struct Rubellite::Value

• Rubellite::Value
• Struct
• Value
• Object

Overview

Represents a first-class Ruby value (equivalent to Ruby's C VALUE). Provides transparent type checks, unboxing to Crystal primitives, dynamic method dispatch, operator overloads, and block execution.

Defined in:

Constructors

• .from(obj) : Value

  Converts a Crystal object to a Rubellite::Value

• .new(raw : LibRuby::Value)

Instance Method Summary

• #*(other) : Value
• #+(other) : Value
• #-(other) : Value
• #/(other) : Value
• #<(other) : Bool
• #<=(other) : Bool
• #==(other : Value) : Bool
• #==(other) : Bool

  Returns true if this struct is equal to other.

• #>(other) : Bool
• #>=(other) : Bool
• #[](key) : Value
• #[]=(key, val) : Value
• #array? : Bool
• #as_crystal

  Auto-converts to Crystal primitive where possible

• #bool? : Bool
• #call(method_name : String | Symbol, *args) : Value

  Invokes a method on the Ruby object

• #call_with_block(method_name : String | Symbol, *args, &block : Array(Value) -> Value) : Value

  Invokes a method while passing a Crystal block as a Ruby block

• #class_name : String
• #false? : Bool
• #fixnum? : Bool
• #flonum? : Bool
• #hash? : Bool
• #inspect(io : IO) : Nil

  Appends this struct's name and instance variables names and values to the given IO.

• #inspect : String

  Returns an unambiguous and information-rich string representation of this object, typically intended for developers.

• #numeric? : Bool
• #proc? : Bool
• #raw : LibRuby::Value
• #ruby_nil? : Bool
• #string? : Bool
• #symbol? : Bool
• #symbol_name : String
• #to_a : Array(Value)
• #to_bool : Bool

  Ruby truthiness: false and nil are falsey, everything else is truthy

• #to_f : Float64
• #to_f64 : Float64
• #to_h : Hash(Value, Value)
• #to_i : Int32
• #to_i32 : Int32
• #to_i64 : Int64
• #to_s(io : IO) : Nil

  Same as #inspect(io).

• #to_s : String

  Returns a nicely readable and concise string representation of this object, typically intended for users.

• #to_sym : String
• #true? : Bool
