class Grape::Validations::Types::CustomTypeCollectionCoercer

Instances of this class may be passed to Virtus::Attribute.build as the :coercer option, to handle collections of types that provide their own parsing (and optionally, type-checking) functionality.

See {CustomTypeCoercer} for details on types that will be supported by this by this coercer. This coercer works in the same way as CustomTypeCoercer except that it expects to receive an array of strings to coerce and will return an array (or optionally, a set) of coerced values.

CustomTypeCoercer is already capable of providing type checking for arrays where an independent coercion method is supplied. As such, CustomTypeCollectionCoercer does not allow for such a method to be supplied independently of the type.

Public Class Methods

new(type, set = false) click to toggle source

A new coercer for collections of the given type.

@param type [Class,#parse]

type to which items in the array should be coerced.
Must implement a +parse+ method which accepts a string,
and for the purposes of type-checking it may either be
a class, or it may implement a +coerced?+, +parsed?+ or
+call+ method (in that order of precedence) which
accepts a single argument and returns true if the given
array item has been coerced correctly.

@param set [Boolean]

when true, a +Set+ will be returned by {#call} instead
of an +Array+ and duplicate items will be discarded.

Public Instance Methods

call(value) click to toggle source

This method is called from somewhere within Virtus::Attribute::coerce in order to coerce the given value.

@param value [Array<String>] an array of values to be coerced @return [Array,Set] the coerced result. May be an Array or a

+Set+ depending on the setting given to the constructor
# File lib/grape/validations/types/custom_type_collection_coercer.rb, line 48
def call(value)
  coerced = value.map { |item| super(item) }

  @set ? Set.new(coerced) : coerced
end
success?(primitive, value) click to toggle source

This method is called from somewhere within Virtus::Attribute::value_coerced? in order to assert that the all of the values in the array have been coerced successfully.

@param primitive [Axiom::Types::Type] primitive type for

the coercion as deteced by axiom-types' inference system.

@param value [Enumerable] a coerced result returned from {#call} @return [true,false] whether or not all of the coerced values in

the collection satisfy type requirements.
# File lib/grape/validations/types/custom_type_collection_coercer.rb, line 64
def success?(primitive, value)
  value.is_a?(@set ? Set : Array) &&
    value.all? { |item| super(primitive, item) }
