Disposable Default

Last updated 05 May 2017 disposable v0.4

Twin: Default

Twins allow default values to be set on the twin. This is provided by the Default module.

Default values can be set via :default.

class AlbumTwin < Disposable::Twin
  feature Default

  property :title, default: "The Greatest Songs Ever Written"
  property :composer, default: Composer.new do
    property :name
  end
end

The default value is applied when the model’s getter returns nil in Setup.

Note that this also works for nested properties.

Struct Defaults

Defaults also work for Struct.

class AlbumTwin < Disposable::Twin
  feature Default

  property :settings, default: Hash.new do
    include Struct

    property :enabled, default: "yes"
    property :roles, default: Hash.new do
      include Struct
      property :admin, default: "maybe"
    end
  end
end

You can now access nested hashes even if they were not present initially.

album = Album.new
album.settings #=> nil

twin = AlbumTwin.new(album)
twin.settings.enabled #=> "yes"
twin.settings.roles.admin #=> "maybe"

Naturally, this will then write a valid hash back in sync.

twin.sync
album.settings #=> {"enabled"=>"yes", "roles"=>{"admin"=>"maybe"}}
