add_alias(an_alias, context) click to toggle source

Abstract method. Contexts in their building phase call this to register a new alias for this known method/attribute.

adds self as an alias for the new method or attribute
adds the method or attribute to aliases
adds the method or attribute to context.

  # global variable
  return @block_params = 'str' if value =~ /^\$[&0-9]$/

  # wipe out array/hash indices
  value.gsub!(/(\w)\[[^\[]+\]/, '\1')

  # remove @ from class/instance variables
  value.gsub!(/@@?([a-z0-9_]+)/, '\1')

  # method calls => method name

  # simple expressions
  value = $1 if value =~ /^([a-z0-9_]+)\s*[-*+\/]/

  @block_params = value.strip
end

documented?() click to toggle source

A method/attribute is documented if any of the following is true:

it was marked with :nodoc:;
it has a comment;
it is an alias for a documented method;
it has a #see method that is documented.

Calls superclass method RDoc::CodeObject#documented?

# File lib/rdoc/method_attr.rb, line 132
def documented?
  super or
    (is_alias_for and is_alias_for.documented?) or
    (see and see.documented?)
end

full_name() click to toggle source

Full method/attribute name including namespace

# File lib/rdoc/method_attr.rb, line 300
def full_name
  @full_name ||= "#{parent_name}#{pretty_name}"
end

html_name() click to toggle source

# File lib/rdoc/method_attr.rb, line 319
def name_prefix
  @singleton ? '::' : '#'
end

output_name(context) click to toggle source

Name for output to HTML. For class methods the full name with a “.” is used like SomeClass.method_name. For instance methods the class name is used if context does not match the parent.

This is to help prevent people from using: to call class methods.

# File lib/rdoc/method_attr.rb, line 330
def output_name context
  return "#{name_prefix}#{@name}" if context == parent

  "#{parent_name}#{@singleton ? '.' : '#'}#{@name}"
end

Calls superclass method RDoc::CodeObject#parent_name

def parent_name
  @parent_name || super
end

path() click to toggle source

Path to this method for use with HTML generator output.

    @parent.full_name,
    path,
    params,
    snippet(@comment),
  ]
end

see() click to toggle source

A method/attribute to look at, in particular if this method/attribute has no documentation.

It can be a method/attribute of the superclass or of an included module, including the Kernel module, which is always appended to the included modules.

Returns nil if there is no such method/attribute. The #is_alias_for method/attribute, if any, is not included.

Templates may generate a “see also …” if this method/attribute has documentation, and “see …” if it does not.

# File lib/rdoc/method_attr.rb, line 152
def see
  @see = find_see if @see == false
  @see

Calls superclass method RDoc::CodeObject#store=
