TenderHash
Map hashes with style.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'tender_hash'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install tender_hash
Usage
An empty set of rules will filter all keys returning an empty hash.
TenderHash.map( { name: 'Rodrigo', age: 27 } )The key method will cause the mapper to keep the specified key without
making any changes.
TenderHash.map( { name: 'Rodrigo', age: 27 } ) do
key :name
end
# => { name: 'Rodrigo' }The map_key methods allows to define mappings for the hash keys.
TenderHash.map( { name: 'Rodrigo', age: 27 } ) do
map_key :name, :first_name
end
# => { first_name: 'Rodrigo' }The key and map_key methods accept a default option. If the input hash
doesn't have the key defined or if it's value is nil, then the default value
will be set for that key on the returned hash.
TenderHash.map( { name: 'Rodrigo', age: 27 } ) do
map_key :name, :first_name, default: 'John Doe'
key :height, default: 1.90
end
# => { first_name: 'Rodrigo', height: 1.90 }The key and map_key methods also accept a cast_to option. The
possible alternatives are: :integer, :string, :boolean and any object that responds to #call.
TenderHash.map( { name: 'Rodrigo', age: 27, logged_in: 'false' } ) do
key :age, cast_to: :string
key :logged_in, cast_to: :boolean
key :name, cast_to: -> (v) { v.upcase }
end
# => { age: '27', looged_in: false, name: 'RODRIGO' }The scope method allows to nest a hash within a key.
TenderHash.map( { name: 'Rodrigo', age: 27, logged_in: 'false' } ) do
scope :personal_info do
map_key :name, :first_name
key :age
end
key :logged_in
end
# => {
# personal_info: {
# first_name: 'Rodrigo',
# age: 27
# },
# logged_in: 'false'
# }A good use case for this gem is to map the ENV hash into a more
readable and usable hash.
TenderHash.map(ENV) do
map_key 'EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS', :send_email_notifications, cast_to: :boolean, default: true
map_key 'MAPS_API_AUTH_TOKEN', :api_auth_token
scope :database do
map_key 'POSTGRES_URL', :url, default: 'localhost'
map_key 'PORT', :port, cast_to: :integer, default: 5432
end
end
# => {
# send_email_notifications: true,
# api_auth_token: 'super-secret',
# database: {
# url: 'localhost',
# port: 5432
# }
