Mashed

A Mash.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mashed'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mashed

Usage

Mash = Mashed::Mash

m = Mash.new(title: "Hello", starred: false, completed_at: nil)

m.title # => "Hello"
m.methods # => ["title", "starred", "completed_at"]

tasks = Api(:tasks, :v1).get("/tasks", list_id: "inbox").json.map { |hash| Mash.new(hash) }

tasks.each do |task|
  puts tasks.title
end

A Mash Is Not A Hash

Mash = Mashed::Mash

m = Mash.new(a: "A", b: "B")
m.map { |key, value| puts [key, value].inspect } # => raise

# assuming activesupport is present...

m.with_indifferent_access # => nil
# there is no key of "with_indifferent_access" for the internal hash

StringyHash

To help make the Mash work there also is a StringyHash class. It's a simple delegate to the normal Hash except that it tries to enforce that all incoming and outgoing keys are strings.

Usage

StringyHash = Mash::StringyHash

sh = StringyHash.new(title: "Hello", starred: false, completed_at: nil)
sh.keys # => ["title", "starred", "completed_at"]
sh[:title] # => "Hello"
sh["title"] # => "Hello"

class Title
  def to_s
    "title"
  end
end

sh[Title.new] # => "Hello"
