class CSV::Row

Parent:
Object
Included modules:
Enumerable

A CSV::Row is part Array and part Hash. It retains an order for the fields and allows duplicates just as an Array would, but also allows you to access fields by name just as you could if they were in a Hash.

All rows returned by CSV will be constructed from this class, if header row processing is activated.

Attributes

row[R]

Internal data format used to compare equality.

Public Class Methods

new(headers, fields, header_row = false) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 235
def initialize(headers, fields, header_row = false)
  @header_row = header_row
  headers.each { |h| h.freeze if h.is_a? String }

  # handle extra headers or fields
  @row = if headers.size >= fields.size
    headers.zip(fields)
  else
    fields.zip(headers).each(&:reverse!)
  end
end

Construct a new CSV::Row from headers and fields, which are expected to be Arrays. If one Array is shorter than the other, it will be padded with nil objects.

The optional header_row parameter can be set to true to indicate, via #header_row? and #field_row?, that this is a header row. Otherwise, the row is assumes to be a field row.

A CSV::Row object supports the following Array methods through delegation:

  • empty?()

  • length()

  • size()

Public Instance Methods

<<( field ) Show source
<<( header_and_field_array )
<<( header_and_field_hash )
# File lib/csv.rb, line 380
def <<(arg)
  if arg.is_a?(Array) and arg.size == 2  # appending a header and name
    @row << arg
  elsif arg.is_a?(Hash)                  # append header and name pairs
    arg.each { |pair| @row << pair }
  else                                   # append field value
    @row << [nil, arg]
  end

  self  # for chaining
end

If a two-element Array is provided, it is assumed to be a header and field and the pair is appended. A Hash works the same way with the key being the header and the value being the field. Anything else is assumed to be a lone field which is appended with a nil header.

This method returns the row for chaining.

==(other) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 525
def ==(other)
  return @row == other.row if other.is_a? CSV::Row
  @row == other
end

Returns true if this row contains the same headers and fields in the same order as other.

Alias for: field
[]=( header, value ) Show source
[]=( header, offset, value )
[]=( index, value )
# File lib/csv.rb, line 347
def []=(*args)
  value = args.pop

  if args.first.is_a? Integer
    if @row[args.first].nil?  # extending past the end with index
      @row[args.first] = [nil, value]
      @row.map! { |pair| pair.nil? ? [nil, nil] : pair }
    else                      # normal index assignment
      @row[args.first][1] = value
    end
  else
    index = index(*args)
    if index.nil?             # appending a field
      self << [args.first, value]
    else                      # normal header assignment
      @row[index][1] = value
    end
  end
end

Looks up the field by the semantics described in #field and assigns the value.

Assigning past the end of the row with an index will set all pairs between to [nil, nil]. Assigning to an unused header appends the new pair.

delete( header ) Show source
delete( header, offset )
delete( index )
# File lib/csv.rb, line 415
def delete(header_or_index, minimum_index = 0)
  if header_or_index.is_a? Integer                 # by index
    @row.delete_at(header_or_index)
  elsif i = index(header_or_index, minimum_index)  # by header
    @row.delete_at(i)
  else
    [ ]
  end
end

Used to remove a pair from the row by header or index. The pair is located as described in #field. The deleted pair is returned, or nil if a pair could not be found.

delete_if(&block) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 434
def delete_if(&block)
  block or return enum_for(__method__) { size }

  @row.delete_if(&block)

  self  # for chaining
end

The provided block is passed a header and field for each pair in the row and expected to return true or false, depending on whether the pair should be deleted.

This method returns the row for chaining.

If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned.

each(&block) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 513
def each(&block)
  block or return enum_for(__method__) { size }

  @row.each(&block)

  self  # for chaining
end

Yields each pair of the row as header and field tuples (much like iterating over a Hash). This method returns the row for chaining.

If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned.

Support for Enumerable.

fetch( header ) Show source
fetch( header ) { |row| ... }
fetch( header, default )
# File lib/csv.rb, line 310
def fetch(header, *varargs)
  raise ArgumentError, "Too many arguments" if varargs.length > 1
  pair = @row.assoc(header)
  if pair
    pair.last
  else
    if block_given?
      yield header
    elsif varargs.empty?
      raise KeyError, "key not found: #{header}"
    else
      varargs.first
    end
  end
end

This method will fetch the field value by header. It has the same behavior as Hash#fetch: if there is a field with the given header, its value is returned. Otherwise, if a block is given, it is yielded the header and its result is returned; if a default is given as the second argument, it is returned; otherwise a KeyError is raised.

field( header ) Show source
field( header, offset )
field( index )
# File lib/csv.rb, line 284
def field(header_or_index, minimum_index = 0)
  # locate the pair
  finder = (header_or_index.is_a?(Integer) || header_or_index.is_a?(Range)) ? :[] : :assoc
  pair   = @row[minimum_index..-1].send(finder, header_or_index)

  # return the field if we have a pair
  if pair.nil?
    nil
  else
    header_or_index.is_a?(Range) ? pair.map(&:last) : pair.last
  end
end

This method will return the field value by header or index. If a field is not found, nil is returned.

When provided, offset ensures that a header match occurs on or later than the offset index. You can use this to find duplicate headers, without resorting to hard-coding exact indices.

Also aliased as: []
field?(data) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 499
def field?(data)
  fields.include? data
end

Returns true if data matches a field in this row, and false otherwise.

field_row?() Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 262
def field_row?
  not header_row?
end

Returns true if this is a field row.

fields(*headers_and_or_indices) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 450
def fields(*headers_and_or_indices)
  if headers_and_or_indices.empty?  # return all fields--no arguments
    @row.map(&:last)
  else                              # or work like values_at()
    all = []
    headers_and_or_indices.each do |h_or_i|
      if h_or_i.is_a? Range
        index_begin = h_or_i.begin.is_a?(Integer) ? h_or_i.begin :
                                                    index(h_or_i.begin)
        index_end   = h_or_i.end.is_a?(Integer)   ? h_or_i.end :
                                                    index(h_or_i.end)
        new_range   = h_or_i.exclude_end? ? (index_begin...index_end) :
                                            (index_begin..index_end)
        all.concat(fields.values_at(new_range))
      else
        all << field(*Array(h_or_i))
      end
    end
    return all
  end
end

This method accepts any number of arguments which can be headers, indices, Ranges of either, or two-element Arrays containing a header and offset. Each argument will be replaced with a field lookup as described in #field.

If called with no arguments, all fields are returned.

Also aliased as: values_at
has_key?(header) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 327
def has_key?(header)
  [email protected](header)
end

Returns true if there is a field with the given header.

Also aliased as: include?, key?, member?
header?(name) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 490
def header?(name)
  headers.include? name
end

Returns true if name is a header for this row, and false otherwise.

Also aliased as: include?
header_row?() Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 257
def header_row?
  @header_row
end

Returns true if this is a header row.

Alias for: has_key?
index( header ) Show source
index( header, offset )
# File lib/csv.rb, line 482
def index(header, minimum_index = 0)
  # find the pair
  index = headers[minimum_index..-1].index(header)
  # return the index at the right offset, if we found one
  index.nil? ? nil : index + minimum_index
end

This method will return the index of a field with the provided header. The offset can be used to locate duplicate header names, as described in #field.

inspect() Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 549
def inspect
  str = ["#<", self.class.to_s]
  each do |header, field|
    str << " " << (header.is_a?(Symbol) ? header.to_s : header.inspect) <<
           ":" << field.inspect
  end
  str << ">"
  begin
    str.join('')
  rescue  # any encoding error
    str.map do |s|
      e = Encoding::Converter.asciicompat_encoding(s.encoding)
      e ? s.encode(e) : s.force_encoding("ASCII-8BIT")
    end.join('')
  end
end

A summary of fields, by header, in an ASCII compatible String.

push(*args) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 399
def push(*args)
  args.each { |arg| self << arg }

  self  # for chaining
end

A shortcut for appending multiple fields. Equivalent to:

args.each { |arg| csv_row << arg }

This method returns the row for chaining.

to_csv(**options) Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 543
def to_csv(**options)
  fields.to_csv(options)
end

Returns the row as a CSV String. Headers are not used. Equivalent to:

csv_row.fields.to_csv( options )
Also aliased as: to_s
to_hash() Show source
# File lib/csv.rb, line 534
def to_hash
  @row.to_h
end

Collapses the row into a simple Hash. Be warned that this discards field order and clobbers duplicate fields.
