Wardrobe

Wardrobe is a gem that simplifies creating Ruby objects with attributes. Wardrobe bundles a multitude of plugins. See list below.

Requirements

Wardrobe requires Ruby 2.4.0 or later. Read more about why here. JRuby should be supported once 9.2.0.0 is released

Installation

gem install wardrobe

Getting started

require 'wardrobe'

class User
  include Wardrobe
  attribute :name, String
end

User.new(name: 'Wardrobe User')

Goals

Wardrobe should:

be faster than Virtus
have no dependencies (plugins may)
not pollute the instance level with any methods other than ones prefixed with _
should be immutable in the config layer allowing subclasses or singleton classes to modify the config
be easy to extend with plugins
simplify coercions through refinements

Ruby 2.4

When working on the first "Proof of Concept" for Wardrobe I wanted to use refinements for coercion. This was right before Ruby 2.4 was released that added support for using Kernel#send to call a method defined in a refined class. This was needed to get my first POC working and is why Wardrobe requires ruby 2.4 or above.
