Defined in:
lib/sugarcube-anonymous/anonymous.rb

Overview

A subclass of Hash that allows its keys to be accessed and assigned by method name. Useful to quickly mock objects. To that end, a NoMethodError is raised anytime the key doesn't exist (getter or setter)

You can convert an existing Hash or NSDictionary into a Anonymous using the constructor SugarCube::Anonymous[hash], or you can call to_object on a dictionary or hash.

Examples:

obj = {
  'first_name': 'Katsuyoshi',  # strings
  company: 'Ito Soft Design',  # and symbols are supported
}.to_object

obj.first_name
# => 'Katsuyoshi'
obj.company
# => 'Ito Soft Design'
obj.bla  # => raises NoMethodError
obj.bla = 'bla'  # => raises NoMethodError
