Class Method Details

+ (SymbolHash) [](hash) + (SymbolHash) [](*list)

Overloads:

  • + (SymbolHash) [](hash)

    Creates a SymbolHash object from an existing Hash

    Examples:

    SymbolHash['x' => 1, :y => 2] # => #<SymbolHash:0x...>

    Parameters:

    • hash (Hash) —

      the hash object

    Returns:

    • (SymbolHash) —

      a new SymbolHash from a hash object

  • + (SymbolHash) [](*list)

    Creates a SymbolHash from an even list of keys and values

    Examples:

    SymbolHash[key1, value1, key2, value2, ...]

    Parameters:

    • list (Array) —

      an even list of key followed by value

Instance Method Details

- (Object) [](key)

Accessed a symbolized key

Parameters:

  • key (#to_sym) —

    the key to access

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    the value associated with the key

def [](key) super(key.to_sym) end

- (Object) []=(key, value)

Assigns a value to a symbolized key

Parameters:

  • key (#to_sym) —

    the key

  • value (Object) —

    the value to be assigned. If this is a String and values are set to be symbolized, it will be converted into a Symbol.

end

- (void) delete(key)

This method returns an undefined value.

Deleted a key and value associated with it

Parameters:

  • key (#to_sym) —

    the key to delete

def delete(key) super(key.to_sym) end

- (Boolean) has_key?(key)

Tests if a symbolized key exists

Parameters:

  • key (#to_sym) —

    the key to test

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    whether the key exists

- (SymbolHash) merge(hash)

Merges the contents of another hash into a new SymbolHash object

Parameters:

  • hash (Hash) —

    the hash of objects to copy

Returns:

  • (SymbolHash) —

    a new SymbolHash containing the merged data

def merge(hash) dup.merge!(hash) end

- (SymbolHash) update(hash) Also known as: merge!
