Provides DSL for "modifying immutable objects"

A Sass library for building immutable and namespaced BEM-style CSS objects

Sometimes, your objects are only data and no behaviour. These are value objects, and they are defined by their _contents_. These objects are immutable, so it is safe to let them propagate throughout the system. Being immutable, value objects cannot be modified; their contents are set once on initialisation. Also, being identified by their contents, two entities with the same contents are considered equal.

Class Iri helps you build a URI and then modify its parts via a simple immutable fluent interface. It always returns a new object instead of changing the existing one. This makes the object safer and much easier to reuse.

The Filepath class provides immutable objects with dozens of convenience methods for common operations such as calculating relative paths, concatenating paths, finding all the files in a directory or modifying all the extensions of a list of filenames at once.

A clean, immutable Ruby interface for working with piece identifiers in PNN format. PNN provides a consistent and rule-agnostic notation for representing pieces in abstract strategy board games like chess, shogi, and xiangqi. Features include state modifiers for enhanced/diminished/intermediate pieces, ownership changes, and comprehensive validation. Perfect for game engines, analysis tools, and educational applications.

PNN (Piece Name Notation) provides a rule-agnostic, scalable naming system for identifying abstract strategy board game pieces. This gem implements the PNN Specification v1.0.0 with a modern Ruby interface featuring immutable piece name objects and functional programming principles. PNN uses canonical ASCII names with optional state modifiers and optional terminal markers (e.g., "KING", "queen", "+ROOK", "-pawn", "KING^", "+GENERAL^") to unambiguously refer to game pieces across variants and traditions. Ideal for engines, protocols, and tools that need clear and extensible piece identifiers.

Parse and generate Portable Action Notation (PAN) strings for representing atomic actions in abstract strategy board games including chess, shogi, xiangqi, and others. PAN provides an intuitive operator-based syntax with six core operators: "-" (move to empty square), "+" (capture), "~" (special moves with side effects), "*" (drop to board), "." (drop with capture), and "=" (in-place transformation), plus "..." (pass turn). Supports coordinates via CELL specification and piece identifiers via EPIN specification. Handles transformations ("e7-e8=Q"), enhanced/diminished states ("+R", "-P"), and style derivation markers ("K'"). Provides comprehensive validation, immutable action objects, and functional API design. Examples: "e2-e4" (move), "d1+f3" (capture), "e1~g1" (castling), "P*e5" (drop), "e7-e8=Q" (promotion), "..." (pass), "+d4" (static capture), "e4=+P" (modify).

Value Value is a library for defining immutable value objects in Ruby. A value object is an object whose equality to other objects is determined by its value, not its identity, think dates and amounts of money. A value object should also be immutable, as you don’t want the date “2013-04-22” itself to change but the current date to change from “2013-04-22” to “2013-04-23”. That is, you don’t want entries in a calendar for 2013-04-22 to move to 2013-04-23 simply because the current date changes from 2013-04-22 to 2013-04-23. A value object consists of one or more attributes stored in instance variables. Value sets up an #initialize method for you that let’s you set these attributes, as, value objects being immutable, this’ll be your only chance to do so. Value also adds equality checks ‹#==› and ‹#eql?› (which are themselves equivalent), a ‹#hash› method, a nice ‹#inspect› method, and a protected attribute reader for each attribute. You may of course add any additional methods that your value object will benefit from. That’s basically all there’s too it. Let’s now look at using the Value library. § Usage You create value object class by invoking ‹#Value› inside the class (module) you wish to make into a value object class. Let’s create a class that represent points on a plane: class Point Value :x, :y end A ‹Point› is thus a value object consisting of two sub-values ‹x› and ‹y› (the coordinates). Just from invoking ‹#Value›, a ‹Point› object will have a constructor that takes two arguments to set instance variables ‹@x› and ‹@y›, equality checks ‹#==› and ‹#eql?› (which are the same), a ‹#hash› method, a nice ‹#inspect› method, and two protected attribute readers ‹#x› and ‹#y›. We can thus already creat ‹Point›s: origo = Point.new(0, 0) The default of making the attribute readers protected is often good practice, but for a ‹Point› it probably makes sense to be able to access its coordinates: class Point public(*attributes) end This’ll make all attributes of ‹Point› public. You can of course choose to only make certain attributes public: class Point public :x end Note that this public is standard Ruby functionality. Adding a method to ‹Point› is of course also possible and very much Rubyish: class Point def distance(other) Math.sqrt((other.x - x)**2 + (other.y - y)**2) end end For some value object classes you might want to support optional attributes. This is done by providing a default value for the attribute, like so: class Money Value :amount, [:currency, :USD] end Here, the ‹currency› attribute will default to ‹:USD›. You can create ‹Money› via dollars = Money.new(2) but also kronor = Money.new(2, :SEK) All required attributes must come before any optional attributes. Splat attributes are also supported: class List Value :'*elements' end empty = List.new suits = List.new(:spades, :hearts, :diamonds, :clubs) Splat attributes are optional. Finally, block attributes are also available: class Block Value :'&block' end block = Block.new{ |e| e * 2 } Block attributes are optional. Comparison beyond ‹#==› is possible by specifingy the ‹:comparable› option to ‹#Value›, listing one or more attributes that should be included in the comparison: class Vector Value :a, :b, :comparable => :a end Note that equality (‹#==› and ‹#eql?›) is always defined based on all attributes, regardless of arguments to ‹:comparable›. Here we say that comparisons between ‹Vector›s should be made between the values of the ‹a› attribute only. We can also make comparisons between all attributes of a value object: class Vector Value :a, :b, :comparable => true end To sum things up, let’s use all possible arguments to ‹#Value› at once: class Method Value :file, :line, [:name, 'unnamed'], :'*args', :'&block', :comparable => [:file, :line] end A ‹Method› consists of file and line information, a possible name, some arguments, possibly a block, and is comparable on the file and line on which they appear.

U U extends Ruby’s Unicode support. It provides a string class called U::String with an interface that mimics that of the String class in Ruby 2.0, but that can also be used from both Ruby 1.8. This interface also has more complete Unicode support and never modifies the receiver. Thus, a U::String is an immutable value object. U comes with complete and very accurate documentation¹. The documentation can realistically also be used as a reference to the Ruby String API and may actually be preferable, as it’s a lot more explicit and complete than the documentation that comes with Ruby. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/ § Installation Install u with % gem install u § Usage Usage is basically the following: require 'u-1.0' a = 'äbc' a.upcase # ⇒ 'äBC' a.u.upcase # ⇒ 'ÄBC' That is, you require the library, then you invoke #u on a String. This’ll give you a U::String that has much better Unicode support than a normal String. It’s important to note that U only uses UTF-8, which means that #u will try to #encode the String as such. This shouldn’t be an issue in most cases, as UTF-8 is now more or less the universal encoding – and rightfully so. As U::Strings¹ are immutable value objects, there’s also a U::Buffer² available for building U::Strings efficiently. See the API³ for more complete usage information. The following sections will only cover the extensions and differences that U::String exhibit from Ruby’s built-in String class. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/ ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/Buffer/ ³ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/ § Unicode Properties There are quite a few property-checking interrogators that let you check if all characters in a U::String have the given Unicode property: • #alnum?¹ • #alpha?² • #assigned?³ • #case_ignorable?⁴ • #cased?⁵ • #cntrl?⁶ • #defined?⁷ • #digit?⁸ • #graph?⁹ • #newline?¹⁰ • #print?¹¹ • #punct?¹² •

http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#zero_width-p-instance-method Similar to these methods are • #folded?¹ • #lower?² • #upper?³ which check whether a ‹U::String› has been cased in a given manner. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#folded-p-instance-method ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#lower-p-instance-method ³ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#upper-p-instance-method There’s also a #normalized?¹ method that checks whether a ‹U::String› has been normalized on a given form. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#normalized-p-instance-method You can also access certain Unicode properties of the characters of a U::String: • #canonical_combining_class¹ •

http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#word_break-instance-method § Locale-specific Comparisons Comparisons of U::Strings respect the current locale (and also allow you to specify a locale to use): ‹#<=>›¹, #casecmp², and #collation_key³. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#comparison-operator ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#casecmp-instance-method ³ See

== ICU4R - ICU Unicode bindings for Ruby ICU4R is an attempt to provide better Unicode support for Ruby, where it lacks for a long time. Current code is mostly rewritten string.c from Ruby 1.8.3. ICU4R is Ruby C-extension binding for ICU library[1] and provides following classes and functionality: * UString: - String-like class with internal UTF16 storage; - UCA rules for UString comparisons (<=>, casecmp); - encoding(codepage) conversion; \ - Unicode normalization; - transliteration, also rule-based; Bunch of locale-sensitive functions: - upcase/downcase; - string collation; \ - string search; - iterators over text line/word/char/sentence breaks; \ - message formatting (number/currency/string/time); - date and number parsing. * URegexp - unicode regular expressions. * UResourceBundle - access to resource bundles, including ICU locale data. * UCalendar - date manipulation and timezone info. * UConverter - codepage conversions API * UCollator - locale-sensitive string comparison == Install and usage > ruby extconf.rb > make && make check > make install Now, in your scripts just require 'icu4r'. To create RDoc, run > sh tools/doc.sh == Requirements To build and use ICU4R you will need GCC and ICU v3.4 libraries[2]. == Differences from Ruby String and Regexp classes === UString vs String 1. UString substring/index methods use UTF16 codeunit indexes, not code points. 2. UString supports most methods from String class. Missing methods are: capitalize, capitalize!, swapcase, swapcase! %, center, ljust, rjust chomp, chomp!, chop, chop! \ count, delete, delete!, squeeze, squeeze!, tr, tr!, tr_s, tr_s! crypt, intern, sum, unpack dump, each_byte, each_line hex, oct, to_i, to_sym reverse, reverse! succ, succ!, next, next!, upto 3. Instead of String#% method, UString#format is provided. See FORMATTING for short reference. 4. UStrings can be created via String.to_u(encoding='utf8') or global u(str,[encoding='utf8']) calls. Note that +encoding+ parameter must be value of String class. 5. There's difference between character grapheme, codepoint and codeunit. See UNICODE reports for gory details, but in short: locale dependent notion of character can be presented using more than one codepoint - base letter and combining (accents) (also possible more than one!), and each codepoint can require more than one codeunit to store (for UTF8 codeunit size is 8bit, though \ some codepoints require up to 4bytes). So, UString has normalization and locale dependent break iterators. 6. Currently UString doesn't include Enumerable module. 7. UString index/[] methods which accept URegexp, throw exception if Regexp passed. 8. UString#<=>, UString#casecmp use UCA rules. === URegexp UString uses ICU regexp library. Pattern syntax is described in [./docs/UNICODE_REGEXPS] and ICU docs. There are some differences between processing in Ruby Regexp and URegexp: 1. When UString#sub, UString#gsub are called with block, special vars ($~, $&, $1, ...) aren't set, as their values are processed through deep ruby core code. Instead, block receives UMatch object, which is essentially immutable array of matching groups: "test".u.gsub(ure("(e)(.)")) do |match| \ puts match[0] # => 'es' <--> $& puts match[1] # => 'e' \ <--> $1 puts match[2] # => 's' <--> $2 end 2. In URegexp search pattern backreferences are in form \n (\1, \2, ...), in replacement string - in form $1, $2, ... NOTE: URegexp considers char to be a digit NOT ONLY ASCII (0x0030-0x0039), but any Unicode char, which has property Decimal digit number (Nd), e.g.: a = [?$, 0x1D7D9].pack("U*").u * 2 puts a.inspect_names <U000024>DOLLAR SIGN <U01D7D9>MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK DIGIT ONE <U000024>DOLLAR SIGN <U01D7D9>MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK DIGIT ONE puts "abracadabra".u.gsub(/(b)/.U, a) abbracadabbra \ 3. One can create URegexp using global Kernel#ure function, Regexp#U, Regexp#to_u, or from UString using URegexp.new, e.g: /pattern/.U =~ "string".u 4. There are differences about Regexp and URegexp multiline matching options: t = "text\ntest" # ^,$ handling : URegexp multiline <-> Ruby default t.u =~ ure('^\w+$', URegexp::MULTILINE) => #<UMatch:0xf6f7de04 @ranges=[0..3], @cg=[\u0074\u0065\u0078\u0074]> t =~ /^\w+$/ => 0 # . matches \n : URegexp DOTALL <-> /m t.u =~ ure('.+test', URegexp::DOTALL) \ => #<UMatch:0xf6fa4d88 ... t.u =~ /.+test/m 5. UMatch.range(idx) returns range for capturing group idx. This range is in codeunits. === References 1. ICU Official Homepage http://ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/ 2.
