Instance Method Details

- (Object) []=(key, value) Also known as: regular_writer, store

hash = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash[:key] = "value"

Removes a specified key from the hash.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

- (Object) fetch(key, *extras)

Fetches the value for the specified key, same as doing hash

def fetch(key, *extras)
  super(convert_key(key), *extras)
end

- (Boolean) key?(key) Also known as: include?, has_key?, member?

Checks the hash for a key matching the argument passed in:

hash = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash["key"] = "value"
hash.key? :key  # => true
hash.key? "key" # => true

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

- (Object) merge(hash)

Merges the instantized and the specified hashes together, giving precedence to the values from the second hash Does not overwrite the existing hash.

# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/hash_with_indifferent_access.rb', line 107

def merge(hash)
  self.dup.update(hash)
end

- (Object) reverse_merge(other_hash)

Performs the opposite of merge, with the keys and values from the first hash taking precedence over the second. This overloaded definition prevents returning a regular hash, if reverse_merge is called on a HashWithDifferentAccess.

- (Object) update(other_hash) Also known as: regular_update, merge!

Updates the instantized hash with values from the second:

hash_1 = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash_1[:key] = "value"

hash_2 = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new
hash_2[:key] = "New Value!"

hash_1.update(hash_2) # => {"key"=>"New Value!"}
