YAML::DBM

YAML + DBM = YDBM

YAML::DBM provides the same interface as ::DBM.

However, while DBM only allows strings for both keys and values, this library allows one to use most Ruby objects for values by first converting them to YAML. Keys must be strings.

Conversion to and from YAML is performed automatically.

See the documentation for ::DBM and ::YAML for more information.

Public Instance Methods

ydbm[key] → value click to toggle source

Return value associated with key from database.

Returns nil if there is no such key.

See fetch for more information.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 29
def []( key )
    fetch( key )
end
            
ydbm[key] = value click to toggle source

Set key to value in database.

value will be converted to YAML before storage.

See store for more information.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 41
def []=( key, val )
    store( key, val )
end
            
delete(key) click to toggle source

Deletes value from database associated with key.

Returns value or nil.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 102
def delete( key )
    v = super( key )
    if String === v
        v = YAML.load( v )
    end
    v
end
            
delete_if { |key, value| ... } click to toggle source

Calls the given block once for each key, value pair in the database. Deletes all entries for which the block returns true.

Returns self.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 117
def delete_if # :yields: [key, value]
    del_keys = keys.dup
    del_keys.delete_if { |k| yield( k, fetch( k ) ) == false }
    del_keys.each { |k| delete( k ) }
    self
end
            
each() click to toggle source
Alias for: each_pair
each_pair { |key, value| ... } click to toggle source

Calls the given block once for each key, value pair in the database.

Returns self.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 140
def each_pair # :yields: [key, value]
    keys.each { |k| yield k, fetch( k ) }
    self
end
            
Also aliased as: each
each_value { |value| ... } click to toggle source

Calls the given block for each value in database.

Returns self.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 151
def each_value # :yields: value

    self
end
            
fetch( key, ifnone = nil ) click to toggle source
fetch( key ) { |key| ... }

Return value associated with key.

If there is no value for key and no block is given, returns ifnone.

Otherwise, calls block passing in the given key.

See ::DBM#fetch for more information.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 56
def fetch( keystr, ifnone = nil )
    begin
        val = super( keystr )
        return YAML.load( val ) if String === val
    rescue IndexError
    end
    if block_given?

    else
        ifnone
    end
end
            
has_value?(value) click to toggle source

Returns true if specified value is found in the database.

    return false
end
            
index( keystr ) click to toggle source

Deprecated, used YAML::DBM#key instead.


Note: YAML::DBM#index makes warning from internal of ::DBM#index. It says 'DBM#index is deprecated; use DBM#key', but DBM#key behaves not same as DBM#index.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 76
def index( keystr )
    super( keystr.to_yaml )
end
            
invert → hash click to toggle source

Returns a Hash (not a DBM database) created by using each value in the database as a key, with the corresponding key as its value.

Note that all values in the hash will be Strings, but the keys will be actual objects.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 181
def invert
    h = {}
    keys.each { |k| h[ self.fetch( k ) ] = k }
    h
end
            
key(value) → string click to toggle source

Returns the key for the specified value.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 84
def key( keystr )
    invert[keystr]
end
            
reject { |key, value| ... } click to toggle source

Converts the contents of the database to an in-memory Hash, then calls Hash#reject with the specified code block, returning a new Hash.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 129

    hsh = self.to_hash
    hsh.reject { |k,v| yield k, v }
end
            
replace(hash) → ydbm click to toggle source

Replaces the contents of the database with the contents of the specified object. Takes any object which implements the each_pair method, including Hash and DBM objects.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 193
def replace( hsh )
    clear
    update( hsh )
end
            
select { |key, value| ... } click to toggle source
select(*keys)

If a block is provided, returns a new array containing [key, value] pairs for which the block returns true.

Otherwise, same as values_at

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 219
def select( *keys )
    if block_given?

The order in which values are removed/returned is not guaranteed.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/yaml/dbm.rb, line 205
def shift
    a = super
    a[1] = YAML.load( a[1] ) if a

def store( key, val )
    super( key, val.to_yaml )
    val
end
