BetterStruct

Use your data without pain. It behaves like OpenStruct with monads. Look at the examples below.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'better_struct'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install better_struct

Usage

Maybe monad

BetterStruct.new(nil) == BetterStruct.new(nil).some_method # => true

Everything is wrapped

better_struct = BetterStruct.new("foobar")

better_struct[0..2].is_a?(BetterStruct)        # => true
better_struct[0..2] == BetterStruct.new("foo") # => true

better_struct = BetterStruct.new([1, 2, 3])

result = better_struct.all? { |i| i.is_a?(BetterStruct) }

result.is_a?(BetterStruct)       # => true
result == BetterStruct.new(true) # => true

Like OpenStruct

some_hash = { "FooBar1" => { foo_bar2: "Hello World!" } }
better_struct = BetterStruct.new(some_hash)

better_struct.foo_bar1.foo_bar2 == BetterStruct.new("Hello World!") # => true

Leaving the monad

better_struct = BetterStruct.new("foobar")

better_struct.gsub("foo", "super-").value == "super-foo" # => true

Testing

$ ruby -Ilib:test test/better_struct_test.rb
