Hi,
I’m just trying to learn Ruby and am wondering what the proper way of
having a composite class (not a mixin). I’d like to have one class be
an instance variable of another class.

Class X
def myX
End
End

Class Y
myNest = X::new

def myY
end
end

myObject = Y::new

myObject::myNest.myX # <------ gives an error

What’s the proper way of doing this in Ruby?

Thanks,
S

if webspace is the problem, we can host it for free here,
or maybe the best would be to host it on sf.net

Ciao,
A

Do you mean that you want an instance of one class be an instance
variable of another class? This is done all the time.

class X
def myX
end
end

class Y
def initialize
@myX = X.new
end
attr_reader :myX
end

Class Y
myNest = X::new

This would be a local variable, not an instance variable.

myNest in your code isn’t visable externally to the area of the class (it is I
guess a local variable). If you want it to be a constant (in which case it
would be visible) capitalize the first character of its name. If you want it
to be an instance variable do this:

class Y
attr_reader :myNest
def initialize()
@myNest = X.new
end
end

then the call that you have above should work.
