Usage of underscored names of
option
-s andparam
-s (nepalez)You can use any sequence of underscores except for in nested types. In nested types single underscores can be used to split alphanumeric parts only.
class Test extend Dry::Initializer # Proper usage option :foo_bar do option :__foo__, proc(&:to_s) end end # Improper usage option :__foo__ do # ... end option :foo__bar do # ... end end
This restriction is necessary because we constantize option/param names when defining nested structs.
-
Support of wrapped types/coercers (nepalez)
class Test # Wrap type to the array param :foo, [proc(&:to_s)] end # And the value will be wrapped as well test = Test.new(42) test.foo # => ["42"]
-
It works with several layers of nesting (nepalez)
class Test # Wrap type to the array param :foo, [[proc(&:to_s)]] end # And the value will be wrapped as well test = Test.new(42) test.foo # => [["42"]]
-
Support of nested types/coercers (nepalez)
class Test param :foo do option :bar do option :baz, proc(&:to_s) end end end test = Test.new(bar: { "baz" => 42 }) test.foo.bar.baz # => "42"
-
Wrapped/nested combinations are supported as well (nepalez)
class Test param :foo, [] do option :bar, proc(&:to_s) end end test = Test.new(bar: 42) test.foo.first.bar # => "42"
-
Roll back master to the state of [2.5.0].
Somehow distinction between
@default_null
and@null
variables in theDry::Initializer::Builders
broken therom
library.The version [2.6.0] has been yanked on rubygems, so the master was rolled back to the previous state until the reason for the incompatibility become clear (bjeanes, nepalez)
-
nil
coercion (belousovAV)When default value is
nil
instead ofDry::Initializer::UNDEFINED
, the coercion should be applied to any value, includingnil
, because we cannot distinct "undefined"nil
from the "assigned"nil
value.
-
Dispatchers for adding syntax sugar to
param
andoptions
(nepalez)# Converts `integer: true` to `type: proc(&:to_i)` dispatcher = ->(op) { op[:integer] ? op.merge(type: proc(&:to_i)) : op } # Register a dispatcher Dry::Initializer::Dispatchers << dispatcher # Use syntax sugar class User param :id, integer: true # same as param :id, proc(&:to_i) end
-
Type coercer can take second argument for the initialized instance (nepalez) This allows to wrap assigned value to the object that refers back to the initializer instance. More verbose example:
class Location < String attr_reader :parameter # refers back to its parameter def initialize(name, parameter) super(name) @parameter = parameter end end class Parameter extend Dry::Initializer param :name param :location, ->(value, param) { Location.new(value, param) } end offset = Parameter.new "offset", location: "query" offset.name # => "offset" offset.location # => "query" offset.location.parameter == offset # true
-
Option
:desc
for option/param to add a description (nepalez) -
Methods
Definition#inch
andConfig#inch
to inspect definitions (nepalez)class User extend Dry::Initializer option :name, proc(&:to_s), optional: true, desc: "User name" option :email, optional: true, desc: "user email" end User.dry_initializer.inch # @!method initialize(*, **options) # Initializes an instance of User # @option [Object] :name (optional) User name # @option [Object] :email (optional) User email # @return [User]
-
Method
#options
to param/option definition (nepalez)class User extend Dry::Initializer option :name, proc(&:to_s), optional: true option :email, optional: true end User.dry_initializer.options.map do |option| [option.source, option.options] end # => [ # [:name, { type: proc(&:to_s), as: :name, optional: true }], # [:email, { as: :email, optional: true }] # ]
This method can be helpful for replicating params/options in another class without inheritance.
and to @gzigzigzeo for persuading me to do this refactoring.
-
Class method
.dry_initializer
-- a container for.params
and.options
.definitions
along with the.null
setting (eithernil
orUNDEFINED
) used for unassigned values (nepalez) -
.dry_initializer.attributes
method takes an instance of the same class and returns the hash of assigned options. This provide the same functionality as previously used instance variable@__options__
(nepalez)object.class.dry_initializer.attributes(object)
When you use "Dry::Initializer.define -> { ... }" syntax, the class method
.dry_initializer
is not defined. To access attributes you should use private instance method#__dry_initializer_config__
instead:object.send(:__dry_initializer_config__).attributes(object)
Both methods
.dry_initializer
and#__dry_initializer_config__
refer to the same object. -
.dry_initializer.public_attributes
. This method works differently: it looks through (possibly reloaded) readers instead of variables (gzigzigzeo, nepalez)object.class.dry_initializer.public_attributes(object)
You can use the same trick as above mutatis mutandis.
-
Definition order dependency bug (nepalez)
I've found out that if you provided a subclass and then changed params or options of its superclass, these changes woudn't be reflected in subclasses until you change any of it params/options as well.
Now this bug is fixed: every time you call
param
oroption
at any class, the gem scans through all its descendants to the very bottom of the tree, and reloads their defintitions.Being done in load time, the rebuilt makes no effect on runtime performance.
-
Possible misbehavior when you define param and option with the same name (nepalez)
Doing this will provide
option :name
only, not both:param :name option :name
-
Attempt to redefine param/option of superclass with option/param in its subclass will cause an exception because it would break Liskov substitute principle with unexpected behaviour (nepalez)
No, you can do neither these definitions, nor vice versa:
class Foo extend Dry::Intitializer param :name end class Bar < Foo option :name end
-
When you reloading previously defined param of superclass, the gem will check all its descendands for whether all required positional params goes before optional ones (nepalez)
class Foo param :name # Foo: def initializer(name) end class Bar param :email # Bar: def initializer(name, email) end class Foo # This raises SyntaxError because in Bar this would cause wrong definition # Foo: def initializer(name = nil) # Bar: def initializer(name = nil, email) param :name, optional: true end
-
Under the hood I've separated param/option settings declaration (a container with param/option settings) from code builders for initializer and readers (nepalez)
You can check both the code for the
__initializer__
:class Foo extend Dry::Initializer # ... end Foo.dry_initializer.code
and readers:
Foo.dry_initializer.params.map(&:code) Foo.dry_initializer.options.map(&:code) # or Foo.dry_initializer.definitions.values.map(&:code)
You can also check settings for every param and option using methods
dry_initializer.params
,dry_initializer.options
(lists), ordry_initializer.definitions
(hash).You can check null value via
.dry_initializer.null
which is different forDry::Initializer
andDry::Initializer[undefined: false]
modules. -
Optimized the code for
__initializer__
-s (the method where all magics occurs) (nepalez)Benchmarks remained about the same:

- Warning about redefined
#initialize
in case the method reloaded in a klass that extends the module (nepalez, sergey-chechaev)
- Rename
Dry::Initializer::DSL
->Dry::Initializer::ClassDSL
(nepalez) - Add
Dry::Initializer::InstanceDSL
(nepalez)
- The
@__options__
hash now collects all assigned attributes, collected via#option
(as before), and#param
(nepalez)
-
No-undefined configuration of the initializer (nepalez, flash-gordon)
You can either extend or include module
Dry::Initializer
with additional option[undefined: false]
. This timenil
will be assigned instead ofDry::Initializer::UNDEFINED
. Readers becomes faster because there is no need to chech whether a variable was defined or not. At the same time the initializer doesn't distinct cases when a variable was set tonil
explicitly, and when it wasn's set at all:class Foo # old behavior extend Dry::Initializer param :qux, optional: true end
class Bar # new behavior extend Dry::Initializer[undefined: false] param :qux, optional: true end
Foo.new.instance_variable_get(:@qux) # => Dry::Initializer::UNDEFINED Bar.new.instance_variable_get(:@qux) # => nil
- Fixed method definitions for performance at the load time (nepalez, flash-gordon)
- The
@__options__
variable collects renamed options after default values and coercions were applied (nepalez)
- Support for lambdas as default values (nepalez, gzigzigzeo)
- Remove previously defined methods before redefining them (flash-gordon)
@__options__
collects defined options only (nepalez)
-
enhancement via
Dry::Initializer::Attribute.dispatchers
registry (nepalez)# Register dispatcher for `:string` option Dry::Initializer::Attribute.dispatchers << ->(string: nil, **op) do string ? op.merge(type: proc(&:to_s)) : op end # Now you can use the `:string` key for `param` and `option` class User extend Dry::Initializer param :name, string: true end User.new(:Andy).name # => "Andy"
- optimize assignments for performance (nepalez)
In this version the code has been rewritten for simplicity
-
support for reloading
param
andoption
definitions (nepalez)class User extend Dry::Initializer param :name param :phone, optional: true end
User.new # => Boom!
class Admin < User param :name, default: proc { 'Merlin' } end
Admin.new.name # => "Merlin"
-
support for assignment of attributes via several options (nepalez)
class User extend Dry::Initializer option :phone option :number, as: :phone end
User.new(phone: '1234567890').phone # => '1234567890' User.new(number: '1234567890').phone # => '1234567890'
- [BREAKING] when
param
oroption
was not defined, the corresponding variable is set toDry::Initializer::UNDEFINED
, but the reader (when defined) will returnnil
(nepalez) Dry::Initializer
andDry::Initializer::Mixin
became aliases (nepalez)
- Support of reloading
#initializer
withsuper
(nepalez)
- Support of Ruby 2.4 (flas-gordon)
- Wrong arity when there were no options and the last param had a default (nolith)
-
Support of weird option names (nepalez)
option :"First name", as: :first_name
- Validation of attributes (params and options) (nepalez)
-
Support for renaming an option during initialization (nepalez)
option :name, as: :username # to take :name option and create :username attribute
-
The method
#initialize
is defined when a class extended the module (nepalez)In previous versions the method was defined only by
param
andoption
calls.
-
Support for
dry-struct
ish syntax for constraints (type as a second parameter) (nepalez)option :name, Dry::Types['strict.string']
are deprecated and will be removed in the next version of the gem.
- support for special options like
option :end
,option :begin
etc. (nepalez)
- switched from key arguments to serialized hash argument in the initializer (nepalez)
- Shared settings with
#using
method (nepalez)
- Support for private and protected readers in the
reader:
option (jmgarnier)
- Allow
optional
attribute to be left undefined (nepalez)
- Add explicit requirement for ruby 'set' (rickenharp)
- Support for tolerance to unknown options (nepalez)
its method #register doesn't mutate the builder instance.
- Prevent plugin's registry from polluting superclass (nepalez)
- Made Mixin##initializer_builder method private (nepalez)
- Add Mixin#register_initializer_plugin(plugin) method (nepalez)
- Make all instances (Builder and Signature) immutable (nepalez)
- Decouple mixin from a builder to prevent pollution (nepalez)
- Ensure default value block can use private variables (jeremyf)
- Fix polluting superclass with declarations from subclass (nepalez)
- Make all instances (Builder and Signature) immutable (nepalez)
- Decouple mixin from a builder to prevent pollution (nepalez)
- Ensure default value block can use private variables (jeremyf)
Default assignments became slower (while plain type constraint are not)!
-
Support type constraint via every object's case equality (nepalez)
option :name, type: /foo/ option :name, type: (1...14)
-
Support defaults and type constraints for the "container" syntax (nepalez)
-
Support adding extensions via plugin system (nepalez)
-
Make dry-types constraint to coerce variables (nepalez)
# This will coerce `name: :foo` to `"foo"` option :name, type: Dry::Types::Coercible::String
-
Stop supporing proc type constraint (nepalez)
option :name, type: ->(v) { String === v } # this does NOT work any more
later it will be implemented via coercion plugin (not added by default):
require 'dry/initializer/coercion' class MyClass extend Dry::Initializer::Mixin extend Dry::Initializer::Coercion option :name, coercer: ->(v) { (String === v) ? v.to_sym : fail } end
include Dry::Initializer.define -> do ... end
syntax (flash-gordon)
Backward compatibility is broken.
- Use
include Dry::Initializer.define(&block)
as an alternative to extending the class (nepalez)
- Use
extend Dry::Initializer::Mixin
instead ofextend Dry::Initializer
(nepalez)
