#
# OpenStruct allows the creation of data objects with arbitrary attributes.
# See OpenStruct for an example.
#
#
# An OpenStruct is a data structure, similar to a Hash, that allows the
# definition of arbitrary attributes with their accompanying values. This is
# accomplished by using Ruby's metaprogramming to define methods on the class
# itself.
#
# == Examples:
#
# require 'ostruct'
#
# person = OpenStruct.new
# person.name = "John Smith"
# person.age = 70
# person.pension = 300
#
# puts person.name # -> "John Smith"
# puts person.age # -> 70
# puts person.address # -> nil
#
# An OpenStruct employs a Hash internally to store the methods and values and
# can even be initialized with one:
#
# australia = OpenStruct.new(:country => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000)
# p australia # -> <OpenStruct country="Australia" population=20000000>
#
# Hash keys with spaces or characters that would normally not be able to use for
# method calls (e.g. ()[]*) will not be immediately available on the
# OpenStruct object as a method for retrieval or assignment, but can be still be
# reached through the Object#send method.
#
# measurements = OpenStruct.new("length (in inches)" => 24)
# measurements.send("length (in inches)") # -> 24
#
# data_point = OpenStruct.new(:queued? => true)
# data_point.queued? # -> true
# data_point.send("queued?=",false)
# data_point.queued? # -> false
#
# Removing the presence of a method requires the execution the delete_field
# method as setting the property value to +nil+ will not remove the method.
#
# first_pet = OpenStruct.new(:name => 'Rowdy', :owner => 'John Smith')
# first_pet.owner = nil
# second_pet = OpenStruct.new(:name => 'Rowdy')
#
# first_pet == second_pet # -> false
#
# first_pet.delete_field(:owner)
# first_pet == second_pet # -> true
#
#
# == Implementation:
#
# An OpenStruct utilizes Ruby's method lookup structure to find and define the
# necessary methods for properties. This is accomplished through the method
# method_missing and define_method.
#
# This should be a consideration if there is a concern about the performance of
# the objects that are created, as there is much more overhead in the setting
# of these properties compared to using a Hash or a Struct.
#
class OpenStruct
#
# Creates a new OpenStruct object. By default, the resulting OpenStruct
# object will have no attributes.
#
# The optional +hash+, if given, will generate attributes and values
# (can be a Hash, an OpenStruct or a Struct).
# For example:
#
# require 'ostruct'
# hash = { "country" => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000 }
# data = OpenStruct.new(hash)
#
# p data # -> <OpenStruct country="Australia" population=20000000>
#
def initialize(hash=nil)
@table = {}
if hash
hash.each_pair do |k, v|
k = k.to_sym
@table[k] = v
new_ostruct_member(k)
end
end
end
# Duplicate an OpenStruct object members.
def initialize_copy(orig)
super
@table = @table.dup
@table.each_key{|key| new_ostruct_member(key)}
end
#
# Converts the OpenStruct to a hash with keys representing
# each attribute (as symbols) and their corresponding values
# Example:
#
# require 'ostruct'
# data = OpenStruct.new("country" => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000)
# data.to_h # => {:country => "Australia", :population => 20000000 }
#
def to_h
@table.dup
end
#
# Yields all attributes (as a symbol) along with the corresponding values
# or returns an enumerator if not block is given.
# Example:
#
# require 'ostruct'
# data = OpenStruct.new("country" => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000)
# data.each_pair.to_a # => [[:country, "Australia"], [:population, 20000000]]
#
def each_pair
return to_enum(__method__) { @table.size } unless block_given?
@table.each_pair{|p| yield p}
