Ruby assign context to lambda?

Question

Is it possible not to assign context to lambda?

For example:

class Rule
  def get_rule
    return lambda {puts name}
  end
end

class Person
  attr_accessor :name

  def init_rule 
    @name = "ruby"
    Rule.new.get_rule.call() # should say "ruby" but say what object of class Rull, does not have variable name
    # or self.instance_eval &Rule.new.get_rule
  end
end

My target is -> stored procedure objects without contexts, and assign context before call in specific places. Is it possible?

Answer 1

A bit late to party, but here's an alternate way of doing this by explicitly passing the context to the rule.

class Rule
  def get_rule
    return lambda{|context| puts context.name}
  end
end

class Person
  attr_accessor :name
  def init_rule
    @name = "ruby"
    Rule.new.get_rule.call(self)
  end
end

Person.new.init_rule
#=> ruby

Answer 2

Yeah, but be careful with it, this one is really easy to abuse. I would personally be apprehensive of code like this.

class Rule
  def get_rule
    Proc.new { puts name }
  end
end

class Person
  attr_accessor :name

  def init_rule 
    @name = "ruby"
    instance_eval(&Rule.new.get_rule)
  end
end
