new(name, superclass = nil)

Creates a new ClassModule with name with optional superclass

This is a constructor for subclasses, and must never be called directly.

def initialize(name, superclass = nil)

  super()
end

Instance Public methods

add_comment(comment, location)

Adds comment to this ClassModule’s list of comments at location. This method is preferred over comment= since it allows ri data to be updated across multiple runs.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 127
def add_comment comment, location
  return unless document_self

  original = comment

  comment = case comment
            when RDoc::Comment then
              comment.normalize
            else
              normalize_comment comment
            end

  if location.parser == RDoc::Parser::C
    @comment_location.delete_if { |(_, l)| l == location }
  end

  @comment_location << [comment, location]

  self.comment = original
end

ancestors()

Ancestors list for this ClassModule: the list of included modules (classes will add their superclass if any).

Returns the included classes or modules, not the includes themselves. The returned values are either String or RDoc::NormalModule instances (see RDoc::Include#module).

The values are returned in reverse order of their inclusion, which is the order suitable for searching methods/attributes in the ancestors. The superclass, if any, comes last.

Also aliased as: direct_ancestors

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 171
def ancestors
  includes.map { |i| i.module }.reverse
end

aref()

HTML fragment reference for this module or class. See RDoc::NormalClass#aref and RDoc::NormalModule#aref

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 183
def aref
  "#{aref_prefix}-#{full_name}"
end

clear_comment()

Clears the comment. Used by the Ruby parser.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 195

  @comment = ''
end

complete(min_visibility)

Prepares this ClassModule for use by a generator.

See RDoc::Store#complete

def path
  http_url @store.rdoc.generator.class_dir
end

remove_nodoc_children()

Updates the child modules or classes of class/module parent by deleting the ones that have been removed from the documentation.

parent_hash is either parent.modules_hash or parent.classes_hash and all_hash is ::all_modules_hash or ::all_classes_hash.

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 643
def remove_nodoc_children
  prefix = self.full_name + '::'

  modules_hash.each_key do |name|

    '',
    path,
    '',
    snippet(@comment_location),
  ]
end

store=(store)

Sets the store for this class or module and its contained code objects.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 687
def store= store
  super

Get the superclass of this class. Attempts to retrieve the superclass object, returns the name if it is not known.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 701
def superclass
  @store.find_class_named(@superclass) || @superclass
end

superclass=(superclass)

Set the superclass of this class to superclass

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 708
def superclass=(superclass)
  raise NoMethodError, "#{full_name} is a module" if module?
  @superclass = superclass
end

type()

‘module’ or ‘class’

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 724
def type
  module? ? 'module' : 'class'
end

update_aliases()

Updates the child modules & classes by replacing the ones that are aliases through a constant.

The aliased module/class is replaced in the children and in RDoc::Store#modules_hash or RDoc::Store#classes_hash by a copy that has RDoc::ClassModule#is_alias_for set to the aliased module/class, and this copy is added to #aliases of the aliased module/class.

Formatters can use the non_aliases method to retrieve children that are not aliases, for instance to list the namespace content, since the aliased modules are included in the constants of the class/module, that are listed separately.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 743
def update_aliases
  constants.each do |const|
    next unless cm = const.is_alias_for
    cm_alias = cm.dup
    cm_alias.name = const.name

    # Don't move top-level aliases under Object, they look ugly there
    unless RDoc::TopLevel === cm_alias.parent then
      cm_alias.parent = self
      cm_alias.full_name = nil # force update for new parent
    end

    cm_alias.aliases.clear
    cm_alias.is_alias_for = cm

    if cm.module? then
      @store.modules_hash[cm_alias.full_name] = cm_alias
      modules_hash[const.name] = cm_alias
    else
      @store.classes_hash[cm_alias.full_name] = cm_alias
      classes_hash[const.name] = cm_alias
    end

    cm.aliases << cm_alias
  end
end

update_extends()

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 791
def update_extends
  extends.reject! do |ext|
    mod = ext.module

    !(String === mod) && @store.modules_hash[mod.full_name].nil?
  end

  extends.uniq!
end

update_includes()

Deletes from includes those whose module has been removed from the documentation.

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rdoc/class_module.rb, line 776
def update_includes
  includes.reject! do |include|
    mod = include.module
    !(String === mod) && @store.modules_hash[mod.full_name].nil?
