Defined in:
lib/epitools/typed_struct.rb

Overview

Like a Stuct, but automatically casts assignments to specific types.

Example:

class SomeRecord < TypedStruct["some_id:int amount:float name:string a,b,c:bool untyped_var"]
end

record = SomeRecord.new(69, 12348.871, "stringy", true, 1, "no", Object.new)

another_record = SomeRecord.new :amount=>"1.5", :name=>"Steve", :c=>"true", :a=>"disable", :untyped_var=>Ratio.new(1/2)
record.amount *= 3.141592653589793238462643383279

Recognized types, and what they get converted into:

<no type given>              => Don't enforce a type -- any ruby object is allowed.
["str", "string"]            => String
["sym", "symbol"]            => Symbol
["int", "integer"]           => Integer
["float"]                    => Float
["bigdecimal"]               => BigDecimal
["hex"]                      => Integer
["date", "time", "datetime"] => DateTime (using DateTime.parse)
["timestamp", "unixtime"]    => Time (using Time.at)
["bool", "boolean"]          => Boolean, using the following rules:
                                 false when: false, nil, 0, "0", "off", "no",
                                             "false", "disabled", "disable"
                                  true when: true, 1, "1", "on",  "yes",
                                             "true", "enabled", "enable"
