Class: Hashie::Dash
- Includes:
- PrettyInspect
- Defined in:
- lib/hashie/dash.rb
Overview
A Dash is a 'defined' or 'discrete' Hash, that is, a Hash that has a set of defined keys that are accessible (with optional defaults) and only those keys may be set or read.
Dashes are useful when you need to create a very simple lightweight data object that needs even fewer options and resources than something like a DataMapper resource.
It is preferrable to a Struct because of the in-class API for defining properties as well as per-property defaults.

-
#[](property) ⇒ Object
Retrieve a value from the Dash (will return the property's default value if it hasn't been set).
-

constructor
You may initialize a Dash with an attributes hash just like you would many other kinds of data objects.

.property(property_name, options = {}) ⇒ Object
Defines a property on the Dash. Options are as follows:
:default - Specify a default value for this property, to be returned before a value is set on the property in a new Dash.
:required - Specify the value as required for this property, to raise an error if a value is unset in a new or existing Dash.
