Ruby Deep Freeze for Hash and Array classes
# Adds deep_freeze! method to Hash
Hash.class_eval do
def deep_freeze!
each_value{|val| val.deep_freeze! if val.respond_to?(:deep_freeze!) }
freeze
end
end
# Adds deep_freeze! method to Array
Array.class_eval do
def deep_freeze!
each{|val| val.deep_freeze! if val.respond_to?(:deep_freeze!) }
freeze
end
end
#We don't want to accidentally freeze global objects like Classes, so only white-listing
[String, Range, ActiveRecord::Base, Set].each do |cls|
cls.send(:alias_method, :deep_freeze!, :freeze)
end
