Aversion makes your Ruby objects versionable. It also makes them immutable, so
the only way to obtain transformed copies is to explicitly mutate state in
#transform calls, which will return the modified copy, leaving the original
intact.
You can also compute the difference between two versions, expressed as an array of transformations, and apply it onto an arbitrary object.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'txus-aversion'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install txus-aversion
Yeah, I know the name sucks. There is another gem called aversion so I have to prefix mine with my name :(
class Person
include Aversion
def initialize(hunger)
@hunger = hunger
end
def eat
transform do
@hunger -= 5
end
end
end
# Objects are immutable. Calls to mutate state will return new modified
# copies (thanks to #transform):
john = Person.new
new_john = john.eat
newer_john = new_john.eat
# You can roll back to a previous state:
new_john_again = newer_john.rollback
# Calculate deltas between objects, and replay the differences to get to the
# desired state:
difference = newer_john - john
newer_john_again = john.replay(difference)- Fork it
