Internal attributes ​

Add internal private attributes via the internal method.

Usage ​

Assign and access internal attributes via internals=/internals methods.

ruby
class UsersService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  input :first_name, type: String
  input :middle_name, type: String
  input :last_name, type: String

  internal :full_name, type: String

  output :user, type: User

  make :assign_full_name
  make :create!

  def assign_full_name
    internals.full_name = [
      inputs.first_name,
      inputs.middle_name,
      inputs.last_name
    ].join(" ")
  end

  def create!
    outputs.user = User.create!(full_name: internals.full_name)
  end
end

Options ​

See using options for details.

Helpers ​

Custom ​

Add custom helpers via internal_option_helpers in configuration. Helpers can be based on existing options.

Configuration example

Example with must ​

ruby
class PaymentsService::Create < ApplicationService::Base
  # ...

  internal :invoice_numbers,
           :must_be_6_characters,
           type: Array,
           consists_of: String

  # ...
end

Methods ​

Method only ​

Filter internals with the only method. Returns a Hash with specified attributes.

ruby
outputs.full_name =
  internals.only(:first_name, :middle_name, :last_name)
    .values
    .compact
    .join(" ")

Method except ​

Filter internals with the except method. Returns a Hash without specified attributes.

ruby
outputs.full_name =
  internals.except(:gender)
    .values
    .compact
    .join(" ")

Predicate methods ​

Access any internal attribute as a predicate method.

ruby
# ...

internal :full_name, type: String

# ...

def something
  return unless internals.full_name? # instead of `internals.full_name.present?`

  # ...
end
