class UCF::Container

This class represents a UCF document in PK Zip format. See the specification for more details.

This class provides most of the facilities of the Zip::ZipFile class in the rubyzip gem. Please also consult the rubyzip documentation alongside these pages.

There are code examples available with the source code of this library.

Attributes

mimetype[R]

The mime-type of this UCF document. By default this is “application/epub+zip”.

Public Class Methods

create(filename, mimetype = "application/epub+zip") → document click to toggle source
create(filename, mimetype = "application/epub+zip") {|document| ...}

Create a new UCF document on disk with the specified mimetype.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 97
def Container.create(filename, mimetype = DEFAULT_MIMETYPE, &block)
  ::Zip::ZipOutputStream.open(filename) do |stream|
    stream.put_next_entry(MIMETYPE_FILE, nil, nil, ::Zip::ZipEntry::STORED)
    stream.write mimetype
  end

  # Now open the newly created container.
  c = new(filename)

  if block_given?
    begin
      yield c
    ensure
      c.close
    end
  end

  c
end
each_entry → Enumerator click to toggle source
each_entry {|entry| ...}

Iterate over the entries in the UCF document. The entry objects returned by this method are Zip::ZipEntry objects. Please see the rubyzip documentation for details.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 124
def Container.each_entry(filename, &block)
  c = new(filename)

  if block_given?
    begin
      c.each(&block)
    ensure
      c.close
    end
  end

  c.each
end
open(filename) → document click to toggle source
open(filename) {|document| ...}

Open an existing UCF document from disk. It will be checked for conformance to the UCF specification upon first access.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 144
def Container.open(filename, &block)
  c = new(filename)

  if block_given?
    begin
      yield c
    ensure
      c.close
    end
  end

  c
end
verify(filename) → boolean click to toggle source

Verify that the specified UCF document conforms to the UCF specification. This method returns false if there are any problems at all with the file (including if it cannot be found).

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 164
def Container.verify(filename)
  begin
    new(filename).verify!
  rescue
    return false
  end

  true
end
verify!(filename) click to toggle source

Verify that the specified UCF document conforms to the UCF specification. This method raises exceptions when errors are found or if there is something fundamental wrong with the file itself (e.g. it cannot be found).

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 181
def Container.verify!(filename)
  new(filename).verify!
end

Public Instance Methods

add(entry, src_path, &continue_on_exists_proc) click to toggle source

Convenience method for adding the contents of a file to the UCF document. If asked to add a file with a reserved name, such as the special mimetype header file, this method will raise a ReservedNameClashError.

See the rubyzip documentation for details of the continue_on_exists_proc parameter.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 195
def add(entry, src_path, &continue_on_exists_proc)
  if reserved_entry?(entry) || managed_directory?(entry)
    raise ReservedNameClashError.new(entry.to_s)
  end

  @zipfile.add(entry, src_path, &continue_on_exists_proc)
end
close()
Alias for: commit
comment → String click to toggle source

Returns the UCF document comment, if it has one.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 388
    
comment = comment click to toggle source

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 395
    
commit → boolean click to toggle source
close → boolean

Commits changes that have been made since the previous commit to the UCF document. Returns true if anything was actually done, false otherwise.

Returns an object which can be used like ruby’s built in Dir (class) object, except that it works on the UCF document on which this method is invoked.

See the rubyzip documentation for details.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 228
def dir
  @fs_dir
end
each → Enumerator click to toggle source
each {|entry| ...}

Iterate over the entries in the UCF document. The entry objects returned by this method are Zip::ZipEntry objects. Please see the rubyzip documentation for details.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 413
    
entries → Enumerable click to toggle source

Returns an Enumerable containing all the entries in the UCF Document. The entry objects returned by this method are Zip::ZipEntry objects. Please see the rubyzip documentation for details.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 422
    
extract(entry, dest_path, &on_exists_proc) click to toggle source

Extracts the specified entry of the UCF document to dest_path.

See the rubyzip documentation for details of the on_exists_proc parameter.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 432
    
file → Zip::ZipFsFile click to toggle source

Returns an object which can be used like ruby’s built in File (class) object, except that it works on the UCF document on which this method is invoked.

See the rubyzip documentation for details.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 240
def file
  @fs_file
end
find_entry(entry) → Zip::ZipEntry click to toggle source

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 440
    
get_entry(entry) → Zip::ZipEntry click to toggle source

Searches for an entry within the UCF document in a similar manner to find_entry, but throws +Errno::ENOENT+ if no entry is found.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 448
    
get_input_stream(entry) → stream click to toggle source
get_input_stream(entry) {|stream| ...}

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 266
def in_memory?
  !@on_disk
end
mkdir(name, permission = 0755) click to toggle source

See the rubyzip documentation for details of the continue_on_exists_proc parameter.

# File lib/ucf/container.rb, line 316
def rename(entry, new_name, &continue_on_exists_proc)
  return if reserved_entry?(entry)
  raise ReservedNameClashError.new(new_name) if reserved_entry?(new_name)

  @zipfile.rename(entry, new_name, &continue_on_exists_proc)
end
