FieldStruct provides a lightweight approach to having Ruby classes with metadata available about the attributes it holds..
The most basic usage is for a simple ruby class:
class BasicFriend < FieldedStruct::Basic
attribute :name
attribute :age
end
# Minimal
john = BasicFriend.new name: "John"
# => #<BasicFriend name="John">
john.name = "Steven"
# => #<BasicFriend name="Steven">
john.age = 35
# => #<BasicFriend name="Steven" age=35>Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'fielded_struct'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install fielded_struct
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
