Ref

class Ref[+A <: AnyRef](val value: A, refEquals: (Ref[_ <: AnyRef], Ref[_ <: AnyRef]) => Boolean) extends Equals

Wraps a value with desired equals semantics to give Signal of Ref[A] desirable performance or semantic characteristics (see Ref companion object methods for details).

Note: This is not a generic replacement of the Equals trait. This is only for use in Signals and State.

More documentation is coming once I convince myself that this is the right design.

Value parameters:
refEquals

Must not throw!

Value members

Concrete methods

override def canEqual(that: Any): Boolean
Definition Classes
Equals
override def equals(obj: Any): Boolean

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

  • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

Value parameters:
that

the object to compare against this object for equality.

Returns:

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

Definition Classes
Equals -> Any
override def toString: String

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns a string representation of the object.

The default representation is platform dependent.

Returns:

a string representation of the object.
