Overview

Base class for the RDoc code tree.

We contain the common stuff for contexts (which are containers) and other elements (methods, attributes and so on)

Here’s the tree of the CodeObject subclasses:

Context
- RDoc::TopLevel
- RDoc::ClassModule
  - RDoc::AnonClass (never used so far)
  - RDoc::NormalClass
  - RDoc::NormalModule
  - RDoc::SingleClass
MethodAttr
- RDoc::Attr
- RDoc::AnyMethod
  - RDoc::GhostMethod
  - RDoc::MetaMethod
Alias
Constant
Mixin
- RDoc::Require
- RDoc::Include

#display? ⇒ `Boolean` (readonly)

Should this CodeObject be displayed in output?

A code object should be displayed if:

The item didn’t have a nodoc or wasn’t in a container that had nodoc
The item wasn’t ignored
The item has documentation and was not suppressed

attr_reader :document_children

#document_children=(document_children) (rw)

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 45


attr_reader :document_self

#document_self=(document_self) (rw)

Enables or disables documentation of this CodeObject unless it has been turned off by :enddoc:. If the argument is nil it means the documentation is turned off by :nodoc:.

Turns documentation on/off, and turns on/off #document_self and #document_children.

Once documentation has been turned off (by :enddoc:), the object will refuse to turn #document_self or #document_children on, so :doc: and :start_doc: directives will have no effect in the current file.

Instance Method Details

#each_parent

Yields each parent of this CodeObject. See also ClassModule#each_ancestor

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 224


def each_parent
  code_object = self

  while code_object = code_object.parent do
    yield code_object
  end

  self
end

#file_name

File name where this CodeObject was found.

#ignore

Use this to ignore a CodeObject and all its children until found again (#record_location is called). An ignored item will not be displayed in documentation.

See github issue #55

The ignored status is temporary in order to allow implementation details to be hidden. At the end of processing a file RDoc allows all classes and modules to add new documentation to previously created classes.

If a class was ignored (via stopdoc) then reopened later with additional documentation it should be displayed. If a class was ignored and never reopened it should not be displayed. The ignore flag allows this to occur.

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 280


def ignore
  return unless @track_visibility

  @ignored = true

  stop_doc
end

#initialize_visibility

This method is for internal use only.

Initializes state for visibility of this CodeObject and its children.

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 127

#options

The options instance from the store this CodeObject is attached to, or a default options instance if the CodeObject is not attached.

This is used by Text#snippet

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 303


def options
  if @store and @store.rdoc then
    @store.rdoc.options
  else
    RDoc::Options.new

#parent_file_name

File name of our parent

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 337


def parent_file_name
  @parent ? @parent.base_name : '(unknown)'
end

#parent_name

Name of our parent

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 344


def parent_name
  @parent ? @parent.full_name : '(unknown)'
end

#record_location(top_level)

Records the TopLevel (file) where this code object was defined

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 351


def record_location top_level
  @ignored    = false
  @suppressed = false

end

#start_doc

Enable capture of documentation unless documentation has been turned off by :enddoc:

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 371


def start_doc
  return if @done_documenting

  @document_self = true

# File 'lib/rdoc/code_object.rb', line 383


def stop_doc
  return unless @track_visibility

  @document_self = false

end

#suppress

Use this to suppress a CodeObject and all its children until the next file it is seen in or documentation is discovered. A suppressed item with documentation will be displayed while an ignored item with documentation may not be displayed.
