Ruby convert Object to Hash
Just say (current object) .attributes
.attributes returns a hash of any object. And it's much cleaner too.
class Gift def initialize @name = "book" @price = 15.95 endendgift = Gift.newhash = {}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.newhash = 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}
Gift.new.instance_values # => {"name"=>"book", "price"=>15.95}
