Ruby convert Object to Hash

问题:

Let's say I have a Gift object with @name = "book" & @price = 15.95. What's the best way to convert that to the Hash {name: "book", price: 15.95} in Ruby, not Rails (although feel free to give the Rails answer too)?

回答1:

class Gift
  def initialize
    @name = "book"
    @price = 15.95
  end
end

gift = Gift.new
hash = {}
gift.instance_variables.each {|var| hash[var.to_s.delete("@")] = gift.instance_variable_get(var) }
p hash # => {"name"=>"book", "price"=>15.95}

Alternatively with each_with_object:

gift = Gift.new
hash = gift.instance_variables.each_with_object({}) { |var, hash| hash[var.to_s.delete("@")] = gift.instance_variable_get(var) }
p hash # => {"name"=>"book", "price"=>15.95}

回答2:

Just say (current object) .attributes

.attributes returns a hash of any object. And it's much cleaner too.

回答3:

Implement #to_hash?

class Gift
  def to_hash
    hash = {}
    instance_variables.each {|var| hash[var.to_s.delete("@")] = instance_variable_get(var) }
    hash
  end
end


h = Gift.new("Book", 19).to_hash

回答4:

Gift.new.instance_values # => {"name"=>"book", "price"=>15.95}

For Active Record Objects

module  ActiveRecordExtension
  def to_hash
    hash = {}; self.attributes.each { |k,v| hash[k] = v }
    return hash
  end
end

class Gift < ActiveRecord::Base
  include ActiveRecordExtension
  ....
end

class Purchase < ActiveRecord::Base
  include ActiveRecordExtension
  ....
end

and then just call

gift.to_hash()
purch.to_hash() 

回答6:

class Gift
  def to_hash
    instance_variables.map do |var|
      [var[1..-1].to_sym, instance_variable_get(var)]
    end.to_h
  end
end

If you are not in an Rails environment (ie. don't have ActiveRecord available), this may be helpful:

JSON.parse( object.to_json )

回答8:

You can use as_json method. It'll convert your object into hash.

But, that hash will come as a value to the name of that object as a key. In your case,

{'gift' => {'name' => 'book', 'price' => 15.95 }}

If you need a hash that's stored in the object use as_json(root: false). I think by default root will be false. For more info refer official ruby guide

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Serializers/JSON.html#method-i-as_json

回答9:

You can write a very elegant solution using a functional style.

class Object
  def hashify
    Hash[instance_variables.map { |v| [v.to_s[1..-1].to_sym, instance_variable_get v] }]
  end
end

回答10:

You should override the inspect method of your object to return the desired hash, or just implement a similar method without overriding the default object behaviour.

If you want to get fancier, you can iterate over an object's instance variables with object.instance_variables

回答11:

Recursively convert your objects to hash using 'hashable' gem (https://rubygems.org/gems/hashable) Example

class A
  include Hashable
  attr_accessor :blist
  def initialize
    @blist = [ B.new(1), { 'b' => B.new(2) } ]
  end
end

class B
  include Hashable
  attr_accessor :id
  def initialize(id); @id = id; end
end

a = A.new
a.to_dh # or a.to_deep_hash
# {:blist=>[{:id=>1}, {"b"=>{:id=>2}}]}

回答12:

Might want to try instance_values. That worked for me.

回答13:

Produces a shallow copy as a hash object of just the model attributes

my_hash_gift = gift.attributes.dup

Check the type of the resulting object

my_hash_gift.class
=> Hash

回答14:

You should try Hashie, a wonderful gem : https://github.com/intridea/hashie

回答15:

If you need nested objects to be converted as well.

# @fn       to_hash obj {{{
# @brief    Convert object to hash
#
# @return   [Hash] Hash representing converted object
#
def to_hash obj
  Hash[obj.instance_variables.map { |key|
    variable = obj.instance_variable_get key
    [key.to_s[1..-1].to_sym,
      if variable.respond_to? <:some_method> then
        hashify variable
      else
        variable
      end
    ]
  }]
end # }}}
