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

I created my own gem for this, and I've been using it in all my projects. Seems to do just what you need:

large_hash = { boy: 'John', girl: 'Mary' }
r = Ribbon.wrap large_hash

r.boy
 => "John"

r.girl
 => "Mary"

r.keys
 => [:boy, :girl]

r.each_pair { |key, value| puts "#{key} => #{value}" }
boy => John
girl => Mary

Would love some feedback.
