Ruby dup/clone recursively

Question

I have a hash like:

h = {\'name\' => \'sayuj\', 
     \'age\' => 22, 
     \'project\' => {\'project_name\' => \'abc\', 
                   \'dur         


        

Answer 1

Another alternative is to use the full_dup gem (full disclosure: I am the author of that gem) that handles arrays, hashes, structs, and is extendable to user defined classes.

To use:

require 'full_dup'
# Other code omitted ...
d = h.full_dup

Also note that full_dup handles complex data relationships including those with loops or recursion.
