Method: Indifference::HashWithIndifferentAccess#update

Defined in:
lib/indifference/hash_with_indifferent_access.rb

#update(other_hash) ⇒ Object Also known as: merge!

Updates the receiver in-place, merging in the hash passed as argument:

hash_1 = Indifference::HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash_1[:key] = 'value'

hash_2 = Indifference::HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash_2[:key] = 'New Value!'

hash_1.update(hash_2) # => {"key"=>"New Value!"}

The argument can be either an Indifference::HashWithIndifferentAccess or a regular Hash. In either case the merge respects the semantics of indifferent access.

If the argument is a regular hash with keys :key and “key” only one of the values end up in the receiver, but which one is unspecified.

When given a block, the value for duplicated keys will be determined by the result of invoking the block with the duplicated key, the value in the receiver, and the value in other_hash. The rules for duplicated keys follow the semantics of indifferent access:

hash_1[:key] = 10
hash_2['key'] = 12
hash_1.update(hash_2) { |key, old, new| old + new } # => {"key"=>22}
