Overview

This class has dubious semantics and we only have it so that people can write params instead of params and they get the same value for both keys.

Instance Method Details

#[]=(key, value) ⇒ Object

hash = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash[:key] = "value"

def dup
  HashWithIndifferentAccess.new(self)

Fetches the value for the specified key, same as doing hash

#key?(key) ⇒ Boolean Also known as: include?, has_key?, member?

Checks the hash for a key matching the argument passed in:

hash = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash["key"] = "value"
hash.key? :key  # => true
hash.key? "key" # => true

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

end

#merge(hash) ⇒ Object

Merges the instantized and the specified hashes together, giving precedence to the values from the second hash Does not overwrite the existing hash.

Updates the instantized hash with values from the second:

hash_1 = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash_1[:key] = "value"

hash_2 = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash_2[:key] = "New Value!"

#values_at(*indices) ⇒ Object

Returns an array of the values at the specified indices:

hash = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash[:a] = "x"
