Overview
TreeNode Class Description
This class models the nodes for an N-ary tree data structue. The nodes are named and have a place-holder for the node data (i.e., content of the node). The node names are required to be unique within the tree (as the name is implicitly used as an ID within the data structure).
The node's content is not required to be unique across different nodes in the tree, and can be nil as well.
The class provides various methods to navigate the tree, traverse the structure, modify contents of the node, change position of the node in the tree, and to make structural changes to the tree.
A node can have any number of child nodes attached to it and hence can be used to create N-ary trees. Access to the child nodes can be made in order (with the conventional left to right access), or randomly.
The node also provides direct access to its parent node as well as other superior parents in the path to root of the tree. In addition, a node can also access its sibling nodes, if present.
Note that while this implementation does not explicitly support directed graphs, the class itself makes no restrictions on associating a node's content with multiple nodes in the tree. However, having duplicate nodes within the structure is likely to cause unpredictable behavior.
Example
The following example implements this tree structure:
+------------+
| ROOT |
+-----+------+
+-------------+------------+
| |
+-------+-------+ +-------+-------+
| CHILD 1 | | CHILD 2 |
+-------+-------+ +---------------+
|
|
+-------+-------+
| GRANDCHILD 1 |
+---------------+
# ..... Example starts.
require 'tree' # Load the library
# ..... Create the root node first. Note that every node has a name and an optional content payload.
root_node = Tree::TreeNode.new("ROOT", "Root Content")
root_node.print_tree
# ..... Now insert the child nodes. Note that you can "chain" the child insertions for a given path to any depth.
root_node << Tree::TreeNode.new("CHILD1", "Child1 Content") << Tree::TreeNode.new("GRANDCHILD1", "GrandChild1 Content")
root_node << Tree::TreeNode.new("CHILD2", "Child2 Content")
# ..... Lets print the representation to stdout. This is primarily used for debugging purposes.
root_node.print_tree
# ..... Lets directly access children and grandchildren of the root. The can be "chained" for a given path to any depth.
child1 = root_node["CHILD1"]
grand_child1 = root_node["CHILD1"]["GRANDCHILD1"]
# ..... Now lets retrieve siblings of the current node as an array.
siblings_of_child1 = child1.siblings
# ..... Lets retrieve immediate children of the root node as an array.
children_of_root = root_node.children
# ..... This is a depth-first and L-to-R pre-ordered traversal.
root_node.each { |node| node.content.reverse }
# ..... Lets remove a child node from the root node.
root_node.remove!(child1)

Constructor Details
- (TreeNode) initialize(name, content = nil)
If the name is an Integer, then the semantics of TreeNode[] can be surprising, as an Integer parameter to that method normally acts as an index to the children array, and follows the zero-based indexing convention.
Creates a new node with a name and optional content. The node name is expected to be unique within the tree.
The content can be of any type, and defaults to nil.

- (Object) name (readonly)
Name of this node. Expected to be unique within the tree.
Note that the name attribute really functions as an ID within the tree structure, and hence the uniqueness constraint is required.
This may be changed in the future, but for now it is best to retain unique names within the tree structure, and use the content attribute for any non-unique node requirements.

Class Method Details
+ (Tree::TreeNode) json_create(json_hash)
Helper method to create a Tree::TreeNode instance from the JSON hash representation. Note that this method should NOT be called directly. Instead, to convert the JSON hash back to a tree, do:
tree = JSON.parse (the_json_hash)
This operation requires the JSON gem to be available, or else the operation fails with a warning message.

Instance Method Details
- (Tree::TreeNode) <<(child)
Convenience synonym for #add method.
This method allows an easy mechanism to add node hierarchies to the tree on a given path via chaining the method calls to successive child nodes.
279 280 281 |
# File 'lib/tree.rb', line 279 def <<(child) add(child) end |
- (Integer) <=>(other)
Provides a comparision operation for the nodes.
Comparision is based on the natural character-set ordering of the node name.
753 754 755 756 |
# File 'lib/tree.rb', line 753 def <=>(other) return +1 if other == nil self.name <=> other.name end |
- (Tree::TreeNode) [](name_or_index, num_as_name = false)
The use of Integer names is allowed by using the optional num_as_name flag.
Returns the requested node from the set of immediate children.
-
If the name argument is an Integer, then the in-sequence array of children is accessed using the argument as the index (zero-based). However, if the second optional num_as_name argument is true, then the name is used literally as a name, and NOT as an index
-
If the name argument is NOT an Integer, then it is taken to be the name of the child node to be returned.
If a non-Integer name is passed, and the num_as_name parameter is also true, then a warning is thrown (as this is a redundant use of the num_as_name flag.)

# File 'lib/tree.rb', line 559 def [](name_or_index, num_as_name=false) raise ArgumentError, "Name_or_index needs to be provided!" if name_or_index == nil if name_or_index.kind_of?(Integer) and not num_as_name @children[name_or_index] else if num_as_name and not name_or_index.kind_of?(Integer) warn StandardWarning, "Redundant use of the `num_as_name` flag for non-integer node name" end @children_hash[name_or_index] end end |
- (Tree::TreeNode) add(child, at_index = -1))
Adds the specified child node to the receiver node.
This method can also be used for grafting a subtree into the receiver node's tree, if the specified child node is the root of a subtree (i.e., has child nodes under it).
The receiver node becomes parent of the node passed in as the argument, and the child is added as the last child ("right most") in the current set of children of the receiver node.
Additionally you can specify a insert position. The new node will be inserted BEFORE that position. If you don't specify any position the node will be just appended. This feature is provided to make implementation of node movement within the tree very simple.
If an insertion position is provided, it needs to be within the valid range of:
-children.size..children.size
This is to prevent nil nodes being created as children if a non-existant position is used.
name exists, or if an invalid insertion position is specified.

- (Object) breadth_each {|child| ... }
Performs breadth-first traversal of the (sub)tree rooted at the receiver node. The traversal at a given level is from left-to-right. The receiver node itself is the first node to be traversed.

# File 'lib/tree.rb', line 497 def breadth_each(&block) node_queue = [self] # Create a queue with self as the initial entry # Use a queue to do breadth traversal until node_queue.empty? node_to_traverse = node_queue.shift yield node_to_traverse # Enqueue the children from left to right. node_to_traverse.children { |child| node_queue.push child } end end |
- (Integer) depth
This method returns an incorrect value. Use the 'node_depth' method instead.
Returns depth of the tree from the receiver node. A single leaf node has a depth of 1.
This method is DEPRECATED and may be removed in the subsequent releases. Note that the value returned by this method is actually the:
height + 1 of the node, NOT the depth.
For correct and conventional behavior, please use #node_depth and #node_height methods instead.

- (Object) marshal_load(dumped_tree_array)
This method probably should be a class method. It currently clobbers self and makes itself the root.
Loads a marshalled dump of a tree and returns the root node of the reconstructed tree. See the Marshal class for additional details.

- (Object) preordered_each {|child| ... }
Traverses the (sub)tree rooted at the receiver node in pre-ordered sequence. This is a synonym of #each.

- (Tree::TreeNode) remove!(child)
Removes the specified child node from the receiver node.
This method can also be used for pruning a sub-tree, in cases where the removed child node is the root of the sub-tree to be pruned.
The removed child node is orphaned but accessible if an alternate reference exists. If accessible via an alternate reference, the removed child will report itself as a root node for its sub-tree.

- (Tree::TreeNode) remove_all!
Removes all children from the receiver node. If an indepedent reference exists to the child nodes, then these child nodes report themselves as roots after this operation.

- (Tree:TreeNode) remove_from_parent!
Removes the receiver node from its parent. The reciever node becomes the new root for its subtree.
If this is the root node, then does nothing.

# File 'lib/tree.rb', line 359 def remove_from_parent! @parent.remove!(self) unless is_root? end |
- (Object) to_json(*a)
Creates a JSON representation of this node including all it's children. This requires the JSON gem to be available, or else the operation fails with a warning message. Uses the Hash output of as_json method, defined above.

# File 'lib/tree.rb', line 841 def to_json(*a) as_json.to_json(*a) end |
- (String) to_s
Returns string representation of the receiver node. This method is primarily meant for debugging purposes.
