How can I get JavaScript style hash access?

Question

I am aware of this feature provided by ActiveSupport.

h = ActiveSupport::OrderedOptions.new
h.boy = \'John\'
h.girl = \'Mary\'
h.boy  # => \'John\'
h.girl # =         


        

Answer 1

You are looking for OpenStruct

$ require 'ostruct'
$ large_hash_obj = OpenStruct.new large_hash
$ large_hash_obj.boy
=> "John"
