# frozen_string_literal: true module YARD module Serializers # The abstract base serializer. Serializers allow templates to be # rendered to various endpoints. For instance, a {FileSystemSerializer} # would allow template contents to be written to the filesystem # # To implement a custom serializer, override the following methods: # * {#serialize} # * {#serialized_path} # # Optionally, a serializer can implement before and after filters: # * {#before_serialize} # * {#after_serialize} # # @abstract Override this class to implement a custom serializer. class Base # All serializer options are saved so they can be passed to other serializers. # # @return [SymbolHash] the serializer options attr_reader :options # @group Creating a New Serializer # Creates a new serializer with options # # @param [Hash] opts the options to assign to {#options} def initialize(opts = {}) @options = SymbolHash.new(false).update(opts) end # @group Serializing an Object # Serializes an object. # # @abstract This method should implement the logic that serializes # +data+ to the respective endpoint. This method should also call # the before and after callbacks {#before_serialize} and {#after_serialize} # @param [CodeObjects::Base, String] object the object to serialize the # data for. The object can also be a string (for non-object serialization) # @param [String] data the contents that should be serialized def serialize(object, data) end # The serialized path of an object # # @abstract This method should return the path of the object on the # endpoint. For instance, for a file serializer, this should return # the filename that represents the object on disk. # @param [CodeObjects::Base] object the object to return a path for # @return [String] the serialized path of an object def serialized_path(object) end # Returns whether an object has been serialized # # @abstract This method should return whether the endpoint already exists. # For instance, a file system serializer would check if the file exists # on disk. You will most likely use +#basepath+ and {#serialized_path} to # get the endpoint's location. # @param [CodeObjects::Base] object the object to check existence of # @return [Boolean] whether the endpoint exists. # @since 0.6.0 def exists?(object) # rubocop:disable Lint/UnusedMethodArgument false end # @group Callbacks # Called before serialization. # # @abstract Should run code before serialization.
