From: transfire@... Date: 2014-11-02T17:19:23+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:66051] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7793] New methods on Hash Issue #7793 has been updated by Thomas Sawyer. I can't help but mention it, because it gave me a chuckle.... I like `rekey` and `revalue` from #4, because they make sense semantically, don't confuse the idea of `map` returning an array, and they are *concise*. Concision is always a big plus. However `graph` and `mash` don't really convey much in their names (`mash` is combination of "map" and "hash" btw), so I've always been rather ho-hum about those, but never could come up with a better, yet still concise, alternative. Options #2 and #5 are nice for their consistency --the use of `_keys`, `_values` and `_pairs`-- But they lack for concision (especially #5) which sucks, and #2 has the map name issue as mentioned. So I tried a combination of both ideas using `re-` as the prefix to the three suffixes and got: * `rekey` * `revalue` * `repair` At which point the giggles kicked in :-) ---------------------------------------- Feature #7793: New methods on Hash https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7793#change-49772 * Author: Dominic Sisneros * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto * Category: core * Target version: next minor ---------------------------------------- It would be nice to have the following methods added to hash ~~~ruby h = { name: 'dominic', request: 'add the following methods', :why => 'convenience'} h.map_v{|v| v.upcase} #=> {:name=>"DOMINIC", :request=>"ADD THE FOLLOWING METHODS", :why=>"CONVENIENCE"} h.map_k{|k| k.to_s} #=> { "name"=> 'dominic', "request"=>"add the following methods', "why" => "convenience"} h.map_kv{|k,v| [k.to_s, v.upcase]} #=> { "name"=>"DOMINIC", "request"=>"ADD THE FOLLOWING METHODS", "why"=>"CONVENIENCE"} class Hash def map_v reduce({}) do |result, array| k,v = array new_val = yield v result.merge( k => new_val) end end def map_k reduce({}) do |result, array| k,v = array new_k = yield k result.merge(new_k => v) end end def map_kv reduce({}) do |result, array| new_k,new_v = yield array result.merge(new_k => new_v) end end end -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
