Lift

Micro library for common pattern of initializing an object with a hash and yielding itself to a block. This pattern is repeated widely across the Ruby ecosystem. I duplicated this code across multiple projects and eventually got sick of it so give you Lift!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'lift'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install lift

Usage

class Person
  include Lift

  attr_accessor :name, :email
end

Person.new name: 'adam', email: '[email protected]'

Person.new name: 'adam' do |adam|
  adam.email = '[email protected]'
end

NOTE: Lift calls super with no arguments. This is so it can be used in classes that include modules with their own initialize method. If an ancestor's initialize method takes arguments then you should not use this library.
