Hash Reject Recursively

Like Hash#reject but recursively.

Deletes recursively every key-value pair from hash for which block evaluates to true.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hash_reject_recursively'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hash_reject_recursively

Usage

languages = {
  ruby: { lines: 100 },
  python: { lines: nil },
  java: { lines: nil },
  php: nil
}

new_hash = languages.deep_reject { |key, value| value.nil? }
# new_hash == { ruby: { lines: 100 }, python: {}, java: {} }

new_hash = languages.deep_reject { |key, value| value.blank? } # Rails example
# new_hash == { ruby: { lines: 100 } }

languages.deep_reject! { |key, value| value.nil? }
# languages == { ruby: { lines: 100 }, python: {}, java: {} }

Note 1: deep_reject! changes the original object

Note 2: .blank? in example above it's Rails implementation method.
