Instance Method Details

#assert_valid_keys(*valid_keys) ⇒ Object

Validates all keys in a hash match *valid_keys, raising ArgumentError on a mismatch.

Note that keys are treated differently than HashWithIndifferentAccess, meaning that string and symbol keys will not match.

{ name: 'Rob', years: '28' }.assert_valid_keys(:name, :age) # => raises "ArgumentError: Unknown key: :years. Valid keys are: :name, :age"
{ name: 'Rob', age: '28' }.assert_valid_keys('name', 'age') # => raises "ArgumentError: Unknown key: :name. Valid keys are: 'name', 'age'"
{ name: 'Rob', age: '28' }.assert_valid_keys(:name, :age)   # => passes, raises nothing

  each_key do |k|
    unless valid_keys.include?(k)
      raise ArgumentError.new("Unknown key: #{k.inspect}. Valid keys are: #{valid_keys.map(&:inspect).join(', ')}")
    end
  end
end

#deep_stringify_keys ⇒ Object

Returns a new hash with all keys converted to strings. This includes the keys from the root hash and from all nested hashes and arrays.

hash = { person: { name: 'Rob', age: '28' } }

hash.deep_stringify_keys
# => {"person"=>{"name"=>"Rob", "age"=>"28"}}

#deep_symbolize_keys ⇒ Object

Returns a new hash with all keys converted to symbols, as long as they respond to to_sym. This includes the keys from the root hash and from all nested hashes and arrays.

hash = { 'person' => { 'name' => 'Rob', 'age' => '28' } }

hash.deep_symbolize_keys
# => {:person=>{:name=>"Rob", :age=>"28"}}

#deep_transform_keys(&block) ⇒ Object

Returns a new hash with all keys converted by the block operation. This includes the keys from the root hash and from all nested hashes and arrays.

hash = { person: { name: 'Rob', age: '28' } }

hash.deep_transform_keys{ |key| key.to_s.upcase }
# => {"PERSON"=>{"NAME"=>"Rob", "AGE"=>"28"}}

#deep_transform_keys!(&block) ⇒ Object

Destructively converts all keys by using the block operation. This includes the keys from the root hash and from all nested hashes and arrays.

#except(*keys) ⇒ Object

Returns a hash that includes everything except given keys.

hash = { a: true, b: false, c: nil }
hash.except(:c)     # => { a: true, b: false }
hash.except(:a, :b) # => { c: nil }
hash                # => { a: true, b: false, c: nil }

This is useful for limiting a set of parameters to everything but a few known toggles:

@person.update(params[:person].except(:admin))

def except(*keys)
  dup.except!(*keys)
end

#except!(*keys) ⇒ Object

Removes the given keys from hash and returns it.

hash = { a: true, b: false, c: nil }
hash.except!(:c) # => { a: true, b: false }
hash             # => { a: true, b: false }

  self
end

#extract!(*keys) ⇒ Object

Removes and returns the key/value pairs matching the given keys.

{ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4 }.extract!(:a, :b) # => {:a=>1, :b=>2}
{ a: 1, b: 2 }.extract!(:a, :x)             # => {:a=>1}

def extract!(*keys)
  keys.each_with_object(self.class.new) { |key, result| result[key] = delete(key) if has_key?(key) }
end

#slice(*keys) ⇒ Object

Slices a hash to include only the given keys. Returns a hash containing the given keys.

{ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4 }.slice(:a, :b)
# => {:a=>1, :b=>2}

This is useful for limiting an options hash to valid keys before passing to a method:

def search(criteria = {})
  criteria.assert_valid_keys(:mass, :velocity, :time)
end

search(options.slice(:mass, :velocity, :time))

If you have an array of keys you want to limit to, you should splat them:

valid_keys = [:mass, :velocity, :time]
search(options.slice(*valid_keys))

  keys.each_with_object(self.class.new) { |k, hash| hash[k] = self[k] if has_key?(k) }
end

#slice!(*keys) ⇒ Object

Replaces the hash with only the given keys. Returns a hash containing the removed key/value pairs.

{ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4 }.slice!(:a, :b)
# => {:c=>3, :d=>4}

  hash.default_proc = default_proc if default_proc
  replace(hash)
  omit
end

#stringify_keys ⇒ Object

#symbolize_keys ⇒ Object Also known as: to_options

Returns a new hash with all keys converted to symbols, as long as they respond to to_sym.

hash.symbolize_keys
# => {:name=>"Rob", :age=>"28"}

#transform_keys ⇒ Object

Returns a new hash with all keys converted using the block operation.

hash = { name: 'Rob', age: '28' }

hash.transform_keys { |key| key.to_s.upcase } # => {"NAME"=>"Rob", "AGE"=>"28"}

If you do not provide a block, it will return an Enumerator for chaining with other methods:

hash.transform_keys.with_index { |k, i| [k, i].join } # => {"name0"=>"Rob", "age1"=>"28"}
