CodeBreaker...

...is breaking a Ruby code snippet into a sequence of classes and their connecting methods and statements.

It uses Parser under the hood to break statements into its types and statements based on Ruby Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) nodes.

Examples

Variable Assignment

Local variables:

CodeBreaker.parse("breakfast = 'Ham and backon'.upcase + 'Nom, nom!'")
# => {:lvasgn=>[:breakfast, [String, :upcase, :+, String]]} 

Class variables:

CodeBreaker.parse("@@breakfast = 'Ham and eggs'.upcase + 'Nom, nom!'")
# => {:cvasgn=>[:@@breakfast, [String, :upcase, :+, String]]}

Instance variables:

CodeBreaker.parse("@breakfast = 'Ham and eggs'.upcase + 'Nom, nom!'")
# => {:ivasgn=>[:@breakfast, [String, :upcase, :+, String]]}

Global variables:

CodeBreaker.parse("$breakfast = 'Ham and eggs'.upcase + 'Nom, nom!'")
# => {:gvasgn=>[:$breakfast, [String, :upcase, :+, String]]} 

Constants:

CodeBreaker.parse("BEST_BREAKFAST = 'Ham and eggs'.freeze")
# => {:casgn=>[:BEST_BREAKFAST, [String, :freeze]]}

Multiple variables:

CodeBreaker.parse("food, drink = 'Bread', false")
# => {:masgn=>{[:food, :drink]=>[String, FalseClass]}}

Operation assignment:

CodeBreaker.parse("count += 1")
# => {:op_asgn=>[{:lvasgn=>[:count]}, :+, Fixnum]}

Or assignment:

CodeBreaker.parse("@gem_name ||= 'code_breaker'")
# => {:or_asgn=>[{:ivasgn=>[:@gem_name]}, String]}

And assignment:

CodeBreaker.parse("valid &&= (gem_name == 'code_breaker')")
# => {:and_asgn=>[{:lvasgn=>[:valid]}, [[:gem_name, :==, String]]]}
