DotHash

A very efficient gem that lets you use hashes as object properties. It is almost as fast as a plain Hash since it's complexity is also linear, O(n) # where N is the number of nested parents of the given property.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dot_hash'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dot_hash

Usage

some_hash = {size: {height: 100, width: 500}, "color" => "red"}
properties = some_hash.to_properties

properties.size.height # returns 100, it is the same as some_hash[:size][:height]
properties.color       # returns "red", it works with Strings and Symbol keys
properties[:color]     # returns "red", can be used like a hash with string keys
properties["color"]    # returns "red", can be used like a hash with symbol keys
