#initialize(hash = {}) ⇒ ViewModel

View Model

A View Model is a class that allows you to set an arbitrary hash of attributes and access all values by calling attribute methods.

Examples

model = ViewModel.new(a: 1, b: {b1: 1, b2: 2}, c: 3)

model.a   # => 1
model.b   # => {b1: 1, b2: 2}
model.c   # => 3

Reserved methods or attributes are left untouched. If you want to access an attribute that collides with a reserved method, you can do it via the to_hash method.

model = ViewModel.new(class: "test")

model.class             # => ViewModel
model.to_hash[:class]   # => "test"
