Introduction to classes in Ruby
Classes are at the heart of object-oriented programming (OOP). A class is a way of grouping related variables and functions into a single container. This container is called an "object". Put another way, a class is like a blueprint from which objects are created.Let's use a car blueprint as an example and define a simple class:
class Car
attr_accessor :color
end
In the above example:
- class is a keyword used to create classes;
- Car is the name of the class;
- attr_accessor is an attribute accessor, which is a method that allows us to read and write instance variables from outside the class (this will be explained later);
- :color is an attribute, which is a component of a class (such as a variable) which can be accessed from the outside;
- end ends the class declaration
Instances (objects)
Generally, in order to use a class, we need to create an instance. Continuing the car example, a class is a blueprint and an instance is an actual car. In other words, an instance is an object built from the blueprint provided by a class. The words instance and object are used interchangeably.
The syntax for instantiating a class is:
instance_name = ClassName.new
Let's try it with the class created above:
# Create an instance of the Car class
civic = Car.new
# Set a value for the color attribute
civic.color = "silver"
# Read the value of the color attribute
civic.color # Output: => "silver"
We could create any number of instances of the Car class and store them in a collection such as an array or a hash. Each instance could have a different value for the "color" attribute.
We named the object civic but we could have used any other name. Convention dictates that class names should be written in CamelCase and object names in snake_case.
Reflection: examining objects
Reflection, also known as introspection, is the ability to programmatically examine (inspect) classes, objects, methods, etc. In other words, the application provides information about its own code and state. That is useful in the context of metaprogramming, debugging and understanding code written by other people.
Inspecting objects
The inspect method returns a human-readable string representation of any object, including the class name, a hexadecimal representation of the object ID, and the names and values of the object's variables (instance variables).
class Meditation
def initialize
@name = "zazen"
@minutes = 40
end
end
m = Meditation.new
m.inspect # Output: => "#<Meditation:0x00000001c87e08 @name=\"zazen\", @minutes=40>"
When writing a class, we can override the inspect method to provide more useful information about its objects.
Testing if an object is an instance of a specific class
There are several ways to check whether an object is an instance of a particular class.
class Meditation
end
zazen = Meditation.new
Meditation === zazen # Output: => true
zazen.is_a? Meditation # Output: => true
zazen.instance_of? Meditation # Output: => true
Both === and is_a? methods return true if the object is an instance of the given class or any of its ancestors. The instance_of? method is stricter and only returns true if the object is an instance of that specific class, not an ancestor. The term "ancestor" is related to class inheritance and will be explained soon.
There is also the kind_of method, which is just a different name for is_a?.
Kernel.instance_method(:kind_of?) == Kernel.instance_method(:is_a?) # Output: => true
In the following example, we create one more instance, then get a list of all instances of the of the Meditation class.
kinhin = Meditation.new
ObjectSpace.each_object(Meditation) { |x| puts x }
Output:
#<Meditation:0x00000001dd85a0>
#<Meditation:0x00000001de1ba0>
The above output is a string representation of the two instances of the Meditation class (zazen and kinhin). We could use the above code, for instance, to read or write an attribute in all instances of a class.
Classes are also objects
Almost everything is an object in Ruby, even classes. All classes are instances of a built-in class called Class.
class Foo
end
# The newly created Foo class is an instance of the built-in Class class.
Foo.instance_of? Class # Output: => true
# Instances of the Foo class are, well, just instances of the Foo class…
f = Foo.new
f.instance_of? Foo # Output: => true
f.instance_of? Class # Output: => false
That may be easier to grasp when represented visually.
Class (built-in class)
|
|--- Foo (instance of Class)
|
|--- f (instance of Foo)
When starting to learn OOP, it's easy to confuse instantiation with inheritance (which will be discussed later). However, they are completely different things. In the above example, the Foo class is an instance of the built-in Class named class. Foo is not a subclass of Class; there is no inheritance relationship between them.
Ruby's built-in classes are also instances of the Class class.
String.instance_of? Class # Output: => true
Integer.instance_of? Class # Output: => true
The initialize method
Every time an object is created (a class is instantiated), Ruby looks for a special method called initialize within the class. If it's there, it's automatically executed. Defining the initialize method is optional; if it's not defined, nothing happens.
The initialize method is often used to set default values to instance variables. In the example below, all new instances of the Car class are created with "black" as the default value for the color instance variable.
class Car
attr_accessor :color
def initialize
@color = "black"
end
end
c = Car.new
c.color # Output: => "black"
We can also add parameters when defining the initialize method. When instantiating a class, any arguments passed to the new method are received by the initialize method.
class Car
attr_accessor :color
def initialize(color)
@color = color
end
end
c = Car.new # Output: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 0, expected 1)
# The "silver" argument passed here will be received by the initialize method
c = Car.new "silver"
c.color # Output: => "silver"
initialize handles arguments like any other method. It can have positional parameters (required and optional), a single splat parameter, keyword parameters (required and optional) and a double splat parameter. It may also receive a block implicitly or have an explicit block parameter (prefixed with &). This post about methods explains how each type of parameter/argument works.
Note that Ruby implicitly makes initialize a private method and silently discards its return value.
Attributes and accessor methods
Attributes are class components that can be accessed from outside the object. They are known as properties in many other programming languages. Their values are accessible by using the "dot notation", as in object_name.attribute_name. Unlike Python and a few other languages, Ruby does not allow instance variables to be accessed directly from outside the object.
class Car
def initialize
@wheels = 4 # This is an instance variable
end
end
c = Car.new
c.wheels # Output: NoMethodError: undefined method `wheels' for #<Car:0x00000000d43500>
In the above example, c is an instance (object) of the Car class. We tried unsuccessfully to read the value of the wheels instance variable from outside the object. What happened is that Ruby attempted to call a method named wheels within the c object, but no such method was defined. In short, object_name.attribute_name tries to call a method named attribute_name within the object. To access the value of the wheels variable from the outside, we need to implement an instance method by that name, which will return the value of that variable when called. That's called an accessor method. In the general programming context, the usual way to access an instance variable from outside the object is to implement accessor methods, also known as getter and setter methods. A getter allows the value of a variable defined within a class to be read from the outside and a setter allows it to be written from the outside.
In the following example, we have added getter and setter methods to the Car class to access the wheels variable from outside the object. This is not the "Ruby way" of defining getters and setters; it serves only to illustrate what getter and setter methods do.
class Car
def wheels # getter method
@wheels
end
def wheels=(val) # setter method
@wheels = val
end
end
f = Car.new
f.wheels = 4 # The setter method was invoked
f.wheels # The getter method was invoked
# Output: => 4
The above example works and similar code is commonly used to create getter and setter methods in other languages. However, Ruby provides a simpler way to do this: three built-in methods called attr_reader, attr_writer and attr_acessor. The attr_reader method makes an instance variable readable from the outside, attr_writer makes it writeable, and attr_acessor makes it readable and writeable.
The above example can be rewritten like this.
class Car
attr_accessor :wheels
end
f = Car.new
f.wheels = 4
f.wheels # Output: => 4
In the above example, the wheels attribute will be readable and writable from outside the object. If instead of attr_accessor, we used attr_reader, it would be read-only. If we used attr_writer, it would be write-only. Those three methods are not getters and setters in themselves but, when called, they create getter and setter methods for us. They are methods that dynamically (programmatically) generate other methods; that's called metaprogramming.
The first (longer) example, which does not employ Ruby's built-in methods, should only be used when additional code is required in the getter and setter methods. For instance, a setter method may need to validate data or do some calculation before assigning a value to an instance variable.
It is possible to access (read and write) instance variables from outside the object, by using the instance_variable_get and instance_variable_set built-in methods. However, this is rarely justifiable and usually a bad idea, as bypassing encapsulation tends to wreak all sorts of havoc.
Inheritance
Trough inheritance, a class acquires (inherits) components from another class.
A class that inherits from another class is called subclass, also known as child class or derived class. The class that is inherited (where the inherited components are implemented) is called superclass or parent class. We will use these terms interchangeably throughout this post. You will also see the terms ancestor and descendant. Ancestors are all classes above a specific class in its inheritance hierarchy; descendants are all classes below it.
Usually, the superclass (parent) is more general and its subclasses (children) add further specialization. For instance, a class called Car may specify that cars have 4 wheels, a steering wheel and so on. This class may inherit from a class called Vehicle that implements the details of combustion engines and will also be inherited by the Motorcycle class. Another example is a Polygon class which contains common characteristics of all polygons and is inherited by other classes named Square and Triangle.
Some programming languages such as C++, Perl, and Python allow one class to inherit from multiple other classes; that is called multiple inheritance. Ruby does not support multiple inheritance. That means each class can only inherit from one other class. However, many classes can inherit from the same class.
Again, beware not to confuse inheritance with instantiating, as they are completely different things.
Method overriding
Method overriding allows a subclass to provide its own implementation of an inherited method. When there are two methods with the same name, one in the superclass and another on the subclass, the implementation of the subclass will override the one from the superclass. That happens only within the subclass, the original method implementation within the superclass is not affected.
class A
def meditate
puts "Practicing zazen…"
end
end
class B < A
def meditate
puts "Practicing kinhin…"
end
end
b = B.new
b.meditate # Output: Practicing kinhin…
The super keyword
As seen above, if both superclass and subclass have methods of the same name, the implementation of the subclass will prevail (inside the subclass). However, instead of overriding the implementation of the superclass, we might need to add extra functionality. Using the super keyword within the subclass allows us to do that; super calls the superclass implementation of the corresponding method. In other words, it allows the overriding method to call the overridden method.
class Zazen
def meditate
puts "Practicing Zazen…"
end
end
class Sitting < Zazen
def meditate
puts "Sitting…"
super # Calls the meditate method implemented in the parent class
puts "Getting up…"
end
end
s = Sitting.new
s.meditate
Output:
Sitting…
Practicing Zazen…
Getting up…
Notice how, in the example above, the statements from both meditate methods (implemented in both classes) were executed.
How super handles arguments
Regarding argument handling, the super keyword can behave in three ways:
When called with no arguments, super automatically passes any arguments received by the method from which it's called (at the subclass) to the corresponding method in the superclass.
class A
def some_method(*args)
puts "Received arguments: #{args}"
end
end
class B < A
def some_method(*args)
super
end
end
b = B.new
b.some_method("foo", "bar") # Output: Received arguments: ["foo", "bar"]
If called with empty parentheses (empty argument list), no arguments are passed to the corresponding method in the superclass, regardless of whether the method from which super was called (on the subclass) has received any arguments.
class A
def some_method(*args)
puts "Received arguments: #{args}"
end
end
class B < A
def some_method(*args)
super() # Notice the empty parentheses here
end
end
b = B.new
b.some_method("foo", "bar") # Output: Received arguments: [ ]
When called with an explicit argument list, it sends those arguments to the corresponding method in the superclass, regardless of whether the method from which super was called (on the subclass) has received any arguments.
class A
def some_method(*args)
puts "Received arguments: #{args}"
end
end
class B < A
def some_method(*args)
super("baz", "qux") # Notice that specific arguments were passed here
end
end
b = B.new
b.some_method("foo", "bar") # Output: Received arguments: ["baz", "qux"]
Reflection: examining the inheritance hierarchy of a class
Ruby provides reflective methods which return information about a class's inheritance chain.
class AsianReligion
end
class Buddhism < AsianReligion
end
class Zen < Buddhism
end
Let's suppose we need to identify the relationship between the above classes (regarding inheritance), while being unable to look at the above code.
Check if the Zen class is a descendant of the Buddism and AsianReligion classes:
Zen < Buddhism # Output: => true
Zen < AsianReligion # Output: => true
Identify the superclass of the Zen class:
Zen.superclass # Output: => Buddhism
Get a list of all ancestors of the Zen class. The ancestors method returns the whole inheritance hierarchy (Zen and all classes above it) and all the modules included in these classes. In the following example, we exclude any modules, leaving only ancestor classes.
Zen.ancestors - Zen.included_modules # Output => [Zen, Buddhism, AsianReligion, Object, BasicObject]
Notice how the three classes defined above are included, along with a couple of Ruby's built-in classes called Object and BasicObject. All classes inherit implicitly from these two built-in classes. However, explaining the Ruby Core Object Model is outside the scope of this post.
Rails provides the descendants and subclasses methods to list a class descendants and direct subclasses. Ruby does not provide a built-in method to do that. We can, however, use the following code; it returns the names of all descendants of the AsianReligion class (and the class itself).
ObjectSpace.each_object(AsianReligion.singleton_class).to_a
# Output: => [Buddhism, AsianReligion, Zen]
Polymorphism
Briefly put, polymorphism is to call the same method in different objects and get different results. We are actually calling different implementations of the method (entirely different methods with the same name). Hence, the different results.
There are three types of polymorphism: inheritance polymorphism, interface polymorphism, and abstract polymorphism. This post covers the first two but not the third, as it is usually implemented by using abstract classes, which are not supported by Ruby.
Inheritance Polymorphism
In Ruby, polymorphism is usually implemented through inheritance, as in the example below. Remember that if both child and parent classes define methods with the same name, the implementation of the subclass prevails, and the one from the superclass is overridden.
class Mammal
@@vertebrate = true
@@endothermic = true
@@fur = true
def make_sound
raise NotImplementedError, "The make_sound method should be implemented in the subclass."
end
end
class Cat < Mammal
end
class Dog < Mammal
def make_sound
puts "Woof"
end
end
c = Cat.new
c.make_sound # Output: NotImplementedError: The make_sound method should be implemented in the subclass.
d = Dog.new
d.make_sound # Output: Woof
In the example above, notice how both Cat and Dog classes are subclasses of Animal. To understand polymorphism, just look at the make_sound method implemented at the Animal class; it does nothing except making sure that all subclasses of Animal implement their own make_sound method.
Interface Polymorphism
Different methods with the same name are implemented in distinct classes and do different things. An example is the + method. Remember that, in Ruby, lots of operators such as + are implemented as methods. That means 2 + 3 is syntactic sugar (a convenient shortcut) for 2.+(3).
Different classes provide distinct implementations of the + method. When called on a string object, it will concatenate two operands:
"foo" + "bar" # Output: => "foobar"
When called on a float, it will sum two operands:
1.0 + 1.0 # Output: => 2.0
When called on an array, it will merge two operands into a single new array.
[ "foo", "bar" ] + [ "baz" ] # Output => ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
Each one of the three classes (String, Float, and Array) provides its own implementation of the + method. That means, the appropriate method (implementation) is always called, depending on the context. That is an example of interface polymorphism.
Duck Typing
Duck typed objects are defined by what they do, instead of their type. In other words, instead of requiring an object to be an instance of a particular class, we require it to respond to one or more specific methods. The term duck typing comes from the saying "if the object walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck".
The + method can also be used as an example of duck typing. In the following example, we created a method called sum, which takes two arguments; regardless of the types of the objects passed as arguments, it expects them to respond to the + method.
def sum(a, b)
a + b
end
# Integers, strings and arrays respond to the + method as expected
sum(1,1) # Output: => 2
sum("foo", "bar") # Output: => "foobar"
sum([1,2,3], [4,5]) # Output: => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# Hashes and ranges do not respond to the + method
sum({a:1}, {b:2}) # Output: NoMethodError: undefined method `+' for {:a=>1}:Hash
sum(0..1, 2..3) # Output: NoMethodError: undefined method `+' for 0..1:Range
Usually, we only check whether the object implements a method by a specific name. However, the method may exist but return something unexpected. That can be avoided by thoroughly testing our code, and most good developers will do just that.
Variable types
Ruby provides five types of variables: global, instance, class, local and constant. This post covers the last four plus class instance variables, which are a particular type of instance variable. Global variables are not covered because, in the vast majority of cases, using them is a bad practice.
Instance variables
Instance variables are defined within instance methods, and their names begin with @. Their value is only accessible within the specific object on which it was set. In other words, when we modify the value of an instance variable, the change only applies to that particular instance. Unlike local variables which are only available within the method where they were defined, instance variables are accessible by all methods within the object (instance methods of the class). Instance variables are the most commonly used type of variable in Ruby classes.
class Car
attr_reader :color
def set_color(color_receiverd_as_argument)
@color = color_receiverd_as_argument
end
end
car1 = Car.new
car1.color # Output: => nil
car1.set_color "black"
car1.color # Output: => "black"
car2 = Car.new
car2.set_color "silver"
car2.color # Output: => "silver"
In the example above, notice that:
- Trying to access an instance variable before it's initialized will not raise an exception. Its default value is nil.
- Changing the value of the color variable in one instance of the Car class does not affect the value of the same variable in the other instances.
class Car
def initialize
@wheels = 4
end
end
c = Car.new
c.instance_variables # Output: => [:@wheels]
Note that only initialized instance variables (those who were already given a value) are shown by the instance_variables method.
As seen earlier in this post, instance variables need accessor methods to be read and written from outside the object.
Class variables
Class variables are defined at the class level, outside any methods. Their names begin with @@, and their values can be read or written from within the class itself or any of its subclasses and instances. Class variables can be accessed by both class methods and instance methods (explained further below).
class Car
@@count = 0 # This is a class variable
def initialize
@@count += 1 # Increment the count each time the class is instantiated
puts @@count
end
# This is a getter method, used to read the @@count class variable from outside
def count
@@count
end
end
# Create 3 instances of the Car class
car1 = Car.new
car2 = Car.new
car3 = Car.new
car1.count # Output: => 3
car2.count # Output: => 3
car3.count # Output: => 3
In the example above, the @@count class variable is initialized (given a value) at the class level. Then, each time the Car class is instantiated, the initialize method is executed, and the value of @@count is incremented by 1. The count method is a getter, required to access the @@count class variable from outside the class. Note that accessor methods (explained above) such as attr_access, attr_read, and attr_write do not work with class variables. Rails provides accessor methods that work with class variables, named cattr_accessor, cattr_reader and cattr_writer.
Notice how @@count is accessible inside the initialize and count instance methods. Also, its value persists between all instances of the Car class.
Any changes in a class variable value will reflect on all of its instances and subclasses. Whether the value is changed in the class where the variable was defined or any of its descendants, it changes throughout the whole hierarchy.
Let's continue the example above:
class Sedan < Car
def mess_up_count
@@count = 345
end
end
s = Sedan.new
s.count # Output: => 4
s.mess_up_count
s.count # Output: => 345
car3.count # Output: => 345
In the example above, the Sedan subclass class inherited @@count and its value from Car. Then, we called the mess_up_count method, which changed the value of @@count to 345. Notice how the value of @@count in the car3 object (instance of the Car class) was also changed. This often causes undesired effects, and it's the reason why class variables are not often used in Ruby.
The class_variables method returns an array containing the names of all class variables in a specific class. It includes inherited class variables, as well as those defined within the class. If used with the false flag, like Car.class_variables(false), it omits inherited class variables.
Car.class_variables # Output: => [:@@count]
It is possible to access (read and write) class variables from outside the class, by using the class_variable_get and class_variable_set built-in methods. That's included in this post for the sake of completeness, but it's usually a terrible practice as it breaks encapsulation.
Class instance variables
Class instance variable names also begin with @. However, they are defined at class level, outside any methods. Class instance variables can only be accessed by class methods. They are shared amongst all instances of a class but not its subclasses. In other words, they are not inheritable. If the value of a class instance variable is changed in one instance of the class, all other instances are affected. Earlier we saw how all classes are instances of a built-in class called Class. That is what makes class instance variables possible.
class Vehicle
@count = 0 # This is a class instance variable
def initialize
self.class.increment_count
self.class.show_count
end
def self.increment_count # This is a class method
@count += 1
end
def self.show_count # This is a class method
puts @count
end
end
class Car < Vehicle
@count = 0
end
v1 = Vehicle.new # Output: 1
v2 = Vehicle.new # Output: 2
v3 = Vehicle.new # Output: 3
car1 = Car.new # Output: 1
car2 = Car.new # Output: 2
v3 = Vehicle.new # Output: 4
Let's review the example above. A class instance variable called @count is set in the Vehicle class, with an initial value of 0. Every time the Vehicle class is instantiated, the initialize method calls self.increment_count to increment the value of @count and self.show_count to return the new value. Then, we have the Car class, which is a subclass of Vehicle and inherits all of its methods. However, it does not inherit the @count class instance variable, as this type of variable is not inheritable. That's why the counter works within the Car class, but it has its own count.
Methods prefixed with self., such as self.increment_count and self.show_count, are class methods. That is the only kind of method capable of accessing class instance variables. We will get back to class methods soon.
Local variables
A local variable within a class is like any other local variable in Ruby. It is only accessible within the exact scope on which it's created. If defined within a method, it is only available inside that method.
class Car
def initialize
wheels = 4
end
def print_wheels
print wheels
end
end
c = Car.new
c.print_wheels # Output: NameError: undefined local variable or method `wheels'…
Constants
Constants are used to store values that should not be changed. Their names must start with an uppercase letter. By convention, most constant names are written in all uppercase letters with an underscore as word separator, such as SOME_CONSTANT.
Constants defined within classes can be accessed by all methods of that class. Those created outside a class can be accessed globally (within any method or class).
class Car
WHEELS = 4
def initialize
puts WHEELS
end
end
c = Car.new # Output: 4
Note that Ruby does not stop us from changing the value of a constant, it only issues a warning.
SOME_CONSTANT = "foo"
SOME_CONSTANT = "bar"
warning: already initialized constant SOME_CONSTANT
warning: previous definition of SOME_CONSTANT was here
In Ruby, all class and module names are constants, but convention dictates they should be written in camel case, such as SomeClass.
Constants can be accessed from outside the class, even within another class, by using the :: (double colon) operator. To access the WHEELS constant from outside the Car class, we would use Car::WHEELS. The :: operator allows constants, public instance methods and class methods to be accessed from outside the class or module on which they are defined.
A built-in method called private_constant makes constants private (accessible only within the class on which they were created). The syntax is as follows:
class Car
WHEELS = 4
private_constant:WHEELS
end
Car::WHEELS # Output: NameError: private constant Car::WHEELS referenced
Class methods and instance methods
Instance methods
All methods defined inside a class with the def method_name syntax are instance methods. They are the most common type of method seen in Ruby code.
class Koan
def say_koan
puts "What is your original face before you were born?"
end
end
k = Koan.new
k.say_koan # Output: What is your original face before you were born?
The built-in method instance_methods returns an array containing the names of all instance methods of a class. The false flag excludes inherited instance methods.
Koan.instance_methods(false) # Output: => [:say_koan]
Class methods
Class methods can be called directly on the class, without instantiating it. Their names are prefixed with self. As seen above, only class methods can access class instance variables.
class Zabuton
def self.stuff
puts "Stuffing zabuton…"
end
end
# Call the class method without instantiating the class
Zabuton.stuff # Output: Stuffing zabuton…
Zabuton::stuff # Output: Stuffing zabuton…
# Call the class method through an object
z = Zabuton.new
z.class.stuff # Output: Stuffing zabuton…
The following syntax can also be used to define class methods and will produce the same result as the above syntax. Remember this example; we will get back to it later to explain the meaning of class << self.
class Zabuton
class << self
def stuff
puts "Stuffing zabuton…"
end
end
end
We can also call a class method from within an instance method, by prefixing it with self.class, as in the following example.
class Zabuton
def initialize
self.class.stuff # calling the stuff class method
end
def self.stuff
puts "Stuffing zabuton…"
end
end
z = Zabuton.new # Output: Stuffing zabuton…
The built-in method called methods returns an array including the names of all class methods of a specific class. If used with the false flag, inherited class methods are omitted.
Zabuton.methods(false) # Output: => [:stuff]
Public, Private, and Protected methods
Ruby provides three types of methods: public, private, and protected.
Public Methods
Public methods are most widely used and can be accessed from outside the class.
class Koan
def say_koan
puts "How do you catch a flying bird without touching it?"
end
end
k = Koan.new
k.say_koan # Output: How do you catch a flying bird without touching it?
In the above example, we were able to call the say_koan method from outside the object because it is a public method. No further explanation is required as all examples in this post (up to this point) are public methods.
To list all public instance methods in a class, use the public_instance_methods built-in method. To list public class methods, use public_methods. As usual, the false flag excludes inherited methods.
Koan.public_instance_methods(false) # Output: => [:say_koan]
Private Methods
To define a private method, we use the private keyword, which is actually a built-in method implemented in a class called Module. A private method can only be called by another method within the class on which it was defined (or one of its subclasses).
class Koan
def call_say_koan
say_koan
end
private
def say_koan
puts "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
end
end
k = Koan.new
k.say_koan # Output: NoMethodError: private method `say_koan' called for #<Koan:0x000000021e7380>
k.call_say_koan # Output: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
In the above example, we could not call the say_koan private method directly (from outside the class), but we could call the call_say_koan public method which, in turn, called say_koan.
Also in the above example, the built-in private method was used with no arguments. Hence, all methods defined below it were made private.
The private method can also be used with previously defined method names (passed as symbols) as arguments.
class Foo
def some_method
end
private :some_method
end
In order to make a class method private, use the private_class_method keyword/method instead of private.
Private methods can't be called with a receiver, such as self. Trying to call the say_koan method with self as a receiver (self.say_koan) within call_say_koan would result in the following exception:
NoMethodError: private method `say_koan' called for #<Koan:0x000000021eb548>
As of Ruby 2.0, the respond_to? method will return false when given a private method as an argument.
k.respond_to? :say_koan # Output: => false
To list all private instance methods in a class, use the private_instance_methods built-in method. For private class methods, use private_methods.
Koan.private_instance_methods(false) # Output => [:say_koan]
Protected Methods
To define a protected method, we use the protected keyword (which is actually a method). Like private methods, protected methods can also be called by other methods within the class on which it was defined (or one of its subclasses). The difference is, protected methods can also be called from within other instances of the same class.
There is no such thing as a protected a class method, Ruby only supports protected instance methods.
Let's suppose we need to select a few meditators to participate in a study. To find the most experienced meditators, we need to compare their total hours of meditation. However, we don't want the number of hours to be visible.
class Meditator
def initialize(hours)
@hours = hours
end
def more_experienced?(other_person)
hours > other_person.hours
end
protected
attr_reader :hours # We have made the accessor protected
end
m1 = Meditator.new 3000
m2 = Meditator.new 5000
m2.more_experienced? m1 # Output: => true
m1.more_experienced? m2 # Output: => false
Similar code could be used to protect any kind of sensitive data from outside access (outside the class and its instances), although protected methods are not commonly employed in Ruby.
When called with no arguments (as in the above example), the protected method turns all methods defined below it into protected methods. It can also be used to protect previously defined methods, as in the following example.
class Foo
def some_method
end
protected :some_method
end
To list all protected instance methods in a class, use the protected_instance_methods built-in method. For protected class methods, use protected_methods.
Meditator.protected_instance_methods(false) # Output: => [:hours]
The self keyword
The self keyword is always available, and it points to the current object. In Ruby, all method calls consist of a message sent to a receiver. In other words, all methods are invoked on an object. The object on which the method is called is the receiver, and the method is the message. If we call "foo".upcase, the "foo" object is the receiver and upcase is the message. If we don't specify an object (a receiver) when calling a method, it is implicitly called on the self object.
Self keyword at class level
When used within a class but outside any instance methods, self refers to the class itself.
class Foo
@@self_at_class_level = self
def initialize
puts "self at class level is #{@@self_at_class_level}"
end
end
f = Foo.new # Output: self at class level is Foo
Self keyword at instance methods
When inside an instance method, the self keyword refers to that specific instance. In other words, it refers to the object where it was called.
class Meditation
def initialize
puts "self within an instance method is #{self}"
end
end
zazen = Meditation.new # Output: self within an instance method is #<Meditation:0x00000000ab2b38>
Notice that #<Meditation:0x00000000ab2b38> is a string representation of the zazen object, which is an instance of the Meditation class.
For the next example, we will use a module. Modules will be covered further below but, in the current context, the Meditable module is used as a container for storing methods which will be added to and used by the Sitting class.
module Meditable
def meditate
"Practicing #{self.meditation_name}…"
end
end
class Sitting
include Meditable
attr_accessor:meditation_name
def initialize(meditation_name)
@meditation_name = meditation_name
end
end
s = Sitting.new "zazen"
s.meditate # Output: => "Practicing zazen…"
In the above example, the self keyword refers to the instance of the Sitting class from which the meditate method was called.
Singleton Methods and Metaclasses
All instance methods defined in this post's examples are global methods. That means they are available in all instances of the class on which they were defined. In contrast, a singleton method is implemented on a single object.
There is an apparent contradiction. Ruby stores methods in classes and all methods must be associated with a class. The object on which a singleton method is defined is not a class (it is an instance of a class). If only classes can store methods, how can an object store a singleton method? When a singleton method is created, Ruby automatically creates an anonymous class to store that method. These anonymous classes are called metaclasses, also known as singleton classes or eigenclasses. The singleton method is associated with the metaclass which, in turn, is associated with the object on which the singleton method was defined.
If multiple singleton methods are defined within a single object, they are all stored in the same metaclass.
class Zen
end
z1 = Zen.new
z2 = Zen.new
def z1.say_hello # Notice that the method name is prefixed with the object name
puts "Hello!"
end
z1.say_hello # Output: Hello!
z2.say_hello # Output: NoMethodError: undefined method `say_hello'…
In the above example, the say_hello method was defined within the z1 instance of the Zen class but not the z2 instance.
The following example shows a different way to define a singleton method, with the same result.
class Zen
end
z1 = Zen.new
z2 = Zen.new
class << z1
def say_hello
puts "Hello!"
end
end
z1.say_hello # Output: Hello!
z2.say_hello # Output: NoMethodError: undefined method `say_hello'…
In the above example, class << z1 changes the current self to point to the metaclass of the z1 object; then, it defines the say_hello method within the metaclass.
Both of the above examples serve to illustrate how singleton methods work. There is, however, an easier way to define a singleton method: using a built-in method called define_singleton_method.
class Zen
end
z1 = Zen.new
z2 = Zen.new
z1.define_singleton_method(:say_hello) { puts "Hello!" }
z1.say_hello # Output: Hello!
z2.say_hello # Output: NoMethodError: undefined method `say_hello'…
We learned earlier that classes are also objects (instances of the built-in class called Class). We also learned about class methods. Well, class methods are nothing more than singleton methods associated with a class object. The following example was already seen in the section about class methods. After learning about metaclasses, we may look at it again with a deeper understanding.
class Zabuton
class << self
def stuff
puts "Stuffing zabuton…"
end
end
end
All objects may have metaclasses. That means classes can also have metaclasses. In the above example, class << self modifies self so it points to the metaclass of the Zabuton class. When a method is defined without an explicit receiver (the class/object on which the method will be defined), it is implicitly defined within the current scope, that is, the current value of self. Hence, the stuff method is defined within the metaclass of the Zabuton class. The above example is just another way to define a class method. IMHO, it's better to use the def self.my_new_clas_method syntax to define class methods, as it makes the code easier to understand. The above example was included so we understand what's happening when we come across the class << self syntax.
Ruby provides other useful built-in methods for handling singleton methods and metaclasses.
singleton_class: Returns the singleton class of an object. If there is no singleton class, one is created.
Zen.singleton_class # Output: => #<Class:Zen>
singleton_method: Looks for a singleton method and returns a corresponding method object, which can be stored in a variable, passed around, and called with the call method.
s = z1.singleton_method(:say_hello)
s.call # Output: => Hello!
singleton_methods: Returns an array of names of the singleton methods associated with a specific object.
z1.singleton_methods # Output: => [:say_hello]
Modules as mixins
Modules are used as namespaces and as mixins. This post only covers (briefly) mixins. Using modules for namespacing is well explained in this post at the Practicing Ruby website.
We learned before that Ruby does not support multiple inheritance. However, there are cases where a class would benefit by acquiring methods defined within multiple other classes. That is made possible by using a construct called module. A module is somewhat similar to a class, except it does not support inheritance, nor instantiating. It is mostly used as a container for storing multiple methods. One way to use a module is to employ an include or extend statement within a class. That way, the class gains access to all methods and objects defined within the module. It is said that the module is mixed in the class. So, a mixin is just a module included in a class. A single module can be mixed in multiple classes, and a single class can mix in multiple modules; thus, any limitations imposed by Ruby's single inheritance model are eliminated by the mixin feature.
All modules are instances of the Module class.
module Foo
end
Foo.instance_of? Module # Output: => true
In the following example, the JapaneseGreetings module is included (as a mixin) in the Person class.
module JapaneseGreetings
def hello
puts "Konnichiwa"
end
def goodbye
puts "Sayōnara"
end
end
class Person
include JapaneseGreetings
end
p = Person.new
p.hello # Output: Konnichiwa
p.goodbye # Output: Sayōnara
Modules deserve a post of their own; this is only a brief introduction.
Classes are modules
Remember how all classes are instances of a built-in class called Class? Well, Class is a subclass of Module (another built-in class).
Class.superclass # Output: => Module
Most of the built-in methods used to manipulate classes are defined in the Module class. Notice how the following list includes many of the methods discussed in this post.
Module.instance_methods(false)
=> [:<=>, :module_exec, :class_exec, :<=, :>=, :==, :===, :include?, :included_modules, :ancestors, :name,
:public_instance_methods, :instance_methods, :private_instance_methods, :protected_instance_methods, :const_get,
:constants, :const_defined?, :const_set, :class_variables, :class_variable_get, :remove_class_variable,
:class_variable_defined?, :class_variable_set, :private_constant, :public_constant, :singleton_class?,
:deprecate_constant, :freeze, :inspect, :module_eval, :const_missing, :prepend, :method_defined?, :class_eval,
:public_method_defined?, :private_method_defined?, :<, :public_class_method, :>, :protected_method_defined?,
:private_class_method, :to_s, :autoload, :autoload?, :instance_method, :public_instance_method, :include]
As we already learned, it is standard practice to implement "generic" code (which can be used in different contexts) in the superclass and add extra specialization within subclasses. An example is how the Class class inherits all the above instance methods from the Module class and implements three additional methods.
Class.instance_methods(false)
=> [:new, :allocate, :superclass]
The allocate method allocates memory and creates a new "empty" instance of the class, without calling the initialize method. The new method calls allocate, then invokes the initialize method on the newly created object. As for superclass, it returns the name of the superclass of a given class.
In his book The Ruby Programming Language
def new(*args)
o = self.allocate # Create a new object of this class
o.initialize(*args) # Call the object's initialize method with our args
o # Return new object; ignore return value of initialize
end
In brief, we might say that classes are modules with two significant extra functionalities: inheritance and instantiation. Another difference is that, unlike modules, classes cannot be used as mixins.

I don't like mixing religion and programming. I think it trivialises both of them. Interesting article, but would be better split into multiple parts. Overall, good.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your feedback. I respect your opinion about mixing religion and programming. This blog does not intend to trivialize any of those subjects. Also, I'm Buddhist, so I have the utmost respect for Zen.
