Destructuring Ruby objects with pattern matching

example.rb

class Thing
  attr_reader :name, :type
  
  def initialize(name, type)
    @name = name
    @type = type
  end
  
  def deconstruct_keys(_keys)
    { name:, type: }
  end
end

thing = Thing.new("foo", "bar")

thing => { name:, type: }

name # => "foo"
type # => "bar
