API Documentation
- shackles.broken(obj, chain)
Return name of first missing named attribute of object.
If chain is not broken (all attributes are represented in chain) nothing is returned.
# obj.a.b.e assert shackles.broken(obj, 'a.b.c') == 'c'
- shackles.get(obj, chain[, default])
Return value of final named attribute in chain of object.
If a named attribute does not exist, default is returned if provided, otherwise AttributeError is raised.
# obj.a.b assert shackles.get(obj, 'a.b.c', 5) == 5 # obj.a.b.c = 6 assert shackles.get(obj, 'a.b.c', 5) == 6
- shackles.has(obj, chain)
Return True if the chain of attributes exists on the object, False if not.
# obj.a.b.c assert shackles.has(obj, 'a.b.c']) == True
- shackles.walk(obj, chain)
Generate the values of the attributes in the chain by walking the named attributes in the chain from the object.
If a named attribute does not exist, default is returned if provided, otherwise AttributeError is raised.
# a = obj; b = obj; c = obj # a.name = 'a'; b.name = 'b'; c.name = 'c' # a.b = b; b.c = c assert next(shackles.walk(a, 'b.c')).name == 'b'
