AttrInit

So ruby has Struct but I never use it because: 1. I have to extend the class with Struct 2. It makes your instance_variables public 3. It does not use hash initialization

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

“by gem ‘attr_init’

“

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install attr_init

Usage

Initializer

“by class Foo attr_init :a, :b end

f = Foo.new(a: 0, b: 1)

f.a NoMethodError: undefined method: a’ for #Bar:0xb811601c @a=0, @b=1

“f you want to you can override it:

“by

class Foo attr_init :a, :b def initialize(params, opt=nil) if opt.nil? do_other_initializer else attr_init(params) end end end

“

Initializer with readers

“by class Bar reader_struct :a, :b end

b = Bar.new(a: 0, b: 1)

b.a

b.a = 2 NoMethodError: undefined method: a=‘ for #Bar:0xb931e250 @a=0, @b=1

“

Initializer with accessors

“by class Dah accessor_struct :a, :b end

d = Dah.new(a: 0, b: 1)

d.a

d.a = 2

“

Struct adds #to_h

“by class Dah accessor_struct :a, :b end

d = Dah.new(a: 0, b: 1)

d.to_h

“
