Instance Method Details

#coerce_key(*attrs) ⇒ Object Also known as: coerce_keys

Set up a coercion rule such that any time the specified key is set it will be coerced into the specified class. Coercion will occur by first attempting to call Class.coerce and then by calling Class.new with the value as an argument in either case.

Examples:

Coerce a "user" subhash into a User object

class Tweet < Hash
  include Hashie::Extensions::Coercion
  coerce_key :user, User
end

Parameters:

  • key (Object) —

    the key or array of keys you would like to be coerced.

  • into (Class) —

    the class into which you want the key(s) coerced.

def coerce_key(*attrs)
  @key_coercions ||= {}
  into = attrs.pop
  attrs.each { |key| @key_coercions[key] = into }
end

#coerce_value(from, into, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Set up a coercion rule such that any time a value of the specified type is set it will be coerced into the specified class.

Examples:

Coerce all hashes into this special type of hash

class SpecialHash < Hash
  include Hashie::Extensions::Coercion
  coerce_value Hash, SpecialHash

  def initialize(hash = {})
    super
    hash.each_pair do |k,v|
      self[k] = v
    end
  end
end

Parameters:

  • from (Class) —

    the type you would like coerced.

  • into (Class) —

    the class into which you would like the value coerced.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (options):

  • :strict (Boolean) — default: true —

    whether use exact source class only or include ancestors
