Public Instance Methods
Recursive version of Hash#merge
Compared with Hash#merge!, this method supports nested hashes. When both hsh
and other_hash
contains an entry with the same key, it merges and returns the values from both arrays.
Compared with Hash#merge, this method provides a different approch for merging nasted hashes. If the value of a given key is an Hash
and both other_hash
abd +hsh includes the same key, the value is merged instead replaced with other_hash
value.
h1 = {"a" => 100, "b" => 200, "c" => {"c1" => 12, "c2" => 14}} h2 = {"b" => 254, "c" => 300, "c" => {"c1" => 16, "c3" => 94}} h1.rmerge(h2) #=> {"a" => 100, "b" => 254, "c" => {"c1" => 16, "c2" => 14, "c3" => 94}}
Simply using Hash#merge would return
h1.merge(h2) #=> {"a" => 100, "b" = >254, "c" => {"c1" => 16, "c3" => 94}}
# File lib/tr8n_core/ext/hash.rb, line 92 def rmerge(other_hash) r = {} merge(other_hash) do |key, oldval, newval| r[key] = oldval.class == self.class ? oldval.rmerge(newval) : newval end end
Recursive version of Hash#merge!
Adds the contents of other_hash
to hsh
, merging entries in hsh
with duplicate keys with those from other_hash
.
Compared with Hash#merge!, this method supports nested hashes. When both hsh
and other_hash
