Overview

A Hash subclass that normalizes the hash keys to allow lookup by the key.to_s or key.to_sym. It also supports looking up hash values by methods that match the keys.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(m, *args, &block) ⇒ Boolean

Handles requests for Hash values. Others cause an Exception to be raised.

Parameters:

  • m (Symbol|String) —

    method symbol

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    the value of the specified instance variable.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if an argument is given. Zero arguments expected.

  • (NoMethodError) —

    if the instance variable is not defined.

def method_missing(m, *args, &block)
  raise ArgumentError.new("wrong number of arguments (#{args.size} for 0 with #{m}) to method #{m}") unless args.nil? or args.empty?
  return fetch(m, nil) if has_key?(m)
  return fetch(m.to_s, nil) if has_key?(m.to_s)
  return fetch(m.to_sym, nil) if has_key?(m.to_sym)
  raise NoMethodError.new("undefined method #{m}", m)

def [](key)
  return fetch(key, nil) if has_key?(key)
  return fetch(key.to_s, nil) if has_key?(key.to_s)
  fetch(key.to_sym, nil)
end

#respond_to?(m) ⇒ Boolean

Replaces the Object.respond_to?() method.

Parameters:

  • m (Symbol) —

    method symbol

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true for any method that matches an instance variable reader, otherwise false.
