Introduction to Active Support
Notations $ irb # Shell command > str = "Hello
World" # Ruby code #=> Hello World # Return value
Notations Object.method <= Class method Object#method <= Instance method
What is Active Support?
"Utility classes and Ruby extensions from Rails" (From https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/master/activesupport)
Utility Classes • ActiveSupport::Callbacks • ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess • ActiveSupport::MessageEncrypter • ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier
• ... etc ...
Ruby Extensions • object.present? / object.blank? • date.yesterday / date.tomorrow
• 1.day.ago / 2.months.from_now • ... etc ...
Part of Rails framework Available to be used inside Rails
# To use outside Rails $ gem install activesupport #
in Ruby > require "activesupport/all"
Digging Deeper
Callbacks
Callbacks • Helpers to define and run callbacks • Use
in Active Record, Action Pack, etc. • before_action, after_action, before_save, etc.
Callback Example class User < ActiveRecord::Base before_save :do_something def do_something
# ... end end
Callback Example class Account include ActiveSupport::Callbacks define_callbacks :save set_callback :save,
:before, :do_something def save run_callbacks :save do # ... end end def do_something # ... end end
MessageEncrypter Encrypts message with a key
MessageEncrypter > salt = SecureRandom.random_bytes(64) > key = ActiveSupport::KeyGenerator. new('password').generate_key(salt)
> crypt = ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor.new(key) > encrypted_data = crypt. encrypt_and_sign('my secret data') > crypt.decrypt_and_verify(encrypted_data)
Notifications
Notifications • Uses for logging purposes • Executer instrument an
event that should be subscribed to: • Action View's "render" • Active Record's "execute SQL" • etc. • Listeners subscribe to those events from another part of the application
TimeZone
TimeZone • Contains full mapping of time zones • Perform
time zone conversions
TimeZone > ActiveSupport::TimeZone.all > ActiveSupport::TimeZone.us_zones > Time.zone = "America/New_York" >
time = Time.zone.now #=> "Fri, 20 Jun 2014 14:35:00 EDT -04:00" > time.in_time_zone("America/Los_Angeles") #=> "Fri, 20 Jun 2014 11:35:00 PDT -07:00"
Core Extensions
Array
Array#from Array#to
Array#from Array#to > array = [1, 2, 3, 4] >
array.from(2) #=> [3, 4] > array.to(2) #=> [1,2,3]
Array#second Array#third Array#fourth Array#fifth Array#forty_two
Array Access > array = (1..100).to_a > array.first #=> 1
> array.second #=> 2 > array.third #=> 3 > array.fourth #=> 4 > array.fifth #=> 5 > array.forty_two #=> 42
Array#to_sentence
Array#to_sentence > fruits = %w(banana strawberry kiwi) > fruits.to_sentence #=>
"banana, strawberry, and kiwi > sports = %w(football baseball) > sports.to_sentence #=> "football and baseball"
Array#in_groups_of Array#in_groups
Array#in_group_of > array = (1..10).to_a > array.in_group_of(3) # => [[1,
2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, nil, nil]]
Array#in_groups > array = (1..10).to_a > array.in_groups(3) #=> [[1, 2,
3, 4], [5, 6, 7, nil], [8, 9, 10, nil]]
