From: bettisworth@... Date: 2017-02-03T05:05:30+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:79403] [Ruby trunk Feature#13179] Deep Hash Update Method Issue #13179 has been updated by Andy Bettisworth. Any method name four or less characters long is a big win. Using bury would be much nicer than my current update_deep_hash calls. I wasn't aware of dig in the other classes. I may be overlooking something but why not just use the class dig is used on as a container? Another way would be to allow setting the default container via an optional argument like when setting default values for a Hash, Array, and so on. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13179: Deep Hash Update Method https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13179#change-62835 * Author: Andy Bettisworth * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- I came across a scenario where I needed the ability to update a deeply nested hash (Rails i18n yaml files). 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:
