Overview

A Dash is a 'defined' or 'discrete' Hash, that is, a Hash that has a set of defined keys that are accessible (with optional defaults) and only those keys may be set or read.

Dashes are useful when you need to create a very simple lightweight data object that needs even fewer options and resources than something like a DataMapper resource.

It is preferrable to a Struct because of the in-class API for defining properties as well as per-property defaults.

Constructor Details

#initialize(attributes = {}, &block) ⇒ Dash

.property(property_name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Defines a property on the Dash. Options are as follows:

  • :default - Specify a default value for this property, to be returned before a value is set on the property in a new Dash.

  • :required - Specify the value as required for this property, to raise an error if a value is unset in a new or existing Dash. If a Proc is provided, it will be run in the context of the Dash instance. If a Symbol is provided, the property it represents must not be nil. The property is only required if the value is truthy.

  • :message - Specify custom error message for required property
