# Creates classes for value objects/read-only records.  Most useful
# when creating model objects for concepts not stored in the database.
#
# This will create a class that has attr_readers for all given attributes, as
# well as a hash-based constructor.  Further, the block given to with_attributes
# will be evaluated as if it were inside a class definition, allowing you
# to add methods, include or extend modules, or do whatever else you want.
class ImmutableStruct
  VERSION='2.2.2' #:nodoc:
  # Create a new class with the given read-only attributes.
  #
  # attributes:: list of symbols or strings that can be used to create attributes.
  #              Any attribute with a question mark in it (e.g. +:foo?+) will create
  #              an attribute without a question mark that passes through the raw
  #              value and an attribute *with* the question mark that coerces that
  #              value to a boolean.  You would initialize it with the non-question-mark value
  #              An attribute that is an array of one symbol will create an attribute named for
  #              that symbol, but that doesn't return nil, instead returning the +to_a+ of the
  #              value passed to the construtor.
  # block:: if present, evaluates in the context of the new class, so +def+, +def.self+, +include+
  #         and +extend+ should all work as in a normal class definition.
  #
  # Example:
  #
  #     Person = ImmutableStruct.new(:name, :location, :minor?, [:aliases])
  #
  #     p = Person.new(name: 'Dave', location: Location.new("DC"), minor: false)
  #     p.name     # => 'Dave'
  #     p.location # => <Location: @where="DC">
  #     p.minor    # => false
  #     p.minor?   # => false
  #
  #     p = Person.new(name: 'Rudy', minor: "yup")
  #     p.name     # => 'Rudy'
  #     p.location # => nil
  #     p.minor    # => "yup"
  #     p.minor?   # => true
  #
  #     new_person = p.merge(name: "Other Dave", age: 41) # returns a new object with merged attributes
  #     new_person.name    # => "Other Dave"
  #     new_person.age     # => 41
  #     new_person.active? # => true
  #
  # Note that you also get an implementation of `to_h` that will include **all** no-arg methods in its
  # output:
  #
  #     Person = ImmutableStruct.new(:name, :location, :minor?, [:aliases])
  #     p = Person.new(name: 'Dave', minor: "yup", aliases: [ "davetron", "davetron5000" ])
  #     p.to_h # => { name: "Dave", minor: "yup", minor?: true, aliases: ["davetron", "davetron5000" ] }
  # 
  # This has two subtle side-effects:
  #
  # * Methods that take no args, but are not 'attributes' will get called by `to_h`.  This shouldn't be a
  #   problem, because you should not generally be doing this on a struct-like class.
  # * Methods that take no args, but call `to_h` will stack overflow.  This is because the class'
  #   internals have no way to know about this.  This is particularly a problem if you want to
  #   define your own `to_json` method that serializes the result of `to_h`.
