Upgraded to Rails 2.0.2, except that we maintain vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/routing.rb from Rail 1.2.6 (at least for now), so that Routes don't change. We still get to enjoy Rails's many new features. Also fixed a bug in Chunk-handling: disable WikiWord processing in tags (for real this time).

class Module
|
|
# Provides a delegate class method to easily expose contained objects' methods
|
|
# as your own. Pass one or more methods (specified as symbols or strings)
|
|
# and the name of the target object as the final :to option (also a symbol
|
|
# or string). At least one method and the :to option are required.
|
|
#
|
|
# Delegation is particularly useful with Active Record associations:
|
|
#
|
|
# class Greeter < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# def hello() "hello" end
|
|
# def goodbye() "goodbye" end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# belongs_to :greeter
|
|
# delegate :hello, :to => :greeter
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Foo.new.hello # => "hello"
|
|
# Foo.new.goodbye # => NoMethodError: undefined method `goodbye' for #<Foo:0x1af30c>
|
|
#
|
|
# Multiple delegates to the same target are allowed:
|
|
# class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# belongs_to :greeter
|
|
# delegate :hello, :goodbye, :to => :greeter
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Foo.new.goodbye # => "goodbye"
|
|
#
|
|
# Methods can be delegated to instance variables, class variables, or constants
|
|
# by providing the variable as a symbol:
|
|
# class Foo
|
|
# CONSTANT_ARRAY = [0,1,2,3]
|
|
# @@class_array = [4,5,6,7]
|
|
#
|
|
# def initialize
|
|
# @instance_array = [8,9,10,11]
|
|
# end
|
|
# delegate :sum, :to => :CONSTANT_ARRAY
|
|
# delegate :min, :to => :@@class_array
|
|
# delegate :max, :to => :@instance_array
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Foo.new.sum # => 6
|
|
# Foo.new.min # => 4
|
|
# Foo.new.max # => 11
|
|
#
|
