Named Parameters in Ruby Structs

Question

I\'m pretty new to Ruby so apologies if this is an obvious question.

I\'d like to use named parameters when instantiating a Struct, i.e. be able to specify which ite

Answer 1

Based on @Andrew Grimm's answer, but using Ruby 2.0's keyword arguments:

class Struct

  # allow keyword arguments for Structs
  def initialize(*args, **kwargs)
    param_hash = kwargs.any? ? kwargs : Hash[ members.zip(args) ]
    param_hash.each { |k,v| self[k] = v }
  end

end

Note that this does not allow mixing of regular and keyword arguments-- you can only use one or the other.
