# Scoped hash library It provides scoped view to a hash (mash) data structure. When the requested scope does not exist, it would fall back to the non-scope key. require 'scoped_hash' smash = ScopedHash.new( 'tax': { min: 20, max: 40}, 'tax(democratic)': { min: 30, max: 50}, 'tax(republican)': { min: 10, max: 30}) smash.scope('democratic')[:tax][:min] == 30 smash.scope('republican')[:tax][:min] == 10 smash.scope('green')[:tax][:min] == 20 ## Installation Simply use gem to install this library: gem install scoped_hash
