Class Sequel::SQL::Expression
In: lib/sequel/extensions/eval_inspect.rb
lib/sequel/sql.rb
Parent: Object

Base class for all SQL expression objects.

Methods

==   attr_reader   comparison_attrs   eql?   hash   inspect   inspect   lit   sql_literal  

Public Class methods

Expression objects are assumed to be value objects, where their attribute values can‘t change after assignment. In order to make it easy to define equality and hash methods, subclass instances assume that the only values that affect the results of such methods are the values of the object‘s attributes.

    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 68
68:       def self.attr_reader(*args)
69:         super
70:         comparison_attrs.concat(args)
71:       end

All attributes used for equality and hash methods.

    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 74

75:         @comparison_attrs ||= self == Expression ? [] : superclass.comparison_attrs.clone

Public Instance methods

Alias of eql?

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 88
88:       def ==(other)
89:         eql?(other)
90:       end

Returns true if the receiver is the same expression as the the other expression.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 94
94:       def eql?(other)
95:         other.is_a?(self.class) && !self.class.comparison_attrs.find{|a| send(a) != other.send(a)}
96:       end

Make sure that the hash value is the same if the attributes are the same.

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 99
 99:       def hash
100:         ([self.class] + self.class.comparison_attrs.map{|x| send(x)}).hash
101:       end

Attempt to produce a string suitable for eval, such that:

  eval(obj.inspect) == obj

    # File lib/sequel/extensions/eval_inspect.rb, line 60
60:       def inspect
61:         # Assume by default that the object can be recreated by calling
62:         # self.class.new with any attr_reader values defined on the class,
63:         # in the order they were defined.
64:         klass = self.class
65:         args = inspect_args.map do |arg|
66:           if arg.is_a?(String) && arg =~ /\A\*/
67:             # Special case string arguments starting with *, indicating that
68:             # they should return an array to be splatted as the remaining arguments
69:             send(arg.sub('*', '')).map{|a| Sequel.eval_inspect(a)}.join(', ')
70:           else
71:             Sequel.eval_inspect(send(arg))
72:           end
73:         end
74:         "#{klass}.new(#{args.join(', ')})"
75:       end

Show the class name and instance variables for the object, necessary for correct operation on ruby 1.9.2.

     # File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 105
105:       def inspect
106:         "#<#{self.class} #{instance_variables.map{|iv| "#{iv}=>#{instance_variable_get(iv).inspect}"}.join(', ')}>"
107:       end

Returns self, because SQL::Expression already acts like LiteralString.

111:         self
