Set date-time format.
datetime_format
A string suitable for passing to strftime.
Returns the date format being used. See datetime_format=
Returns a Hash using named capture.
A key of the hash is a name of the named captures. A value of the hash is a string of last successful capture of corresponding group.
m = /(?<a>.)(?<b>.)/.match("01") m.named_captures #=> {"a" => "0", "b" => "1"} m = /(?<a>.)(?<b>.)?/.match("0") m.named_captures #=> {"a" => "0", "b" => nil} m = /(?<a>.)(?<a>.)/.match("01") m.named_captures #=> {"a" => "1"} m = /(?<a>x)|(?<a>y)/.match("x") m.named_captures #=> {"a" => "x"}
Returns a Method of superclass which would be called when super is used or nil if there is no method on superclass.
Returns a Method of superclass which would be called when super is used or nil if there is no method on superclass.
Closes the incoming port and returns its previous state. All further attempts to Ractor.receive in the ractor, and send to the ractor will fail with Ractor::ClosedError.
r = Ractor.new {sleep(500)} r.close_incoming #=> false r.close_incoming #=> true r.send('test') # Ractor::ClosedError (The incoming-port is already closed)
Closes the outgoing port and returns its previous state. All further attempts to Ractor.yield in the ractor, and take from the ractor will fail with Ractor::ClosedError.
r = Ractor.new {sleep(500)} r.close_outgoing #=> false r.close_outgoing #=> true r.take # Ractor::ClosedError (The outgoing-port is already closed)
Make obj shareable between ractors.
obj and all the objects it refers to will be frozen, unless they are already shareable.
If copy keyword is true, the method will copy objects before freezing them This is safer option but it can take be slower.
Note that the specification and implementation of this method are not mature and may be changed in the future.
obj = ['test'] Ractor.shareable?(obj) #=> false Ractor.make_shareable(obj) #=> ["test"] Ractor.shareable?(obj) #=> true obj.frozen? #=> true obj[0].frozen? #=> true # Copy vs non-copy versions: obj1 = ['test'] obj1s = Ractor.make_shareable(obj1) obj1.frozen? #=> true obj1s.object_id == obj1.object_id #=> true obj2 = ['test'] obj2s = Ractor.make_shareable(obj2, copy: true) obj2.frozen? #=> false obj2s.frozen? #=> true obj2s.object_id == obj2.object_id #=> false obj2s[0].object_id == obj2[0].object_id #=> false
See also the “Shareable and unshareable objects” section in the Ractor class docs.
Returns an arbitrary seed value. This is used by Random.new when no seed value is specified as an argument.
Random.new_seed #=> 115032730400174366788466674494640623225
Returns an array of the names of the thread-local variables (as Symbols).
thr = Thread.new do Thread.current.thread_variable_set(:cat, 'meow') Thread.current.thread_variable_set("dog", 'woof') end thr.join #=> #<Thread:0x401b3f10 dead> thr.thread_variables #=> [:dog, :cat]
Note that these are not fiber local variables. Please see Thread#[] and Thread#thread_variable_get for more details.
Returns true if the given string (or symbol) exists as a thread-local variable.
me = Thread.current me.thread_variable_set(:oliver, "a") me.thread_variable?(:oliver) #=> true me.thread_variable?(:stanley) #=> false
Note that these are not fiber local variables. Please see Thread#[] and Thread#thread_variable_get for more details.
Compiled source code (String) on *eval methods on the :script_compiled event. If loaded from a file, it will return nil.
Returns an array of the names of global variables. This includes special regexp global variables such as $~ and $+, but does not include the numbered regexp global variables ($1, $2, etc.).
global_variables.grep /std/ #=> [:$stdin, :$stdout, :$stderr]
Controls tracing of assignments to global variables. The parameter symbol identifies the variable (as either a string name or a symbol identifier). cmd (which may be a string or a Proc object) or block is executed whenever the variable is assigned. The block or Proc object receives the variable’s new value as a parameter. Also see Kernel::untrace_var.
trace_var :$_, proc {|v| puts "$_ is now '#{v}'" } $_ = "hello" $_ = ' there'
produces:
$_ is now 'hello' $_ is now ' there'
Removes tracing for the specified command on the given global variable and returns nil. If no command is specified, removes all tracing for that variable and returns an array containing the commands actually removed.
Yields self to the block and returns the result of the block.
"my string".yield_self {|s| s.upcase } #=> "MY STRING"
Good usage for then is value piping in method chains:
require 'open-uri' require 'json' construct_url(arguments). then {|url| URI(url).read }. then {|response| JSON.parse(response) }
Ruby tries to load the library named string relative to the requiring file’s path. If the file’s path cannot be determined a LoadError is raised. If a file is loaded true is returned and false otherwise.
Returns the names of the current local variables.
fred = 1 for i in 1..10 # ... end local_variables #=> [:fred, :i]
Returns an array containing truthy elements returned by the block.
With a block given, calls the block with successive elements; returns an array containing each truthy value returned by the block:
(0..9).filter_map {|i| i * 2 if i.even? } # => [0, 4, 8, 12, 16] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.filter_map {|key, value| key if value.even? } # => [:foo, :baz]
When no block given, returns an Enumerator.
Returns an array of flattened objects returned by the block.
With a block given, calls the block with successive elements; returns a flattened array of objects returned by the block:
[0, 1, 2, 3].flat_map {|element| -element } # => [0, -1, -2, -3] [0, 1, 2, 3].flat_map {|element| [element, -element] } # => [0, 0, 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3] [[0, 1], [2, 3]].flat_map {|e| e + [100] } # => [0, 1, 100, 2, 3, 100] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.flat_map {|key, value| [key, value] } # => [:foo, 0, :bar, 1, :baz, 2]
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
Alias: collect_concat.
Calls the block with each successive overlapped n-tuple of elements; returns self:
a = [] (1..5).each_cons(3) {|element| a.push(element) } a # => [[1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5]] a = [] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2, bam: 3} h.each_cons(2) {|element| a.push(element) } a # => [[[:foo, 0], [:bar, 1]], [[:bar, 1], [:baz, 2]], [[:baz, 2], [:bam, 3]]]
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
Calls the block with successive elements as long as the block returns a truthy value; returns an array of all elements after that point:
(1..4).drop_while{|i| i < 3 } # => [3, 4] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} a = h.drop_while{|element| key, value = *element; value < 2 } a # => [[:baz, 2]]
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
