The +# following documentation is copied, with modifications, from "Programming +# Ruby", by Hunt and Thomas; http://www.rubycentral.com/book/lib_patterns.html. +# +# == About +# +# The Observer pattern, also known as Publish/Subscribe, provides a simple +# mechanism for one object to inform a set of interested third-party objects +# when its state changes. +# +# == Mechanism +# +# In the Ruby implementation, the notifying class mixes in the +Observable+ +# module, which provides the methods for managing the associated observer +# objects. +# +# The observers must implement the +update+ method to receive notifications. +# +# The observable object must: +# * assert that it has +changed+ +# * call +notify_observers+ +# +# == Example +# +# The following example demonstrates this nicely. A +Ticker+, when run, +# continually receives the stock +Price+ for its +@symbol+. A +Warner+ is a +# general observer of the price, and two warners are demonstrated, a +WarnLow+ +# and a +WarnHigh+, which print a warning if the price is below or above their +# set limits, respectively. +# +# The +update+ callback allows the warners to run without being explicitly +# called. The system is set up with the +Ticker+ and several observers, and the +# observers do their duty without the top-level code having to interfere. +# +# Note that the contract between publisher and subscriber (observable and +# observer) is not declared or enforced. The +Ticker+ publishes a time and a +# price, and the warners receive that. But if you don't ensure that your +# contracts are correct, nothing else can warn you. +# +# require "observer" +# +# class Ticker ### Periodically fetch a stock price. +# include Observable +# +# def initialize(symbol) +# @symbol = symbol +# end +# +# def run +# lastPrice = nil +# loop do +# price = Price.fetch(@symbol) +# print "Current price: #{price}\n" +# if price != lastPrice +# changed # notify observers +# lastPrice = price +# notify_observers(Time.now, price) +# end +# sleep 1 +# end +# end +# end +# +# class Price ### A mock class to fetch a stock price (60 - 140). +# def Price.fetch(symbol) +# 60 + rand(80) +# end +# end +# +# class Warner ### An abstract observer of Ticker objects. +# def initialize(ticker, limit) +# @limit = limit +# ticker.add_observer(self) +# end +# end +# +# class WarnLow < Warner +# def update(time, price) # callback for observer +# if price < @limit +# print "--- #{time.to_s}: Price below #@limit: #{price}\n" +# end +# end +# end +# +# class WarnHigh < Warner +# def update(time, price) # callback for observer +# if price > @limit +# print "+++ #{time.to_s}: Price above #@limit: #{price}\n" +# end +# end +# end +# +# ticker = Ticker.new("MSFT") +# WarnLow.new(ticker, 80) +# WarnHigh.new(ticker, 120) +# ticker.run +# +# Produces: +# +# Current price: 83 +# Current price: 75 +# --- Sun Jun 09 00:10:25 CDT 2002: Price below 80: 75 +# Current price: 90 +# Current price: 134 +# +++ Sun Jun 09 00:10:25 CDT 2002: Price above 120: 134 +# Current price: 134 +# Current price: 112 +# Current price: 79 +# --- Sun Jun 09 00:10:25 CDT 2002: Price below 80: 79 + + +# +# Implements the Observable design pattern as a mixin so that other objects can +# be notified of changes in state.
