Subject: [ruby-core:55352] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8499] Importing Hash#slice, Hash#slice!, Hash#except, and Hash#except! from ActiveSupport


Issue #8499 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


I meant Hash#select and Hash#reject by "the existing methods".

i.e.:

    hash = other_hash.select(:key1, :key2, :key3)
    hash = other_hash.reject(:key1, :key2, :key3)

But Hash#slice and Hash#except seems fine.

Feature #8499: Importing Hash#slice, Hash#slice!, Hash#except, and Hash#except! from ActiveSupport

According to my experiences, the following two idioms often appeare in application codes.

(1) (({hash = other_hash.select { |k, | [:key1, :key2, :key3].include? k }}))
(2) (({hash = other_hash.reject { |k, | [:key1, :key2, :key3].include? k }}))

On Rails, they can be written in the following forms by using ActiveSupport's features.

(1) (({hash = other_hash.slice(:key1, :key2, :key3)}))
(2) (({hash = other_hash.except(:key1, :key2, :key3)}))

I think the latter forms are shorter and more readable than the former ones.

So I propose to import the following methods from ActiveSupport:

* (({Hash#slice}))
* (({Hash#slice!}))
* (({Hash#except}))
* (({Hash#except!}))
