Private Instance Methods
inspect_args()
click to toggle source
OrderedExpression's initializer takes the :nulls information inside a hash, so if a NULL order was given, include a hash with that information.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/eval_inspect.rb 167 def inspect_args 168 if nulls 169 [:expression, :descending, :opts_hash] 170 else 171 [:expression, :descending] 172 end 173 end
opts_hash()
click to toggle source
A hash of null information suitable for passing to the initializer.
