Rubyish::Enumerable - The Enumerable implementation

SYNOPSIS

use MyEnumerableClass;
use Rubyish::Enumerable;

# you define "each"...
def each {... }

# and get these methods for free:
# all, any, to_a

DESCRIPTION

This module exports several methods that can be defined in terms of "each". When you define your classes and you want it behave as enumerables, simply say use Rubyish::Enumerable. And define each method. Then you will get the following intance methods for free.

all([ $block ])

Return true if all items in the enumerable object makes $block returns true. For example:

$collection->all(sub {
  my ($i) = @_;
  $i > 3;
});

Will test if all items in the $collection are greater then 3. If $block is not given, then it simply test if all items in the collection are considered to be true value.

See also List::MoreUtils and Quantum::Superpositions for the concept and alternative implementation of the all function.

any([ $block ])

Similar to all function, but returns ture if any item in the enumerable object is true, or let $block returns true.

See also List::MoreUtils and Quantum::Superpositions for the concept and alternative implementation of the any function.

to_a

Convert the enumerable object to an array.
