## Functional-Style DSL Objects
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sometimes, you want to use an object as a DSL, but it doesn't quite fit the
|
||||||
|
[imperative](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperative_programming) pattern shown
|
||||||
|
above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Instead of methods like
|
||||||
|
[Array#push](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/Array.html#method-i-push), which
|
||||||
|
modifies the object at hand, it has methods like
|
||||||
|
[String#reverse](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/String.html#method-i-reverse),
|
||||||
|
which returns a new object without touching the original. Perhaps it's even
|
||||||
|
[frozen](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/Object.html#method-i-freeze) in
|
||||||
|
order to enforce [immutability](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immutable_object).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Wouldn't it be great if we could just treat these methods as a DSL as well?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```ruby
|
||||||
|
with_immutable_string("I'm immutable!".freeze) do
|
||||||
|
reverse
|
||||||
|
upcase
|
||||||
|
end
|
||||||
|
#=> "!ELBATUMMI M'I"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
No problem, just define the method `with_immutable_string` like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```ruby
|
||||||
|
def with_immutable_string(str="", &block)
|
||||||
|
Docile.dsl_eval_immutable(str, &block)
|
||||||
|
end
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All set!
