Disposable Callbacks

Last updated 26 July 2017 disposable v0.4

Disposable: Callback

Callbacks in Disposable implement the Imperative Callback pattern.

Declarative API

A Callback::Group allows defining nested callbacks.

class Group < Disposable::Callback::Group
  on_change :change!

  collection :songs do
    on_add :notify_album!
  end

  # on_change :rehash_name!, property: :title
end

Per default, callback methods will be invoked on the respective group. In nested setups, this means you also need to nest the method implementation.

class Group < Disposable::Callback::Group
  on_change :change!

  def change!(twin, options)
    options[:string] << "change!"
  end

  collection :songs do
    on_add :notify_album!

    def notify_album!(twin, options)
      options[:string] << "notify_album!"
    end
  end
end

Invocation

A group is invoked using call.

Group.new(twin).()

Context

You can use an arbitrary context object to implement the callback methods.

class CallbackImplementation
  def change!(twin, options)
    options[:string] << "change!"
  end

  def notify_album!(twin, options)
    options[:string] << "notify_album!"
  end
end

When invoking, specify it using the :context option.

Group.new(twin).(context: CallbackImplementation.new)

This allows leaving the Group free of implementation, as a pure definition of events, only. Also, note that you don’t have any nesting with a context object, all methods are implemented on the same level in a simple object.

Options

You may pass arbitrary options to all callback methods.

Group.new(twin).(context: CallbackImplementation.new, string: "")

This allows injecting dependencies without global state.

class CallbackImplementation
  def change!(twin, options)
    options[:string] << "change!"
  end
