Secure Your AI-Generated Code with Socket MCP
Socket MCP brings real-time security checks to AI-generated code, helping developers catch risky dependencies before they enter the codebase.
It enables recursive conversion of a ruby Hash
to a Struct-like object and back.
Stop thinking about symbols vs strings when accessing values in your hash. Simply call a method.
It is built on top of standard Struct
and OpenStruct
classes with all their features preserved while adding a few on top for conveniences like handling nested hashes/arrays, unified constructor interface, immutability.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'hash_to_struct'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install hash_to_struct
Struct
based conversion:
struct = HashToStruct.struct({q: 1})
struct.q # => 1
struct[:x] # => NameError: no member 'x' in struct
OpenStruct
based conversion:
ostruct = HashToStruct.ostruct({q: 1})
ostruct.q # => 1
ostruct[:x] = 5
ostruct.x # => 5
Convert back to Hash
:
ostruct.to_h # => { :q => 1, :x => 5 }
Recursive conversion:
struct = HashToStruct.struct({q: 1, w: { e: 2 }})
struct.q.w.e # => 2
Note! It will only convert objects of type Hash, not Hash derivatives or some acting like a Hash.
Recursive conversions inside Array
:
struct = HashToStruct.struct({q: 1, w: [{ e: 2 }]}, including_arrays: true)
struct.q.w.first.e # => 2
Note! It will only iterate over objects of type Array, not Array derivatives or other enumerables.
Make immutable:
struct = HashToStruct.struct({q: 1}, immutable: true)
struct.q = 2 # => FrozenError: can't modify frozen #<struct q=1>
