Module: Innate::Node
- Includes:
- Innate::Traited
- Defined in:
- innate/lib/innate/node.rb
Overview
The nervous system of Innate, so you can relax.
Node may be included into any class to make it a valid responder to requests.
The major difference between this and the old Ramaze controller is that every Node acts as a standalone application with its own dispatcher.
What’s also an important difference is the fact that Node is a module, so we don’t have to spend a lot of time designing the perfect subclassing scheme.
This makes dispatching more fun, avoids a lot of processing that is done by Rack anyway and lets you tailor your application down to the last action exactly the way you want without worrying about side-effects to other {Node}s.
Upon inclusion, it will also include Innate::Trinity and Innate::Helper to provide you with Innate::Request, Innate::Response, Innate::Session instances, and all the standard helper methods as well as the ability to simply add other helpers.
Please note that method_missing will not be considered when building an Action. There might be future demand for this, but for now you can simply use `def index(*args); end` to make a catch-all action.

node mapping procedure
when Node is included into an object, it’s added to NODE_LIST when object::map(location) is sent, it maps the object into DynaMap when Innate.start is issued, it calls Node::setup Node::setup iterates NODE_LIST and maps all objects not in DynaMap by using Node::generate_mapping(object.name) as location
when object::map(nil) is sent, the object will be skipped in Node::setup

Instance Method Details
- (Innate::Response) action_found(action)
Executed once an Action has been found.
Reset the Innate::Response instance, catch :respond and :redirect. Action#call has to return a String.
298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 |
# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 298 def action_found(action) response = catch(:respond){ catch(:redirect){ action.call }} unless response.respond_to?(:finish) self.response.write(response) response = self.response end response['Content-Type'] ||= action.[:content_type] response end |
- (Object) action_missing(path)
The default handler in case no action was found, kind of method_missing. Must modify the response in order to have any lasting effect.
Reasoning:
- We are doing this is in order to avoid tons of special error handling code that would impact runtime and make the overall API more complicated.
- This cannot be a normal action is that methods defined in Innate::Node will never be considered for actions.
To use a normal action with template do following:
345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 |
# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 345 def action_missing(path) response = Current.response response.status = 404 response['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain' response.write("No action found at: %p" % path) response end |
- (Object) alias_view(to, from, node = nil)
Aliasing one view from another. The aliases are inherited, and the optional third node parameter indicates the Node to take the view from.
The argument order is identical with `alias` and `alias_method`, which quite honestly confuses me, but at least we stay consistent.
608 609 610 611 |
# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 608 def alias_view(to, from, node = nil) trait[:alias_view] || trait(:alias_view => {}) trait[:alias_view][to.to_s] = node ? [from.to_s, node] : from.to_s end |
- (Binding) binding
For compatibility with new Kernel#binding behaviour in 1.9
884 |
# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 884 def binding; super end |
- (Array) call(env)
This makes the Node a valid application for Rack. env is the environment hash passed from the Rack::Handler
We rely on correct PATH_INFO.
As defined by the Rack spec, PATH_INFO may be empty if it wants the root of the application, so we insert ’/’ to make our dispatcher simple.
Innate will not rescue any errors for you or do any error handling, this should be done by an underlying middleware.
We do however log errors at some vital points in order to provide you with feedback in your logs.
A lot of functionality in here relies on the fact that call is executed within Current#call which populates the variables used by Trinity. So if you use the Node directly as a middleware make sure that you #use Innate::Current as a middleware before it.

- (nil, String) find_aliased_view(action_name, wish)

- (Array?) find_layout(name, wish)
TODO: allow layouts combined of method and view… hairy :)
Try to find a suitable value for the layout. This may be a template or the name of a method.
If a layout could be found, an Array with two elements is returned, the first indicating the kind of layout (:layout|:view|:method), the second the found value, which may be a String or Symbol.

- (String, Symbol) find_method(name, params)
TODO: Once 1.9 is mainstream we can use Method#parameters to do accurate prediction
We check arity if possible, but will happily dispatch to any method that has default parameters. If you don’t want your method to be responsible for messing up a request you should think twice about the arguments you specify due to limitations in Ruby.
So if you want your method to take only one parameter which may have a default value following will work fine:
def index(foo = "bar", *rest)
But following will respond to /arg1/arg2 and then fail due to ArgumentError:
def index(foo = "bar")
Here a glance at how parameters are expressed in arity:
def index(a) # => 1 def index(a = :a) # => -1 def index(a, *r) # => -2 def index(a = :a, *r) # => -1 def index(a, b) # => 2 def index(a, b, *r) # => -3 def index(a, b = :b) # => -2 def index(a, b = :b, *r) # => -2 def index(a = :a, b = :b) # => -1 def index(a = :a, b = :b, *r) # => -1

# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 505 def find_method(name, params) return unless arity = method_arities[name] name if arity == params.size or arity < 0 end |
- (Array) find_provide(path)
Resolve possible provides for the given path from provides.

- (String?) find_view(action_name, wish)
Try to find the best template for the given basename and wish and respect aliased views.

# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 552 def find_view(action_name, wish) aliased = find_aliased_view(action_name, wish) return aliased if aliased to_view(action_name, wish) end |
- (Proc, String) layout(layout_name = nil, &block)
Define a layout to use on this Node.
A Node can only have one layout, although the template being chosen can depend on provides.

- (Array<String>+) layout_mappings
Combine Innate.options.layouts with either the `ancestral_trait[:layouts]` or the Node#mapping if the trait yields an empty Array.

# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 953 def layout_mappings paths = [*ancestral_trait[:layouts]] paths = ['/'] if paths.empty? [[*.layouts].flatten, [*paths].flatten] end |
- (Object) map(location)

909 910 911 912 |
# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 909 def map_views(*locations) trait :views => locations.flatten.uniq self end |
- (String) mapping
Tries to find the relative url that this Node is mapped to. If it cannot find one it will instead generate one based on the snake_cased name of itself.
114 115 116 |
# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 114 def mapping Innate.to(self) end |
- (true, false) needs_method?
Whether an Action can be built without a method.
The default is to allow actions that use only a view template, but you might want to turn this on, for example if you have partials in your view directories.
985 986 987 |
# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 985 def needs_method? ancestral_trait[:needs_method] end |
- (Object) options

# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 960 def Innate. end |
- (Action) patterns_for(path)
The innate beauty in Nitro, Ramaze, and Innate.
Will yield the name of the action and parameter for the action method in order of significance.
def # responds to /foo/bar def foo() # also responds to /foo/bar
But foo__bar takes precedence because it’s more explicit.
The last fallback will always be the index action with all of the path turned into parameters.

Answer with an array of possible extensions in order of significance for the given wish.

- (Object) provide(format, param = {}, &block)
TODO: The comment of this method may be too short for the effects it has on the rest of Innate, if you feel something is missing please let me know.
Specify which way contents are provided and processed.
Use this to set a templating engine, custom Content-Type, or pass a block to take over the processing of the Action and template yourself.
Provides set via this method will be inherited into subclasses.
The format is extracted from the PATH_INFO, it simply represents the last extension name in the path.
The provide also has influence on the chosen templates for the Action.

- (true, false) provide_set?
This will return true if the only provides set are by Node::included.
The reasoning behind this is to determine whether the user has touched the provides at all, in which case we will not override the provides in subclasses.

- (nil, Action) resolve(path)
Let’s get down to business, first check if we got any wishes regarding the representation from the client, otherwise we will assume he wants html.

# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 894 def root_mappings [*.roots].flatten end |
- (nil, String) to_layout(action_name, wish)
Find the best matching action_name for the layout, if any.
This is mostly an abstract method that you might find handy if you want to do vastly different layout lookup.
645 646 647 648 |
# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 645 def to_layout(action_name, wish) return unless files = layout_templates[wish.to_s] files[action_name.to_s] end |
- (nil, String) to_template(path, wish)
Try to find a template at the given path for wish.
Since Innate supports multiple paths to templates the path has to be an Array that may be nested one level.
789 790 791 |
# File 'innate/lib/innate/node.rb', line 789 def to_template(path, wish) to_view(path, wish) || to_layout(path, wish) end |
- (String?) to_view(action_name, wish)
Try to find the best template for the given basename and wish.
This method is mostly here for symetry with to_layout and to allow you overriding the template lookup easily.

- (Hash) update_method_arities
Answer with a hash, keys are method names, values are method arities.
Note that this will be executed once for every request, once we have settled things down a bit more we can switch to update based on Reloader hooks and update once on startup. However, that may cause problems with dynamically created methods, so let’s play it safe for now.
