Overview
Subclasses should implement #call.
The base directive class. Subclass this class to create a custom directive, registering it with Library.define_directive. Directive classes are executed via the #call method, which perform all directive processing on the object.
If processing occurs within a handler, the #handler attribute is available to access more information about parsing context and state. Handlers are only available when parsing from Parser::SourceParser, not when parsing directly from DocstringParser. If the docstring is attached to an object declaration, #object will be set and available to modify the generated code object directly. Note that both of these attributes may be nil, and directives should test their existence before attempting to use them.

Instance Attribute Summary (collapse)
-
- (String?) expanded_text
Set this field to replace the directive definition inside of a docstring with arbitrary text.
-
- (Handlers::Base?) handler
readonly
The handler object the docstring parser might be attached to.
-
- (CodeObjects::Base?) object
readonly
The object the parent docstring is attached to.
-
- (DocstringParser) parser
protected
The parser that is parsing all tag information out of the docstring.
-
- (Tag) tag
The meta-data tag containing data input to the directive.
Parser callbacks (collapse)
-
- (void) after_parse
Called after parsing all directives and tags in the docstring.
-
- (void) call
abstract
Called when processing the directive.

Instance Attribute Details
- (String?) expanded_text
Set this field to replace the directive definition inside of a docstring with arbitrary text. For instance, the MacroDirective uses this field to expand its macro data in place of the call to a @!macro.

- (Handlers::Base?) handler (readonly)
Returns the handler object the docstring parser might be attached to. May be nil. Only available when parsing through Parser::SourceParser.

Instance Method Details
- (void) after_parse
This method returns an undefined value.
Called after parsing all directives and tags in the docstring. Used to perform any cleanup after all directives perform their main task.

# File 'lib/yard/tags/directives.rb', line 73 def after_parse; end |
- (void) call
implement this method to perform all data processing for the directive.
This method returns an undefined value.
Called when processing the directive. Subclasses should implement this method to perform all functionality of the directive.
