get_frozen

GetFrozen

Getting 'frozen' object from other objects can be handled in simple manners.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'get_frozen'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install get_frozen

Usage

Object#get_frozen

Returns

1. self when the object is already frozen or immutable
2. copied and frozen object otherwise

Note: Some immutable objects cannot be duplicated (true, false, nil, Numeric) may or may not be 'frozen' in Ruby environment. This library handles these immutables correctly, simply returns self.

Restriction

This gem is intended to be applied for value objects. There is no guarantee for using this method for state-bounded objects (file, database, thread ...).
