Description¶ ↑
Slicing for Ruby hashes.
Installation¶ ↑
gem install hashslice
Synopsis¶ ↑
require 'hashslice' hash = {'a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3} # Slice reference hash['a', 'b'] # -> [1, 2] hash['a'] # -> 1 # Slice assignment hash['a', 'b'] = 7, 8 hash # -> {'a' => 7, 'b' => 8, 'c' => 3} # Sub hash hash.hash_of('a', 'b') # -> {'a' => 1, 'b' => 2}
Overview¶ ↑
This library modifies the Hash#[]
and Hash#[]=
methods so that they can handle list reference or assignment. It also adds the Hash#hash_of
method that returns a hash slice.
Hash#¶ ↑
If more than one key is provided then an array is returned. Single keys work as before, i.e. they return a single value.
Hash#=(*values)¶ ↑
The values on the right are assigned to the keys on left on a one for one If there are more values than keys, the extra values are dropped.
