ResourceGroovyMethods (groovy 2.3.0-rc-1 API)

org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ResourceGroovyMethods

This class defines new groovy methods for Readers, Writers, InputStreams and OutputStreams which appear on normal JDK classes inside the Groovy environment. Static methods are used with the first parameter being the destination class, i.e. public static T eachLine(InputStream self, Closure c) provides a eachLine(Closure c) method for InputStream.
NOTE: While this class contains many 'public' static methods, it is primarily regarded as an internal class (its internal package name suggests this also). We value backwards compatibility of these methods when used within Groovy but value less backwards compatibility at the Java method call level. I.e. future versions of Groovy may remove or move a method call in this file but would normally aim to keep the method available from within Groovy.

  - public static void traverse(File self, Map options, @ClosureParamsmber.class); Closure closure)
    
    Invokes closure for each descendant file in this directory tree. Sub-directories are recursively traversed as found. The traversal can be adapted by providing various options in the options Map according to the following keys:
    
    type
    A FileType enum to determine if normal files or directories or both are processed
    
    preDir
    A Closure run before each directory is processed and optionally returning a FileVisitResult value which can be used to control subsequent processing.
    
    preRoot
    A boolean indicating that the 'preDir' closure should be applied at the root level
    
    postDir
    A Closure run after each directory is processed and optionally returning a FileVisitResult value which can be used to control subsequent processing.
    
    postRoot
    A boolean indicating that the 'postDir' closure should be applied at the root level
    
    visitRoot
    A boolean indicating that the given closure should be applied for the root dir (not applicable if the 'type' is set to FileType.FILES)
    
    maxDepth
    The maximum number of directory levels when recursing (default is -1 which means infinite, set to 0 for no recursion)
    
    filter
    A filter to perform on traversed files/directories (using the DefaultGroovyMethods.isCase method). If set, only files/dirs which match are candidates for visiting.
    
    nameFilter
    A filter to perform on the name of traversed files/directories (using the DefaultGroovyMethods.isCase method). If set, only files/dirs which match are candidates for visiting. (Must not be set if 'filter' is set)
    
    excludeFilter
    A filter to perform on traversed files/directories (using the DefaultGroovyMethods.isCase method). If set, any candidates which match won't be visited.
    
    excludeNameFilter
    A filter to perform on the names of traversed files/directories (using the DefaultGroovyMethods.isCase method). If set, any candidates which match won't be visited. (Must not be set if 'excludeFilter' is set)
    
    sort
    A Closure which if set causes the files and subdirectories for each directory to be processed in sorted order. Note that even when processing only files, the order of visited subdirectories will be affected by this parameter.

    throws:
    FileNotFoundException if the given directory does not exist
    throws:
    IllegalArgumentException if the provided File object does not represent a directory or illegal filter combinations are supplied
    
    Parameters:
    self - a File
    options - a Map of options to alter the traversal behavior
    closure - the Closure to invoke on each file/directory and optionally returning a FileVisitResult value which can be used to control subsequent processing
    See Also:

    FileVisitResult
    FileType
    Since:
    1.7.1
  - public static void traverse(File self, @ClosureParamslosure); Closure closure)
    
    Invokes the closure for each descendant file in this directory tree. Sub-directories are recursively traversed in a depth-first fashion. Convenience method for traverse(java.io.File, java.util.Map, groovy.lang.Closure) when no options to alter the traversal behavior are required.
    throws:
    FileNotFoundException if the given directory does not exist
    throws:
    IllegalArgumentException if the provided File object does not represent a directory
    
    Parameters:
    self - a File
    closure - the Closure to invoke on each file/directory and optionally returning a FileVisitResult value which can be used to control subsequent processing
    See Also:
    traverse(java.io.File, java.util.Map, groovy.lang.Closure)
    Since:
    1.7.1
  - public static void traverse(File self, Map options)
    
    Invokes the closure specified with key 'visit' in the options Map for each descendant file in this directory tree. Convenience method for traverse(java.io.File, java.util.Map, groovy.lang.Closure) allowing the 'visit' closure to be included in the options Map rather than as a parameter.
    throws:
    FileNotFoundException if the given directory does not exist
    throws:
    IllegalArgumentException if the provided File object does not represent a directory or illegal filter combinations are supplied
    
    Parameters:
    self - a File
    options - a Map of options to alter the traversal behavior

  - public static Object withObjectInputStream(File file, @ClosureParams(value=SimpleType.class, options="java.io.ObjectInputStream") Closure closure)
    
    Create a new ObjectInputStream for this file and pass it to the closure. This method ensures the stream is closed after the closure returns.
    throws:
    IOException if an IOException occurs.
    
    Parameters:
    file - a File
    closure - a closure
    Returns:
    the value returned by the closure

  - public static Object withObjectInputStream(File file, ClassLoader classLoader, @ClosureParams(value=SimpleType.class, options="java.io.ObjectInputStream") Closure closure)
    
    Create a new ObjectInputStream for this file associated with the given class loader and pass it to the closure. This method ensures the stream is closed after the closure returns.
    throws:
    IOException if an IOException occurs.
    
    Parameters:
    file - a File
    classLoader - the class loader to use when loading the class
    closure - a closure
    Returns:
    the value returned by the closure

  - public static Object withObjectOutputStream(File file, @ClosureParams(value=SimpleType.class, options="java.io.ObjectOutputStream") Closure closure)
    
    Create a new ObjectOutputStream for this file and then pass it to the closure. This method ensures the stream is closed after the closure returns.
    throws:
    IOException if an IOException occurs.
    
    Parameters:
    file - a File
    closure - a closure
    Returns:
    the value returned by the closure

  - public static Object withReader(URL url, @ClosureParams Closure closure)
  - public static Object withReader(URL url, String charset, @ClosureParams Closure closure)
  - public static Object withWriter(File file, @ClosureParams Closure closure)
    
    Creates a new BufferedWriter for this file, passes it to the closure, and ensures the stream is flushed and closed after the closure returns.
    throws:
    IOException if an IOException occurs.
    
    Parameters:
    file - a File
    closure - a closure
    Returns:
    the value returned by the closure

  - public static void write(File file, String text)
    
    Write the text to the File.
    throws:
    IOException if an IOException occurs.
    
    Parameters:
    file - a File
    text - the text to write to the File
    Since:
    1.0
  - public static void write(File file, String text, String charset)
    
    Write the text to the File, using the specified encoding.
    throws:
    IOException if an IOException occurs.
