Module: Gibbler::Hash

Includes:
Object
Included in:
Hash
Defined in:
lib/gibbler.rb

Overview

Creates a digest based on:

  • parse each key, value pair into an Array containing keys: CLASS:KEY:VALUE.__gibbler

    • The gibbler method is called on each element so if it is a Hash or Array etc it will be parsed recursively according to the gibbler method for that class type.

  • Digest the Array of digests

  • Return the digest for class:length:value where:

    • “class” is equal to the current object class (e.g. Hash).

    • “length” is the size of the Array of digests (which should equal the number of keys in the original Hash object).

    • “value” is the Array of digests joined with a colon (“:”).

This method can be used by any class with a keys method. 

class MyOrderedHash
  include Gibbler::Hash
