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!
- Companion:
- object
Value members
Concrete methods
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 typeAny
,x.equals(x)
should returntrue
. - It is symmetric: for any instances
x
andy
of typeAny
,x.equals(y)
should returntrue
if and only ify.equals(x)
returnstrue
. - It is transitive: for any instances
x
,y
, andz
of typeAny
ifx.equals(y)
returnstrue
andy.equals(z)
returnstrue
, thenx.equals(z)
should returntrue
.
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
