HashAtPath

Build Status

Provides a simple xpath-like syntax for retrieving values from a hash.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hash_at_path'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hash_at_path

Usage

Paths are delimited with forward slashes and predicates are enclosed by brackets:

Predicate Meaning
[first()] select the first item from an array
[last()] select the last item from an array
[0] select an array item at a given index
[*] all items (path selections that follow this declaration will be applied to each element)
> {'foo' => ['bar', 'baz']}.at_path('/')
{'foo' => ['bar', 'baz']}
> {'foo' => {'bar' => [{'baz' => 'bam'}, {'baz' => 'jam'}, {'baz' => ['ham']}]}}.at_path('foo/bar[*]/baz')
["bam", "jam", ["ham"]]
> {'foo' => ['bar', 'baz']}.at_path('foo[1]')
'baz'
> {'foo' => ['bar', 'baz', 'barn']}.at_path('foo[-1]')
'barn'
> {'foo' => ['bar', 'baz']}.at_path('foo[last()]')
'baz'
> {'foo' => ['bar', 'baz']}.at_path('foo[first()]')
'bar'
> {'foo' => ['bar', 'baz']}.at_path('WAT')
nil

Development
