This seemed like something that would exist naturally in the DSL of ruby, but I could only find dig() method which only retrieves values if they exist. 24 hours later I wrote a update_deep_hash method (I wouldn't wish this type of recursive coding on anyone else within the Ruby community). Attached is the solution I hacked together. My question is if we can have a Hash.dig() method which reaches into a deep hash can we expand on this to include update methods of similar nature? ---Files-------------------------------- update_deep_hash.rb (2.26 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
