@BaxterStockman whilst I agree on Values' small size, I like this PR and would like to merge it. I have some nitpicks that I'd like addressed first. |
lib/values.rb
Outdated
1. {missing,unexpected}_keys => {missing,unexpected}_values
2. Values::ArgumentError => Values::FieldError
3. Default values for @{missing,unexpected}_fields now [] instead of nil

I hesitate to make this PR given that part of Values' appeal is its exceptionally small size; so, apologies in advance if the changeset it unwanted, and thanks for taking the time to review it.
I use Values for input validation and would find it helpful if the exceptions raised by the
.newand.withmethods upon receipt of bad arguments contained lists of missing and unrecognized keys, along the same lines as how virtus'sCoercionErrorexception class has the.attribute_namemethod for helping to determine which failed attribute prevented an object's instantiation.Since Values already validates constructor arguments, this PR mostly amounts to percolating existing data up to the caller -- the exception being the second argument to the
Values::ArgumentErrorcreated in.new.The convention I've followed is that the
@missing_keysand@unexpected_keysattributes will contain empty arrays if there were, respectively, no missing arguments or no extra arguments to.with. By contrast,@unexpected_keyswill benilif there were extra arguments provided to.new, since there is no way to determine the 'meaning' of additional positional parameters in the absence of handy hash keys acting a labels.
