  §test 'string'
  def method
    return annotations(__callee__)
  end

end

anA = A.new
pp anA.method

Display

{:test=>"string"}

Getting fields

require 'rubygems'
require 'simple-annotations'

class A
  using AnnotationRefinement
  annotate!

  §foobar {:color => 'cyan' }   # Hash
  §test 1234                    # Numeric
  §foobar color: 'cyan'         # Hash by double splat, like keyword
  §testbar 10, {}, [], 'string' # Hybrid by splat
  §barfoo                       # Boolean set true
  §footest 'string'             # String                    
  def method
      [...]
  end

end

pp A.annotations[:method]

Display

{:test=>1234, :foobar=>{:color=>"cyan"}, :testbar=>[10, {}, [], "string"], :barfoo=>true, :footest=>"string"}

Defining Hooks

Supporting 2 Hooks :

• §after
• §before

Like :

require 'rubygems'
require 'simple-annotations'

class A
  using AnnotationRefinement

  annotate!

  
  §after -> { puts 'after' }
  §before -> { puts 'before' }
  def m1
    puts 'test'
  end

  
end



anA = A.new
anA.m1

Display

before
test
after
