[ruby-core:66055] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7793] New methods on Hash

Issue #7793 has been updated by Andrew M.


"repair"? Hehe, yeah that's kind of an unfortunate coincidence.

The thing I really like about Option 4's `graph` and `mash` is that they are methods on `Enumerable`, which means they can be used with any Enumerable object, not just hashes. As I mentioned, the creation of a method like that is being discussed in #6669. Right now, a similar effect can be achieved (for the non-destructive method anyway) by chaining `map` and `to_h`, so perhaps the full hash transform methods don't provide as big of a benefit over what we have now as `rekey` and `revalue` do.

If we do decide to base our names off of the assumption that the full hash transform methods will be on Enumerable, and not Hash, then perhaps something like this might work:

* `Enumerable#associate`
* `Hash#associate!`

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
