# XKeys - Extended keys to facilitate fetching and storing in nested # hash- and array-like structures with Perl-ish auto-vivification. # # Synopsis: # root = {}.extend XKeys::Hash # root[:my, :list, :[]] = 'value 1' # root[:my, :list, :[]] = 'value 2' # root[:sparse, 10] = 'value 3' # # => { :my => { :list => [ 'value 1', 'value 2' ] }, # # :sparse => { 10 => 'value 3' } } # root[:missing] # => nil # root[:missing, :else => false] # => false # root[:missing, :raise => true] # => raises KeyError # # root = [].extend XKeys::Auto # root[1, :[]] = 'value 1' # root[1, 3] = 'value 2' # # => [ nil, [ 'value 1', nil, nil, 'value 2' ] ] # root[0, 1] # => [ nil ] (slice of length 1 at 0) # root[1, 0, {}] # => 'value 1' # root[1, 4, {}] # => nil # # As of version 2.0.0, other types with array- or hash-like behavior are # supported as well. # # As of version 2.0.0, underlying types must implement #[], #[]=, and # #fetch to be supported (see the Array or Hash class documentation). # They must also implement #push if you want to use push mode (index ":[]"). # # As of version 2.1.0, #[] is used if #fetch is not supported. Missing-key # detection (still) depends on KeyError or IndexError being raised. # # Version 2.1.0 2014-05-06 # # @author Brian Katzung , Kappa Computer Solutions, LLC # @copyright 2013-2014 Brian Katzung and Kappa Computer Solutions, LLC # @license MIT License module XKeys; end # Extended fetch and get ([]) module XKeys::Get # Perform an extended fetch using successive keys to traverse a tree # of nested hash- and/or array-like objects. # # xfetch(key1, ..., keyN [, option_hash]) # # Options: # # :else => default value # The default value to return if any of the keys do not exist # (when an underlying #fetch generates a KeyError or IndexError). # The :raise option takes precedence. # # :raise => true # Re-raise the original KeyError or IndexError if any of the keys # do not exist.
