  end
end

#extractable_options? ⇒ Boolean

Always returns true, so that Array#extract_options! finds members of this class.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#key?(key) ⇒ Boolean Also known as: include?, has_key?, member?

Checks the hash for a key matching the argument passed in:

hash = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash["key"] = "value"
hash.key? :key  # => true
hash.key? "key" # => true

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#merge(hash) ⇒ Object

#reverse_merge(other_hash) ⇒ Object

Performs the opposite of merge, with the keys and values from the first hash taking precedence over the second. This overloaded definition prevents returning a regular hash, if reverse_merge is called on a HashWithDifferentAccess.

hash_1[:key] = "value"

hash_2 = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash_2[:key] = "New Value!"
