Provides a single class to call to create a new structured or unstructured field. Works out per RFC what field of field it is being given and returns the correct field of class back on new.
2.2. Header Fields Header fields are lines composed of a field name, followed by a colon (":"), followed by a field body, and terminated by CRLF. A field name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters (i.e., characters that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except colon. A field body may be composed of any US-ASCII characters, except for CR and LF. However, a field body may contain CRLF when used in header "folding" and "unfolding" as described in section 2.2.3. All field bodies MUST conform to the syntax described in sections 3 and 4 of this standard.
Accepts a string:
Field.new("field-name: field data")
Or name, value pair:
Field.new("field-name", "value")
Or a name by itself:
Field.new("field-name")
Note, does not want a terminating carriage return. Returns self appropriately parsed. If value is not a string, then it will be passed through as is, for example, content-type field can accept an array with the type and a hash of parameters:
Field.new('content-type', ['text', 'plain', {:charset => 'UTF-8'}])
# File lib/mail/field.rb, line 110 def initialize(name, value = nil, charset = 'utf-8') case when name =~ /:/ # Field.new("field-name: field data") charset = value unless value.blank? name, value = split(name) create_field(name, value, charset) when name !~ /:/ && value.blank? # Field.new("field-name") create_field(name, nil, charset) else # Field.new("field-name", "value") create_field(name, value, charset) end return self end
# File lib/mail/field.rb, line 158 def <=>( other ) self.field_order_id <=> other.field_order_id end
# File lib/mail/field.rb, line 124 def field=(value) @field = value end
# File lib/mail/field.rb, line 162 def field_order_id @field_order_id ||= (FIELD_ORDER_LOOKUP[self.name.to_s.downcase] || 100) end
# File lib/mail/field.rb, line 166 def method_missing(name, *args, &block) field.send(name, *args, &block) end
# File lib/mail/field.rb, line 152 def same( other ) match_to_s(other.name, field.name) end
