deep_merge(other_hash, &block) click to toggle source

Returns a new hash with self and other_hash merged recursively.

h1 = {x: {y: [4,5,6]}, z: [7,8,9]}
h2 = {x: {y: [7,8,9]}, z: "xyz"}

h1.deep_merge(h2) #=> {:x => {:y => [7, 8, 9]}, :z => "xyz"}
h2.deep_merge(h1) #=> {:x => {:y => [4, 5, 6]}, :z => [7, 8, 9]}
h1.deep_merge(h2) { |key, old, new| Array.wrap(old) + Array.wrap(new) }
#=> {:x => {:y => [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]}, :z => [7, 8, 9, "xyz"]}

deep_merge!(other_hash, &block) click to toggle source

Same as deep_merge, but modifies self.

# File lib/squire/core_ext/hash/deep_merge.rb, line 19
def deep_merge!(other_hash, &block)
  other_hash.each_pair do |k,v|
    tv = self[k]

    if tv.is_a?(Hash) && v.is_a?(Hash)
      self[k] = tv.deep_merge(v, &block)
    else
      self[k] = block ? block.call(k, tv, v) : v
    end
  end
  self
end
