RDoc::RI::Paths

The directories where ri data lives. Paths can be enumerated via ::each, or queried individually via ::system_dir, ::site_dir, ::home_dir and ::gem_dir.

Public Class Methods

each(system = true, site = true, home = true, gems = :latest, *extra_dirs) click to toggle source

Iterates over each selected path yielding the directory and type.

Yielded types:

:system

Where Ruby's ri data is stored. Yielded when system is true

:site

Where ri for installed libraries are stored. Yielded when site is true. Normally no ri data is stored here.

:home

~/.rdoc. Yielded when home is true.

:gem

ri data for an installed gem. Yielded when gems is true.

:extra

ri data directory from the command line. Yielded for each entry in extra_dirs

 
               # File rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 47
def self.each system = true, site = true, home = true, gems = :latest, *extra_dirs # :yields: directory, type
  return enum_for __method__, system, site, home, gems, *extra_dirs unless
    block_given?

  extra_dirs.each do |dir|
    yield dir, :extra
  end

  yield system_dir,  :system if system
  yield site_dir,    :site   if site
  yield home_dir,    :home   if home and HOMEDIR

  gemdirs(gems).each do |dir|
    yield dir, :gem
  end if gems

  nil
end
gem_dir(name, version) click to toggle source

The ri directory for the gem with gem_name.

 
               # File rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 69
def self.gem_dir name, version
  req = Gem::Requirement.new "= #{version}"

  spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_name name, req

  File.join spec.doc_dir, 'ri'
end
gemdirs(filter = :latest) click to toggle source

The latest installed gems' ri directories. filter can be :all or :latest.

A filter :all includes all versions of gems and includes gems without ri documentation.

 
               # File rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 84
def self.gemdirs filter = :latest
  ri_paths = {}

  all = Gem::Specification.map do |spec|
    [File.join(spec.doc_dir, 'ri'), spec.name, spec.version]
  end

  if filter == :all then
    gemdirs = []

    all.group_by do |_, name, _|
      name
    end.sort_by do |group, _|
      group
    end.map do |group, items|
      items.sort_by do |_, _, version|
        version
      end.reverse_each do |dir,|
        gemdirs << dir
      end
    end

    return gemdirs
  end

  all.each do |dir, name, ver|
    next unless File.exist? dir

    if ri_paths[name].nil? or ver > ri_paths[name].first then
      ri_paths[name] = [ver, name, dir]
    end
  end

  ri_paths.sort_by { |_, (_, name, _)| name }.map { |k, v| v.last }
rescue LoadError
  []
end
home_dir() click to toggle source

The location of the rdoc data in the user's home directory.

Like ::system, ri data in the user's home directory is rare and predates libraries distributed via RubyGems. ri data is rarely generated into this directory.

 
               # File rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 129
def self.home_dir
  HOMEDIR
end
path(system = true, site = true, home = true, gems = :latest, *extra_dirs) click to toggle source

Returns existing directories from the selected documentation directories as an Array.

See also ::each

 
               # File rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 139
def self.path(system = true, site = true, home = true, gems = :latest, *extra_dirs)
  path = raw_path system, site, home, gems, *extra_dirs

  path.select { |directory| File.directory? directory }
end
raw_path(system, site, home, gems, *extra_dirs) click to toggle source

Returns selected documentation directories including nonexistent directories.

See also ::each

 
               # File rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 151
def self.raw_path(system, site, home, gems, *extra_dirs)
  path = []

  each(system, site, home, gems, *extra_dirs) do |dir, type|
    path << dir
  end

  path.compact
end
site_dir() click to toggle source

The location of ri data installed into the site dir.

Historically this was available for documentation installed by Ruby libraries predating RubyGems. It is unlikely to contain any content for modern Ruby installations.

 
               # File rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 168
def self.site_dir
  File.join BASE, 'site'
end
system_dir() click to toggle source

The location of the built-in ri data.

This data is built automatically when `make` is run when Ruby is installed. If you did not install Ruby by hand you may need to install the documentation yourself. Please consult the documentation for your package manager or Ruby installer for details. You can also use the rdoc-data gem to install system ri data for common versions of Ruby.

 
               # File rdoc/ri/paths.rb, line 181
def self.system_dir
  File.join BASE, 'system'
end
