
