Rash is a Hash whose keys can be Regexps, or Ranges, which will match many input keys.
A good use case for this class is routing URLs in a web framework. The Rash’s keys match URL patterns, and the values specify actions which can handle the URL. When the Rash’s value is proc, the proc will be automatically called with the regexp’s matched groups as block arguments.
Usage example:
greeting = Hashie::Rash.new( /^Mr./ => "Hello sir!", /^Mrs./ => "Evening, madame." ) greeting["Mr. Steve Austin"] #=> "Hello sir!" greeting["Mrs. Steve Austin"] #=> "Evening, madame."
Note: The Rash is automatically optimized every 500 accesses
(Regexps get sorted by how often they get matched). If this is too low or too high, you can tune it by setting: `rash.optimize_every = n`
Return the first thing that matches the key.
# File lib/hashie/rash.rb, line 59 def [](key) all(key).first end
# File lib/hashie/rash.rb, line 45 def []=(key, value) case key when Regexp # key = normalize_regex(key) # this used to just do: /#{regexp}/ @regexes << key when Range @ranges << key end @hash[key] = value end
Return everything that matches the query.
# File lib/hashie/rash.rb, line 66 def all(query) return to_enum(:all, query) unless block_given? if @hash.include? query yield @hash[query] return end case query when String optimize_if_necessary! # see if any of the regexps match the string @regexes.each do |regex| match = regex.match(query) next unless match @regex_counts[regex] += 1 value = @hash[regex] if value.respond_to? :call yield value.call(match) else yield value end end when Numeric # see if any of the ranges match the integer @ranges.each do |range| yield @hash[range] if range.cover? query end when Regexp # Reverse operation: `rash[/regexp/]` returns all the hash's string keys which match the regexp @hash.each do |key, val| yield val if key.is_a?(String) && query =~ key end end end
