Ruby：获取对象之间不同属性的列表

Helo,

I am pretty new to Ruby (using 1.8.6) and need to know whether the following functionality is available automatically and if not, which would be the best method to implement it.

我是Ruby的新手(使用1.8.6)并且需要知道以下功能是否可以自动使用,如果没有,这将是实现它的最佳方法。

I have class Car. And have two objects:

我有班车。并有两个对象:

car_a and car_b

Is there any way I could do a compare and find what properties differ in one of the objects as compared to the other one?

有什么办法可以比较一下,找出其中一个对象与另一个对象有什么不同?

For example,

car_a.color = 'Red'
car_a.sun_roof = true
car_a.wheels = 'Bridgestone'

car_b.color = 'Blue'
car_b.sun_roof = false
car_b.wheels = 'Bridgestone'

then doing a

然后做一个

car_a.compare_with(car_b)

should give me:

应该给我:

{:color => 'Blue', :sun_roof => 'false'}

or something to that effect?

或者那种效果?

4 个解决方案

needs some tweaking, but here's the basic idea:

需要一些调整,但这是基本的想法:

module CompareIV
  def compare(other)
    h = {}
    self.instance_variables.each do |iv|
      print iv
      a, b = self.instance_variable_get(iv), other.instance_variable_get(iv)
      h[iv] = b if a != b
    end
    return h
  end
end

class A
  include CompareIV
  attr_accessor :foo, :bar, :baz

  def initialize(foo, bar, baz)
    @foo = foo
    @bar = bar
    @baz = baz
  end
end

a = A.new(foo = 1, bar = 2, baz = 3)
b = A.new(foo = 1, bar = 3, baz = 4)

p a.compare(b)

#2

How about

class Object
  def instance_variables_compare(o)
    Hash[*self.instance_variables.map {|v| 
      self.instance_variable_get(v)==o.instance_variable_get(v) ? [] : [v,o.instance_variable_get(v)]}.flatten]
  end
end


>> car_a.instance_variables_compare(car_b)
=> {"@color"=>"Blue", "@sun_roof"=>false}

#3

Not sure if getting the difference of properties straight away is possible. But the work around would be to try the .eql? operator on both the objects

不确定是否可以立即获得属性的差异。但是,解决方法是尝试.eql?两个对象上的运算符

#for example, 

car_a.eql?(car_b)

#could test whether car_a and car_b have the same color, sunroof and wheels
#need to override this method in the Car class to be meaningful,otherwise it's the same as ==

If there is a difference then you could use the Object Class's To_Array method like

如果存在差异,那么您可以使用Object Class的To_Array方法

car_a.to_a
car_b.to_a

now comparing 2 arrays for difference would be easy.

现在比较两个阵列的差异将很容易。

Not tested but

没有测试但是

(car_a | car_b ) - ( car_a & car_b )

or something like that should give you the difference in properties.

或类似的东西应该给你的属性差异。

I had the same issue and was looking at some of your solutions, but I figured Ruby had to have a way to solve this. I discovered ActiveModel::Dirty. Works like a charm.

我遇到了同样的问题并且正在研究你的一些解决方案,但我认为Ruby必须有办法解决这个问题。我发现了ActiveModel :: Dirty。奇迹般有效。
