Struct

Class Struct provides a convenient way to create a simple class that can store and fetch values.

This example creates a subclass of Struct, Struct::Customer; the first argument, a string, is the name of the subclass; the other arguments, symbols, determine the members of the new subclass.

Customer = Struct.new('Customer', :name, :address, :zip)
Customer.name       # => "Struct::Customer"
Customer.class      # => Class
Customer.superclass # => Struct

Corresponding to each member are two methods, a writer and a reader, that store and fetch values:

methods = Customer.instance_methods false
methods # => [:zip, :address=, :zip=, :address, :name, :name=]

An instance of the subclass may be created, and its members assigned values, via method ::new:

joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
joe # => #<struct Struct::Customer name="Joe Smith", address="123 Maple, Anytown NC", zip=12345>

The member values may be managed thus:

joe.name    # => "Joe Smith"
joe.name = 'Joseph Smith'
joe.name    # => "Joseph Smith"

And thus; note that member name may be expressed as either a string or a symbol:

joe[:name]  # => "Joseph Smith"
joe[:name] = 'Joseph Smith, Jr.'
joe['name'] # => "Joseph Smith, Jr."

See Struct::new.

Public Class Methods

StructClass::keyword_init? → true or falsy value click to toggle source

Returns true if the class was initialized with keyword_init: true. Otherwise returns nil or false.

Examples:

Foo = Struct.new(:a)
Foo.keyword_init? # => nil
Bar = Struct.new(:a, keyword_init: true)
Bar.keyword_init? # => true
Baz = Struct.new(:a, keyword_init: false)
Baz.keyword_init? # => false
 
               static VALUE
rb_struct_s_keyword_init_p(VALUE obj)
{
}
            
StructClass::members → array_of_symbols click to toggle source

Returns the member names of the Struct descendant as an array:

Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip)
Customer.members # => [:name, :address, :zip]
 
               static VALUE
rb_struct_s_members_m(VALUE klass)
{
    VALUE members = rb_struct_s_members(klass);

    return rb_ary_dup(members);
}
            
new(*member_names, keyword_init: false){|Struct_subclass| ... } → Struct_subclass click to toggle source
new(class_name, *member_names, keyword_init: false){|Struct_subclass| ... } → Struct_subclass
new(*member_names) → Struct_subclass_instance
new(**member_names) → Struct_subclass_instance

Struct.new returns a new subclass of Struct. The new subclass:

  • May be anonymous, or may have the name given by class_name.

  • May have members as given by member_names.

  • May have initialization via ordinary arguments (the default) or via keyword arguments (if keyword_init: true is given).

The new subclass has its own method ::new; thus:

Foo = Struct.new('Foo', :foo, :bar) # => Struct::Foo
f = Foo.new(0, 1)                   # => #<struct Struct::Foo foo=0, bar=1>

Class Name

With string argument class_name, returns a new subclass of Struct named Struct::class_name:

Foo = Struct.new('Foo', :foo, :bar) # => Struct::Foo
Foo.name                            # => "Struct::Foo"
Foo.superclass                      # => Struct

Without string argument class_name, returns a new anonymous subclass of Struct:

Struct.new(:foo, :bar).name # => nil

Block

With a block given, the created subclass is yielded to the block:

Customer = Struct.new('Customer', :name, :address) do |new_class|
  p "The new subclass is #{new_class}"
  def greeting
    "Hello #{name} at #{address}"
  end
end           # => Struct::Customer
dave = Customer.new('Dave', '123 Main')
dave # =>     #<struct Struct::Customer name="Dave", address="123 Main">
dave.greeting # => "Hello Dave at 123 Main"

Output, from Struct.new:

"The new subclass is Struct::Customer"

Member Names

Symbol arguments member_names determines the members of the new subclass:

Struct.new(:foo, :bar).members        # => [:foo, :bar]
Struct.new('Foo', :foo, :bar).members # => [:foo, :bar]

The new subclass has instance methods corresponding to member_names:

Foo = Struct.new('Foo', :foo, :bar)
Foo.instance_methods(false) # => [:foo, :bar, :foo=, :bar=]
f = Foo.new                 # => #<struct Struct::Foo foo=nil, bar=nil>
f.foo                       # => nil
f.foo = 0                   # => 0
f.bar                       # => nil
f.bar = 1                   # => 1
f                           # => #<struct Struct::Foo foo=0, bar=1>

Singleton Methods

A subclass returned by Struct.new has these singleton methods:

  • Method ::new creates an instance of the subclass:

    Foo.new          # => #<struct Struct::Foo foo=nil, bar=nil>
    Foo.new(0)       # => #<struct Struct::Foo foo=0, bar=nil>
    Foo.new(0, 1)    # => #<struct Struct::Foo foo=0, bar=1>
    Foo.new(0, 1, 2) # Raises ArgumentError: struct size differs
    

    Method ::[] is an alias for method ::new.

  • Method :inspect returns a string representation of the subclass:

    Foo.inspect
    # => "Struct::Foo"
    
  • Method ::members returns an array of the member names:

    Foo.members # => [:foo, :bar]
    

Keyword Argument

By default, the arguments for initializing an instance of the new subclass are ordinary arguments (not keyword arguments). With optional keyword argument keyword_init: true, the new subclass is initialized with keyword arguments:

# Without keyword_init: true.
Foo = Struct.new('Foo', :foo, :bar)
Foo                     # => Struct::Foo
Foo.new(0, 1)           # => #<struct Struct::Foo foo=0, bar=1>
# With keyword_init: true.
Bar = Struct.new(:foo, :bar, keyword_init: true)
Bar # =>                # => Bar(keyword_init: true)
Bar.new(bar: 1, foo: 0) # => #<struct Bar foo=0, bar=1>

select → enumerator

With a block given, returns an array of values from self for which the block returns a truthy value:

Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip)
joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
a = joe.select {|value| value.is_a?(String) }
a # => ["Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC"]
a = joe.select {|value| value.is_a?(Integer) }
a # => [12345]

With no block given, returns an Enumerator.

Struct#filter is an alias for Struct#select.

Returns the values in self as an array:

joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
joe.to_a # => ["Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345]

Struct#values and Struct#deconstruct are aliases for Struct#to_a.

to_h → hash click to toggle source
to_h {|name, value| ... } → hash

Returns a hash containing the name and value for each member:

Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip)
joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
h = joe.to_h
h # => {:name=>"Joe Smith", :address=>"123 Maple, Anytown NC", :zip=>12345}

If a block is given, it is called with each name/value pair; the block should return a 2-element array whose elements will become a key/value pair in the returned hash:

h = joe.to_h{|name, value| [name.upcase, value.to_s.upcase]}
h # => {:NAME=>"JOE SMITH", :ADDRESS=>"123 MAPLE, ANYTOWN NC", :ZIP=>"12345"}

Raises ArgumentError if the block returns an inappropriate value.

to_a → array click to toggle source

Returns the values in self as an array:

joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
joe.to_a # => ["Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345]

values_at(*integers) → array click to toggle source
values_at(integer_range) → array

Returns an array of values from self.

With integer arguments integers given, returns an array containing each value given by one of integers:

Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip)
joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
joe.values_at(0, 2)    # => ["Joe Smith", 12345]
joe.values_at(2, 0)    # => [12345, "Joe Smith"]
joe.values_at(2, 1, 0) # => [12345, "123 Maple, Anytown NC", "Joe Smith"]
joe.values_at(0, -3)   # => ["Joe Smith", "Joe Smith"]

Raises IndexError if any of integers is out of range; see Array Indexes.

With integer range argument integer_range given, returns an array containing each value given by the elements of the range; fills with nil values for range elements larger than the structure:

joe.values_at(0..2)
# => ["Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345]
joe.values_at(-3..-1)
# => ["Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345]
joe.values_at(1..4) # => ["123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345, nil, nil]

Raises RangeError if any element of the range is negative and out of range; see Array Indexes.
