SafeClone

This tiny gem implements a version of clone called safe_clone. Unlike the standard clone method, the safe_clone method does not throw ant exception when sent to un-clonable objects like 42 or true. These simply return themselves and this is correct because those types of objects do not NEED to be cloned. Instead of blowing up in a hissy fit, the code just works!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'safe_clone'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install safe_clone

Usage

require 'safe_clone'

then, in those places where regular clone was problematic, use:

foo = my_object.safe_clone

instead of

foo = my_object.clone
