recursive-open-struct-sd
OpenStruct subclass that returns nested hash attributes as RecursiveOpenStructs.
It allows for hashes within hashes to be called in a chain of methods:
ros = RecursiveOpenStruct.new( { fooa: { foob: 'fooc' } } )
ros.fooa.foob # => 'fooc'
Also, if needed, nested hashes can still be accessed as hashes:
ros.fooa_as_a_hash # { foob: 'fooc' }
RecursiveOpenStruct can also optionally recurse across arrays, although you have to explicitly enable it:
h = { :somearr => [ { name: 'a'}, { name: 'b' } ] }
ros = RecursiveOpenStruct.new(h, recurse_over_arrays: true )
ros.somearr[0].name # => 'a'
ros.somearr[1].name # => 'b'
Also, by default it will turn all hash keys into symbols internally:
h = { 'fear' => 'is', 'the' => 'mindkiller' } }
ros = RecursiveOpenStruct.new(h)
ros.to_h # => { fear: 'is', the: 'mindkiller' }
You can preserve the original keys by enabling :preserve_original_keys
:
h = { 'fear' => 'is', 'the' => 'mindkiller' } }
ros = RecursiveOpenStruct.new(h, preserve_original_keys: true)
ros.to_h # => { 'fear' => 'is', 'the' => 'mindkiller' }
