Instance Method Details

#slice(*keys) ⇒ Object

Slice a hash to include only the given keys. This is useful for limiting an options hash to valid keys before passing to a method:

def search(criteria = {})
  assert_valid_keys(:mass, :velocity, :time)
end

search(options.slice(:mass, :velocity, :time))

If you have an array of keys you want to limit to, you should splat them:

valid_keys = [:mass, :velocity, :time]
search(options.slice(*valid_keys))

def slice(*keys)
  keys.each_with_object(self.class.new) { |k, hash| hash[k] = self[k] if has_key?(k) }
end

#slice!(*keys) ⇒ Object

Replaces the hash with only the given keys. Returns a hash containing the removed key/value pairs.

{:a => 1, :b => 2, :c => 3, :d => 4}.slice!(:a, :b) # => {:c => 3, :d => 4}
