Subject: [ruby-core:44261] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4862][Rejected] Struct#to_hash


Issue #4862 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Assigned to Rejected

#to_hash protocol expects the object to be hash-compatible.  Struct is not the case.

Feature #4862: Struct#to_hash
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4862#change-25798

Target version: 


Occasionally, it is necessary to convert a Struct to a Hash (especially when generating JSON from an Array of Structs). A Struct#to_hash method would be very useful in this situation.

    class Struct

      #
      # Returns the Hash representation of the members and values within the struct.
      #
      def to_hash
        new_hash = {}

        each_pair do |member,value|
          new_hash[member] = value
        end

        new_hash
      end

    end
