Overview

An ‘Immutable::Hash` maps a set of unique keys to corresponding values, much like a dictionary maps from words to definitions. Given a key, it can store and retrieve an associated value in constant time. If an existing key is stored again, the new value will replace the old. It behaves much like Ruby’s built-in Hash, which we will call RubyHash for clarity. Like RubyHash, two keys that are ‘#eql?` to each other and have the same `#hash` are considered identical in an `Immutable::Hash`.

An ‘Immutable::Hash` can be created in a couple of ways:

Immutable::Hash.new(font_size: 10, font_family: 'Arial')
Immutable::Hash[first_name: 'John', last_name: 'Smith']

Any ‘Enumerable` object which yields two-element `[key, value]` arrays can be used to initialize an `Immutable::Hash`:

Immutable::Hash.new([[:first_name, 'John'], [:last_name, 'Smith']])

Key/value pairs can be added using #put. A new hash is returned and the existing one is left unchanged:

hash = Immutable::Hash[a: 100, b: 200]
hash.put(:c, 500) # => Immutable::Hash[:a => 100, :b => 200, :c => 500]
hash              # => Immutable::Hash[:a => 100, :b => 200]

#put can also take a block, which is used to calculate the value to be stored.

hash.put(:a) { |current| current + 200 } # => Immutable::Hash[:a => 300, :b => 200]

Since it is immutable, all methods which you might expect to “modify” a ‘Immutable::Hash` actually return a new hash and leave the existing one unchanged. This means that the `hash = value` syntax from RubyHash cannot be used with `Immutable::Hash`.

Nested data structures can easily be updated using #update_in:

hash = Immutable::Hash["a" => Immutable::Vector[Immutable::Hash["c" => 42]]]
hash.update_in("a", 0, "c") { |value| value + 5 }
# => Immutable::Hash["a" => Immutable::Hash["b" => Immutable::Hash["c" => 47]]]

While an ‘Immutable::Hash` can iterate over its keys or values, it does not guarantee any specific iteration order (unlike RubyHash). Methods like #flatten do not guarantee the order of returned key/value pairs.

Like RubyHash, an ‘Immutable::Hash` can have a default block which is used when looking up a key that does not exist. Unlike RubyHash, the default block will only be passed the missing key, without the hash itself:

hash = Immutable::Hash.new { |missing_key| missing_key * 10 }
hash[5] # => 50

Constructor Details

#initialize(pairs = nil) {|key| ... } ⇒ Hash

Returns a new instance of Hash.

Parameters:

  • pairs (::Enumerable) (defaults to: nil) —

    initial content of hash. An empty hash is returned if not provided.

Yields:

  • (key) —

    Optional _default block_ to be stored and used to calculate the default value of a missing key. It will not be yielded during this method. It will not be preserved when marshalling.

Yield Parameters:

  • key —

    Key that was not present in the hash.

.[](pairs = nil) ⇒ Hash

Create a new ‘Hash` populated with the given key/value pairs.

Examples:

Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2] # => Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2]
Immutable::Hash[["A", 1], ["B", 2]] # => Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2]

Parameters:

  • pairs (::Enumerable) (defaults to: nil) —

    initial content of hash. An empty hash is returned if not provided.

end

.alloc(trie = EmptyTrie, block = nil) ⇒ Hash

“Raw” allocation of a new ‘Hash`. Used internally to create a new instance quickly after obtaining a modified Trie.

Instance Method Details

#==(other) ⇒ Boolean

Return true if ‘other` has the same contents as this `Hash`. Will convert `other` to a Ruby `Hash` using `#to_hash` if necessary.

#fetch(key) ⇒ Object #fetch(key) {|key| ... } ⇒ Object #fetch(key, default) ⇒ Object

Retrieve the value corresponding to the given key object, or use the provided default value or block, or otherwise raise a ‘KeyError`.

Examples:

h = Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3]
h.fetch("B")         # => 2
h.fetch("Elephant")  # => KeyError: key not found: "Elephant"

# with a default value:
h.fetch("B", 99)         # => 2
h.fetch("Elephant", 99)  # => 99

# with a block:
h.fetch("B") { |key| key.size }         # => 2
h.fetch("Elephant") { |key| key.size }  # => 8

Overloads:

  • #fetch(key) ⇒ Object

  end
end

#find {|key, value| ... } ⇒ Array Also known as: detect

Yield ‘[key, value]` pairs until one is found for which the block returns true. Return that `[key, value]` pair. If the block never returns true, return `nil`.

Examples:

h = Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3]
h.find { |k, v| v.even? }
# => ["B", 2]

Yields:

  • (key, value) —

    At most once for each key/value pair, until the block returns ‘true`.

Yield Returns:

  • Truthy to halt iteration and return the yielded key/value pair.

Returns:

  • (Array)

def find
  return enum_for(:find) unless block_given?

  nil
end

#flatten(level = 1) ⇒ Vector

Return a new Vector which is a one-dimensional flattening of this ‘Hash`. If `level` is 1, all the `[key, value]` pairs in the hash will be concatenated into one Vector. If `level` is greater than 1, keys or values which are themselves `Array`s or Vectors will be recursively flattened into the output Vector. The depth to which that flattening will be recursively applied is determined by `level`.

As a special case, if ‘level` is 0, each `[key, value]` pair will be a separate element in the returned Vector.

Examples:

h = Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => [2, 3, 4]]
h.flatten
# => Immutable::Vector["A", 1, "B", [2, 3, 4]]
h.flatten(2)
# => Immutable::Vector["A", 1, "B", 2, 3, 4]

Parameters:

  • level (Integer) (defaults to: 1) —

    The number of times to recursively flatten the ‘[key, value]` pairs in this `Hash`.

  array = []
  each { |k,v| array << k; array << v }
  array.flatten!(level-1) if level > 1
  Vector.new(array.freeze)
end

#get(key) ⇒ Object Also known as: []

Retrieve the value corresponding to the provided key object. If not found, and this ‘Hash` has a default block, the default block is called to provide the value. Otherwise, return `nil`.

Examples:

h = Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3]
h["B"]             # => 2
h.get("B")         # => 2
h.get("Elephant")  # => nil

# Immutable Hash with a default proc:
h = Immutable::Hash.new("A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3) { |key| key.size }
h.get("B")         # => 2
h.get("Elephant")  # => 8

Parameters:

  • key (Object) —

    The key to look up

def hash
  keys.to_a.sort.reduce(0) do |hash, key|
    (hash << 32) - hash + key.hash + get(key).hash
  end
end

#inspect ⇒ String

Return the contents of this ‘Hash` as a programmer-readable `String`. If all the keys and values are serializable as Ruby literal strings, the returned string can be passed to `eval` to reconstitute an equivalent `Hash`. The default block (if there is one) will be lost when doing this, however.

Returns:

  • (String)

    i += 1
  end
  result << "]"
end

#invert ⇒ Hash

Return a new ‘Hash` created by using keys as values and values as keys. If there are multiple values which are equivalent (as determined by `#hash` and `#eql?`), only one out of each group of equivalent values will be retained. Which one specifically is undefined.

Examples:

Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3, "D" => 2].invert

end

#key(value) ⇒ Object

Searches through the ‘Hash`, comparing `value` with each value (using `#==`). When a matching value is found, return its associated key object. Return `nil` if no match is found.

Examples:

Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3].key(2)  # => "B"

end

#key?(key) ⇒ Boolean Also known as: has_key?, include?, member?

Return ‘true` if the given key object is present in this `Hash`. More precisely, return `true` if a key with the same `#hash` code, and which is also `#eql?` to the given key object is present.

Examples:

Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3].key?("B")  # => true

#keys ⇒ Set

Return a new Set containing the keys from this ‘Hash`.

Examples:

end

#map {|key, value| ... } ⇒ Hash Also known as: collect

Call the block once for each key/value pair in this ‘Hash`, passing the key/value pair as parameters. The block should return a `[key, value]` array each time. All the returned `[key, value]` arrays will be gathered into a new `Hash`.

Examples:

h = Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3]
h.map { |k, v| ["new-#{k}", v * v] }
# => Hash["new-C" => 9, "new-B" => 4, "new-A" => 1]

Yields:

  • (key, value) —

    Once for each key/value pair.

end

#merge(other) {|key, my_value, other_value| ... } ⇒ Hash

Return a new ‘Hash` containing all the key/value pairs from this `Hash` and `other`. If no block is provided, the value for entries with colliding keys will be that from `other`. Otherwise, the value for each duplicate key is determined by calling the block.

‘other` can be an `Immutable::Hash`, a built-in Ruby `Hash`, or any `Enumerable` object which yields `[key, value]` pairs.

Examples:

h1 = Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3]
h2 = Immutable::Hash["C" => 70, "D" => 80]
h1.merge(h2)
# => Immutable::Hash["C" => 70, "A" => 1, "D" => 80, "B" => 2]
h1.merge(h2) { |key, v1, v2| v1 + v2 }
# => Immutable::Hash["C" => 73, "A" => 1, "D" => 80, "B" => 2]

Parameters:

Yield Parameters:

  • key (Object) —

    The key which was present in both collections

  • my_value (Object) —

    The associated value from this ‘Hash`

  • other_value (Object) —

#pretty_print(pp) ⇒ Object

Allows this ‘Hash` to be printed at the `pry` console, or using `pp` (from the Ruby standard library), in a way which takes the amount of horizontal space on the screen into account, and which indents nested structures to make them easier to read.

Return a new ‘Hash` with the existing key/value associations, plus an association between the provided key and value. If an equivalent key is already present, its associated value will be replaced with the provided one.

If the ‘value` argument is missing, but an optional code block is provided, it will be passed the existing value (or `nil` if there is none) and what it returns will replace the existing value. This is useful for “transforming” the value associated with a certain key.

Avoid mutating objects which are used as keys. ‘String`s are an exception: unfrozen `String`s which are used as keys are internally duplicated and frozen. This matches RubyHash’s behaviour.

Examples:

h = Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2]
h.put("C", 3)
# => Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3]
h.put("B") { |value| value * 10 }
# => Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 20]

Parameters:

  • key (Object) —

    The key to store

  • value (Object) (defaults to: yield(get(key))) —

    The value to associate it with

Yields:

  • (value) —

    The previously stored value, or ‘nil` if none.

Yield Returns:

  • (Object) —

    The new value to store

Returns:

#rassoc(obj) ⇒ Array

Searches through the ‘Hash`, comparing `obj` with each value (using `#==`). When a matching value is found, return the `[key, value]` pair as an array. Return `nil` if no match is found.

Examples:

Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3].rassoc(2)  # => ["B", 2]

Parameters:

  • obj (Object) —

    The value to search for (using #==)

Returns:

  • (Array)

end

#reverse_each {|key, value| ... } ⇒ self

Call the block once for each key/value pair in this ‘Hash`, passing the key/value pair as parameters. Iteration order will be the opposite of #each.

Examples:

Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3].reverse_each { |k, v| puts "k=#{k} v=#{v}" }

k=B v=2
k=C v=3
k=A v=1
# => Immutable::Hash["A" => 1, "B" => 2, "C" => 3]

Yields:

  • (key, value) —

    Once for each key/value pair.

Returns:

  • (self)

end

#sort ⇒ Vector #sort({ |(k1, v1), (k2, v2)| ... }) {|(k1, v1), (k2, v2)| ... } ⇒ Vector

Return a sorted Vector which contains all the ‘[key, value]` pairs in this `Hash` as two-element `Array`s.

Overloads:

  • #sort ⇒ Vector

    Uses ‘#<=>` to determine sorted order.

  • #sort({ |(k1, v1), (k2, v2)| ... }) {|(k1, v1), (k2, v2)| ... } ⇒ Vector

    Uses the block as a comparator to determine sorted order.

    Examples:

    h = Immutable::Hash["Dog" => 1, "Elephant" => 2, "Lion" => 3]
h.sort { |(k1, v1), (k2, v2)| k1.size  <=> k2.size }
# => Immutable::Vector[["Dog", 1], ["Lion", 3], ["Elephant", 2]]

    Yields:

    • ((k1, v1), (k2, v2)) —

      Any number of times with different pairs of key/value associations.

    Yield Returns:

    • (Integer) —

      Negative if the first pair should be sorted lower, positive if the latter pair, or 0 if equal.

Returns:

def sort
  Vector.new(super)
end

#sort_by {|key, value| ... } ⇒ Vector

Return a Vector which contains all the ‘[key, value]` pairs in this `Hash` as two-element Arrays. The order which the pairs will appear in is determined by passing each pair to the code block to obtain a sort key object, and comparing the sort keys using `#<=>`.

Examples:

h = Immutable::Hash["Dog" => 1, "Elephant" => 2, "Lion" => 3]
h.sort_by { |key, value| key.size }
# => Immutable::Vector[["Dog", 1], ["Lion", 3], ["Elephant", 2]]

Yields:

  • (key, value) —

    Once for each key/value pair.

Yield Returns:

  • a sort key object for the yielded pair.

#update_in(*key_path) {|value| ... } ⇒ Hash

Return a new ‘Hash` with a deeply nested value modified to the result of the given code block. When traversing the nested `Hash`es and `Vector`s, non-existing keys are created with empty `Hash` values.

The code block receives the existing value of the deeply nested key (or ‘nil` if it doesn’t exist). This is useful for “transforming” the value associated with a certain key.

Note that the original ‘Hash` and sub-`Hash`es and sub-`Vector`s are left unmodified; new data structure copies are created along the path wherever needed.

Examples:

hash = Immutable::Hash["a" => Immutable::Hash["b" => Immutable::Hash["c" => 42]]]
hash.update_in("a", "b", "c") { |value| value + 5 }
# => Immutable::Hash["a" => Immutable::Hash["b" => Immutable::Hash["c" => 47]]]

Parameters:

  • key_path (::Array<Object>) —

    List of keys which form the path to the key to be modified

Yields:

  • (value) —

    The previously stored value

Yield Returns:

  • (Object) —

    The new value to store

    new_value = block.call(get(key))
  else
    value = fetch(key, EmptyHash)
    new_value = value.update_in(*key_path[1..-1], &block)
  end
  put(key, new_value)
end

#value?(value) ⇒ Boolean Also known as: has_value?

Return ‘true` if this `Hash` has one or more keys which map to the provided value.
