AccessibleHash

Adds ability to access hash elements with custom method calls.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'accessible_hash'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install accessible_hash

Usage

Ruby 1.9.3

Call the make_accessible method either on the Hash class:

Hash.make_accessible

or on a hash object

a = {}
a.make_accessible

to gain access to data members by methods who's names correspond to the keys. For example:

a.foo = "bar"

is equivalent to

a[:foo] = "bar"

Similarly,

a.foo

is equivalent to

a[:foo]

Using the class level method adds this functionality to all Hashes, whereas using the instance method adds the functionality only to the hash it is called on.

Ruby 2.0

If you are using Ruby 2, simply call

using AccessibleHash

This will give you the same getter/setter functionality as above for all code following the using call until the end of that file.
