superhash!

Superhash adds OpenStruct-like features to your hashes, but the magic goes as deep as you like:

@person = {
	:name => 'James',
	:age => 28,
	:male => true,
	:friends => {
		:chuck => {
			:age => 29,
			:location => 'USA'
		},
		:john_paul => {
			:age => 25,
			:location => 'France'
		}
	}
}

@person.name # => 'James'
@person.age  # => 28
@person.friends.chuck.age # => 29
@person.friends.john_paul.location # => 'France'

# You also get questioning methods:
@person.male? # => true

You get the idea :)

Installation

gem install superhash --source=http://gemcutter.org/

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Keep it simple!
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
