module RDoc::RI::Paths - Documentation for Ruby 2.1.0

each(system = true, site = true, home = true, gems = :latest, *extra_dirs) { |directory, type| ... } click to toggle source

Iterates over each selected path yielding the directory and type.

Yielded types:

:system: Where Ruby's ri data is stored. Yielded when system is true
:site: Where ri for installed libraries are stored. Yielded when site is true. Normally no ri data is stored here.
:home: ~/.rdoc. Yielded when home is true.
:gem: ri data for an installed gem. Yielded when gems is true.
:extra: ri data directory from the command line. Yielded for each entry in extra_dirs

# File lib/rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 46
def self.each system = true, site = true, home = true, gems = :latest, *extra_dirs # :yields: directory, type
  return enum_for __method__, system, site, home, gems, *extra_dirs unless
    block_given?

  extra_dirs.each do |dir|
    yield dir, :extra
  end

  yield system_dir,  :system if system
  yield site_dir,    :site   if site
  yield home_dir,    :home   if home and HOMEDIR

  gemdirs(gems).each do |dir|
    yield dir, :gem
  end if gems

  nil
end

gem_dir(name, version) click to toggle source

The ri directory for the gem with gem_name.

# File lib/rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 68
def self.gem_dir name, version
  req = Gem::Requirement.new "= #{version}"

  spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_name name, req

  File.join spec.doc_dir, 'ri'
end

gemdirs(filter = :latest) click to toggle source

The latest installed gems' ri directories. filter can be :all or :latest.

A filter :all includes all versions of gems and includes gems without ri documentation.

# File lib/rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 83
def self.gemdirs filter = :latest
  require 'rubygems' unless defined?(Gem)

  ri_paths = {}

  all = Gem::Specification.map do |spec|
    [File.join(spec.doc_dir, 'ri'), spec.name, spec.version]
  end

  if filter == :all then
    gemdirs = []

    all.group_by do |_, name, _|
      name
    end.sort_by do |group, _|
      group
    end.map do |group, items|
      items.sort_by do |_, _, version|
        version
      end.reverse_each do |dir,|
        gemdirs << dir
      end
    end

    return gemdirs
  end

  all.each do |dir, name, ver|
    next unless File.exist? dir

    if ri_paths[name].nil? or ver > ri_paths[name].first then
      ri_paths[name] = [ver, name, dir]
    end
  end

  ri_paths.sort_by { |_, (_, name, _)| name }.map { |k, v| v.last }
rescue LoadError
  []
end

home_dir() click to toggle source

The location of the rdoc data in the user's home directory.

Like ::system, ri data in the user's home directory is rare and predates libraries distributed via RubyGems. ri data is rarely generated into this directory.

# File lib/rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 130
def self.home_dir
  HOMEDIR
end

path(system = true, site = true, home = true, gems = :latest, *extra_dirs) click to toggle source

Returns existing directories from the selected documentation directories as an Array.

See also ::each

# File lib/rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 152
def self.raw_path(system, site, home, gems, *extra_dirs)
  path = []

  each(system, site, home, gems, *extra_dirs) do |dir, type|
    path << dir
  end

  path.compact
end

site_dir() click to toggle source

The location of ri data installed into the site dir.

Historically this was available for documentation installed by Ruby libraries predating RubyGems. It is unlikely to contain any content for modern Ruby installations.

# File lib/rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 169
def self.site_dir
  File.join BASE, 'site'
end

system_dir() click to toggle source

The location of the built-in ri data.

This data is built automatically when `make` is run when Ruby is installed. If you did not install Ruby by hand you may need to install the documentation yourself. Please consult the documentation for your package manager or Ruby installer for details. You can also use the rdoc-data gem to install system ri data for common versions of Ruby.

# File lib/rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 182
def self.system_dir
  File.join BASE, 'system'
end
