<p>This library is similar in purpose to the HashWithIndifferentAccess that is famously used in Rails, but does a lot more.</p>

<p>This gem is used by <code>oauth</code> and <code>oauth2</code> gems to normalize hash keys to <code>snake_case</code> and lookups,<br>
and provide a nice psuedo-object interface.</p>

<p>It can be thought of as a mashup of:</p>

<ul>
  <li>
<code>Rash</code> (specifically the <a href="https://github.com/shishi/rash_alt"><code>rash_alt</code></a> flavor), which is a special <code>Mash</code>, made popular by the <code>hashie</code> gem, and</li>
  <li>
<code>serialized_hashie</code> <a href="https://github.com/krystal/serialized-hashie">gem by krystal</a>, rewritten, with some behavior changes</li>
</ul>

<p>Classes that <code>include SnakyHash::Snake.new</code> should inherit from <code>Hashie::Mash</code>.</p>

<h2 id="new-for-v202-serialization-support">New for v2.0.2: Serialization Support</h2>

<p>The serialization support is set to <code>false</code> by default, for backwards compatibility, but may be switched to <code>true</code> in the next major release, which will be v3. Example:</p>

<pre class="code language-ruby"><code class="language-ruby"># This class has `dump` and `load` abilities!
class MyStringKeyedHash &lt; Hashie::Mash
  include SnakyHash::Snake.new(
    key_type: :string,
    serializer: true,
  )
end
</code></pre>

<p>✨ Also new dump &amp; load plugin extensions to control the way your data is dumped and loaded.</p>

<h3 id="note-for-use-with-oauth2-gem">Note for use with oauth2 gem</h3>

<p>The serializer is being introduced as a disabled option for backwards compatibility.<br>
In snaky_hash v3 it will default to <code>true</code>.<br>
If you want to start using the serializer immediately, reopen the <code>SnakyHash::StringKeyed</code> class and add the <code>SnakyHash::Serializer</code> module like this:</p>

<pre class="code language-ruby"><code class="language-ruby">SnakyHash::StringKeyed.class_eval do
  extend SnakyHash::Serializer
end
</code></pre>

<p>or you can create a custom class</p>

<pre class="code language-ruby"><code class="language-ruby">class MyHash &lt; Hashie::Mash
  include SnakyHash::Snake.new(key_type: :string, serializer: true)
  # Which is the same as:
  # include SnakyHash::Snake.new(key_type: :string)
  # extend SnakyHash::Serializer
end
</code></pre>

<p>You can then add serialization extensions as needed.  See <a href="#serialization">serialization</a> and <a href="#extensions">extensions</a> for more.</p>

<h2 id="upgrading-runtime-gem-dependencies">Upgrading Runtime Gem Dependencies</h2>

<p>Due to oauth and oauth2 gems depending on this gem,<br>
 this project sits underneath a large portion of the authorization systems on the internet.</p>

<p>That means it is painful for the Ruby community when this gem forces updates to its runtime dependencies.</p>

<p>As a result, great care, and a lot of time, have been invested to ensure this gem is working with all the<br>
leading versions per each minor version of Ruby of all the runtime dependencies it can install with.</p>

<p>What does that mean specifically for the runtime dependencies?</p>

<p>We have 100% test coverage of lines and branches, and this test suite runs across a large matrix<br>
covering the latest patch for each of the following minor versions:</p>

<ul>
  <li>MRI Ruby @ v2.3, v2.4, v2.5, v2.6, v2.7, v3.0, v3.1, v3.2, v3.3, v3.4, HEAD
    <ul>
      <li>NOTE: This gem will still install on ruby v2.2, but vanilla GitHub Actions no longer supports testing against it, so YMMV.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>JRuby @ v9.2, v9.3, v9.4, v10.0, HEAD</li>
  <li>TruffleRuby @ v23.1, v23.2, HEAD</li>
  <li>gem <code>hashie</code> @ v0, v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, HEAD ⏩️ <a href="https://github.com/hashie/hashie">hashie/hashie</a>
</li>
  <li>gem <code>version_gem</code> - @v1, HEAD ⏩️ <a href="https://gitlab.com/oauth-xx/version_gem">oauth-xx/version_gem</a>
</li>
</ul>

<p>NOTE: <code>version_gem</code>, and this library, were both extracted from the ouaht2 gem. They are part of the <code>oauth-xx</code> org,<br>
and are developed in tight collaboration with the oauth and oauth2 gems.</p>

<h3 id="you-should-upgrade-this-gem-with-confidence">You should upgrade this gem with confidence*.</h3>

<ul>
  <li>This gem follows a <em>strict &amp; correct</em> (according to the maintainer of SemVer; <a href="#-is-platform-support-part-of-the-public-api">more info</a>) interpretation of SemVer.
    <ul>
      <li>Dropping support for <strong>any</strong> of the runtime dependency versions above will be a major version bump.</li>
      <li>If you aren’t on one of the minor versions above, make getting there a priority.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>You should upgrade the dependencies of this gem with confidence*.</li>
  <li>Please do upgrade, and then, when it goes smooth as butter <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/pboling">please sponsor me</a>.  Thanks!</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="-installation">✨ Installation</h2>

<p>Install the gem and add to the application’s Gemfile by executing:</p>

<pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby">$ bundle add snaky_hash
</code></pre>

<p>If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:</p>

<pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby">$ gem install snaky_hash
</code></pre>

<h3 id="-secure-installation">🔒 Secure Installation</h3>

<p><code>snaky_hash</code> is cryptographically signed, and has verifiable <a href="https://gitlab.com/oauth-xx/snaky_hash/-/tree/main/checksums">SHA-256 and SHA-512</a> checksums by<br>
<a href="https://github.com/pboling/stone_checksums">stone_checksums</a>. Be sure the gem you install hasn’t been tampered with<br>
by following the instructions below.</p>

<p>Add my public key (if you haven’t already, expires 2045-04-29) as a trusted certificate:</p>

<pre class="code language-shell"><code class="language-shell">gem cert --add &lt;(curl -Ls https://raw.github.com/oauth-xx/snaky_hash/main/certs/pboling.pem)
</code></pre>

<p>You only need to do that once.  Then proceed to install with:</p>

<pre class="code language-shell"><code class="language-shell">gem install snaky_hash -P MediumSecurity
</code></pre>

<p>The <code>MediumSecurity</code> trust profile will verify signed gems, but allow the installation of unsigned dependencies.</p>

<p>This is necessary because not all of <code>snaky_hash</code>’s dependencies are signed, so we cannot use <code>HighSecurity</code>.</p>

<p>If you want to up your security game full-time:</p>

<pre class="code language-shell"><code class="language-shell">bundle config set --global trust-policy MediumSecurity
</code></pre>

<p>NOTE: Be prepared to track down certs for signed gems and add them the same way you added mine.</p>

<h2 id="-basic-usage">🔧 Basic Usage</h2>

<pre class="code language-ruby"><code class="language-ruby">class MySnakedHash &lt; Hashie::Mash
  include SnakyHash::Snake.new(key_type: :string) # or :symbol
end

snake = MySnakedHash.new(:a =&gt; &quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot; =&gt; &quot;b&quot;, 2 =&gt; 2, &quot;VeryFineHat&quot; =&gt; &quot;Feathers&quot;)
snake.a # =&gt; &#39;a&#39;
snake.b # =&gt; &#39;b&#39;
snake[2] # =&gt; 2
snake[&quot;2&quot;] # =&gt; nil, note that this gem only affects string / symbol keys.
snake.very_fine_hat # =&gt; &#39;Feathers&#39;
snake[:very_fine_hat] # =&gt; &#39;Feathers&#39;
snake[&quot;very_fine_hat&quot;] # =&gt; &#39;Feathers&#39;
</code></pre>

<p>Note above that you can access the values via the string, or symbol.<br>
The <code>key_type</code> determines how the key is actually stored, but the hash acts as “indifferent”.<br>
Note also that keys which do not respond to <code>to_sym</code>, because they don’t have a natural conversion to a Symbol,<br>
are left as-is.</p>

<h3 id="serialization">Serialization</h3>

<pre class="code language-ruby"><code class="language-ruby">class MySerializedSnakedHash &lt; Hashie::Mash
  include SnakyHash::Snake.new(
    key_type: :symbol, # default :string
    serializer: true,   # default: false
  )
end

snake = MySerializedSnakedHash.new(:a =&gt; &quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot; =&gt; &quot;b&quot;, 2 =&gt; 2, &quot;VeryFineHat&quot; =&gt; &quot;Feathers&quot;) # =&gt; {a: &quot;a&quot;, b: &quot;b&quot;, 2 =&gt; 2, very_fine_hat: &quot;Feathers&quot;}
dump = MySerializedSnakedHash.dump(snake) # =&gt; &quot;{\&quot;a\&quot;:\&quot;a\&quot;,\&quot;b\&quot;:\&quot;b\&quot;,\&quot;2\&quot;:2,\&quot;very_fine_hat\&quot;:\&quot;Feathers\&quot;}&quot;
hydrated = MySerializedSnakedHash.load(dump) # =&gt; {a: &quot;a&quot;, b: &quot;b&quot;, &quot;2&quot;: 2, very_fine_hat: &quot;Feathers&quot;}
hydrated.class # =&gt; MySerializedSnakedHash
hydrated.a # =&gt; &#39;a&#39;
hydrated.b # =&gt; &#39;b&#39;
hydrated[2] # =&gt; nil # NOTE: this is the opposite of snake[2] =&gt; 2
hydrated[&quot;2&quot;] # =&gt; 2 # NOTE: this is the opposite of snake[&quot;2&quot;] =&gt; nil
hydrated.very_fine_hat # =&gt; &#39;Feathers&#39;
hydrated[:very_fine_hat] # =&gt; &#39;Feathers&#39;
hydrated[&quot;very_fine_hat&quot;] # =&gt; &#39;Feathers&#39;
</code></pre>

<p>Note that the key <code>VeryFineHat</code> changed to <code>very_fine_hat</code>.<br>
That is indeed the point of this library, so not a bug.</p>

<p>Note that the key <code>2</code> changed to <code>"2"</code> (because JSON keys are strings).<br>
When the JSON dump was reloaded it did not know to restore it as <code>2</code> instead of <code>"2"</code>.<br>
This is also not a bug, though if you need different behavior, there is a solution in the <a href="#extensions">next section</a>.</p>

<h3 id="extensions">Extensions</h3>

<p>You can write your own arbitrary extensions:</p>

<ul>
  <li>“Hash Load” extensions operate on the hash and nested hashes
    <ul>
      <li>use <code>::load_hash_extensions.add(:extension_name) { |hash| }</code>
</li>
      <li>since v2.0.2, bugs fixed in v2.0.3</li>
    </ul>
  </li>

<h4 id="example">Example</h4>

<p>Let’s say I want to really smash up my hash and make it more food-like.</p>

<pre class="code language-ruby"><code class="language-ruby">class MyExtSnakedHash &lt; Hashie::Mash
  include SnakyHash::Snake.new(
    key_type: :symbol, # default :string
    serializer: true,  # default: false
  )
end

# We could swap all values with indexed apples (obliteraating nested data!)
MyExtSnakedHash.dump_hash_extensions.add(:to_apple) do |value|
  num = 0
  value.transform_values do |_key|
    key = &quot;apple-#{num}&quot;
    num += 1
    key
  end
end

# And then when loading the dump we could convert the yum to pear
MyExtSnakedHash.load_hash_extensions.add(:apple_to_pear) do |value|
  value.transform_keys do |key|
    key.to_s.sub(&quot;yum&quot;, &quot;pear&quot;)
  end
end

# We could swap all index numbers &quot;beet-&lt;number&gt;&quot;
MyExtSnakedHash.dump_value_extensions.add(:to_beet) do |value|
  value.to_s.sub(/(\d+)/) { |match| &quot;beet-#{match[0]}&quot; }
end

# And then when loading the dump we could convert beet to corn
MyExtSnakedHash.load_value_extensions.add(:beet_to_corn) do |value|
  value.to_s.sub(&quot;beet&quot;, &quot;corn&quot;)
end

snake = MyExtSnakedHash.new({&quot;YumBread&quot; =&gt; &quot;b&quot;, &quot;YumCake&quot; =&gt; {&quot;b&quot; =&gt; &quot;b&quot;}, &quot;YumBoba&quot; =&gt; [1, 2, 3]})
snake # =&gt; {yum_bread: &quot;b&quot;, yum_cake: {b: &quot;b&quot;}, yum_boba: [1, 2, 3]}
snake.yum_bread # =&gt; &quot;b&quot;
snake.yum_cake # =&gt; {b: &quot;b&quot;}
snake.yum_boba # =&gt; [1, 2, 3]
dump = snake.dump
dump # =&gt; &quot;{\&quot;yum_bread\&quot;:\&quot;apple-beet-0\&quot;,\&quot;yum_cake\&quot;:\&quot;apple-beet-1\&quot;,\&quot;yum_boba\&quot;:\&quot;apple-beet-2\&quot;}&quot;
hydrated = MyExtSnakedHash.load(dump)
hydrated # =&gt; {pear_bread: &quot;apple-corn-0&quot;, pear_cake: &quot;apple-corn-1&quot;, pear_boba: &quot;apple-corn-2&quot;}

<p>I don’t recommend using these features… but they exist (for now).</p>

You can still access the original un-snaked camel keys.
And through them you can even use un-snaked camel methods.
But don't.

```ruby
snake = SnakyHash::StringKeyed["VeryFineHat" =&gt; "Feathers"]
snake.key?("VeryFineHat") # =&gt; true
snake["VeryFineHat"] # =&gt; 'Feathers'
snake.VeryFineHat # =&gt; 'Feathers', PLEASE don't do this!!!
snake["VeryFineHat"] = "pop" # Please don't do this... you'll get a warning, and it works (for now), but no guarantees.
# WARN -- : You are setting a key that conflicts with a built-in method MySnakedHash#VeryFineHat defined in MySnakedHash. This can cause unexpected behavior when accessing the key as a property. You can still access the key via the #[] method.
# =&gt; "pop"
```

Since you are reading this, here's what to do instead.

```ruby
snake.very_fine_hat = "pop" # =&gt; 'pop', do this instead!!!
snake.very_fine_hat # =&gt; 'pop'
snake[:very_fine_hat] = "moose" # =&gt; 'moose', or do this instead!!!
snake.very_fine_hat # =&gt; 'moose'
snake["very_fine_hat"] = "cheese" # =&gt; 'cheese', or do this instead!!!
snake.very_fine_hat # =&gt; 'cheese'
```

<h2 id="-versioning">📌 Versioning</h2>

<p>This Library adheres to <a href="https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/semver-2.0.0-259D6C.svg?style=flat" alt="Semantic Versioning 2.0.0"></a>.<br>
Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs.<br>
Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility,<br>
a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility.<br>
Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions.</p>

<h3 id="-is-platform-support-part-of-the-public-api">📌 Is “Platform Support” part of the public API?</h3>

<p>Yes.  But I’m obligated to include notes…</p>

<p>SemVer should, but doesn’t explicitly, say that dropping support for specific Platforms<br>
is a <em>breaking change</em> to an API.<br>
It is obvious to many, but not all, and since the spec is silent, the bike shedding is endless.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>dropping support for a platform is both obviously and objectively a breaking change</p>
</blockquote>

<ul>
  <li>Jordan Harband (@ljharb, maintainer of SemVer) <a href="https://github.com/semver/semver/issues/716#issuecomment-869336139">in SemVer issue 716</a>
</li>
</ul>

<p>To get a better understanding of how SemVer is intended to work over a project’s lifetime,<br>
read this article from the creator of SemVer:</p>

<ul>
  <li><a href="https://tom.preston-werner.com/2022/05/23/major-version-numbers-are-not-sacred.html">“Major Version Numbers are Not Sacred”</a></li>
</ul>

<p>As a result of this policy, and the interpretive lens used by the maintainer,<br>
you can (and should) specify a dependency on these libraries using<br>
the <a href="http://guides.rubygems.org/patterns/#pessimistic-version-constraint">Pessimistic Version Constraint</a> with two digits of precision.</p>

<p>For example:</p>
