Constructor Details

#initialize(constructor = {}) ⇒ Mash

Initializes a new mash.

Parameters:

  • constructor (Hash, Object) (defaults to: {})

    The default value for the mash. If constructor is a Hash, a new mash will be created based on the keys of the hash and no default value will be set.

Instance Method Details

#[]=(key, value) ⇒ Object

Sets the value associated with the specified key.

Parameters:

  • key (Object)

    The key to set.

  • value (Object)

    The value to set the key to.

end

#convert_key(key) ⇒ Object (protected)

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Parameters:

  • key (Object)

    The key to convert.

  • The (Object)

    converted key. If the key was a symbol, it will be converted to a string.

end

#convert_value(value) ⇒ Object (protected)

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Returns The converted value. A Hash or an Array of hashes, will be converted to their Mash equivalents.

Parameters:

  • value (Object)

    The value to convert.

Returns:

  • (Object)

    The converted value. A Hash or an Array of hashes, will be converted to their Mash equivalents.

  if value.class == Hash
     mash = Mash.new(value)
     mash.default = value.default
     mash
  elsif value.is_a?(Array)
    value.collect { |e| convert_value(e) }
  else
    value
  end
end

#default(key = nil) ⇒ Object

Gets the default value for the mash.

Parameters:

  • key (Object) (defaults to: nil)

    The default value for the mash. If key is a Symbol and it is a key in the mash, then the default value will be set to the value matching the key.
