From: shyouhei@... Date: 2016-05-18T00:23:38+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:75584] [Ruby trunk Feature#11925] Struct construction with kwargs Issue #11925 has been updated by Shyouhei Urabe. We looked at this issue in yesterday's developer meeting. Nobody there was against the functionality -- but the name. `create!` doesn't sound appropriate at all. `create` also not that obvious for non-English speakers like us that it expects keywords. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11925: Struct construction with kwargs https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11925#change-58718 * Author: Ilya Vorontsov * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- Propose to make Struct subclass constructors which accept keyword arguments. Not sure, if it's reasonable to allow `.new` accept kwargs, so may be should use different method named like `.create`: ```ruby Point = Struct.new(:x,:y, :color) pt_1 = Point.create(x: 1, y: 2) # => Point pt_2 = Point.create!(x: 1, y: 2) # => ArgumentError, color not specified. ``` It will greatly simplify work with big structures, especially in cases when struct layout changes and for cases when structure can have lots of non-significant values. It also allows simpler ways to use implement default values for struct members. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
