DryStructParser

Generate a readable hash from a dry-struct for easier manipulation

The gem is still work in progress and is not yet fully tested.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dry_struct_parser'

And then execute:

bundle install

Usage

Parsing a Dry::Struct

Lets say we have the following Dry::Struct definition:

class DTO1 < Dry::Struct
    attribute :dto1_field, Types::String
end

class DTO2 < Dry::Struct
    attribute :dto2_field, Types::String
end

class DTO < Dry::Struct
    attribute :dynamic_dto, DTO1 | DTO2
end
parser = DryStructParser::StructSchemaParser.new

parser.call(DTO)
=> {
     "dynamic_dto": [ # ARRAY
       {
         "type": "hash",
         "required": true,
         "nullable": false,
         "keys": {
           "dto1_field": {
             "type": "string",
             "required": true,
             "nullable": false
           }
         }
       },
       {
         "type": "hash",
         "required": true,
         "nullable": false,
         "keys": {
           "dto2_field": {
             "type": "string",
             "required": true,
             "nullable": false
           }
         }
       }
     ]
   }

The required key depends on whether we define the field as attribute or attribute?

For more complex types, for example DTO1 | DTO2 or Types::Array.of(DTO1 | DTO2), the parser converts the field value to an array of both schemas.

Overriding fields

You can also modify the fields by passing a block after the .call() method.

DryStructParser::StructSchemaParser.new.call(DTO) do |it|
  # types = string/integer/hash/array
  
  # Remove a field
  its.keys = it.keys.except(:field_name) 
  
  # Add new field on root level
  it.keys[:new_field_name] = { type: type, required: true/false, nullable: true/false } 
  
  # Add a new field in nested hash/array
  it.keys[:nested_field][:keys][:new_field_name] = { 
    type: type, required: true/false, nullable: true/false
  }
  
  # Remove a field in nested hash/array
  it.keys = it.keys[:nested_field][:keys].except(:field_name)
  
  # Add an array or hash
  it.keys[:nested_field] = { 
    type: "array/hash", required: true/false, nullable:  true/false, keys: {
      # List all nested fields
      new_field: { type: :type, required: true/false, nullable: true/false }
    }
  }
  
  # Add an Array of primitive types, type field needs to be the element type(string, integer, float), 
  and add an array: true flag
  
  it.keys[:array_field_name] = { 
    type: type, array: true, required: true/false, nullable:  true/false 
  }
  
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
