Hello, Ripple users. One thing nice about OpenStruct in Ruby - you can use the same class for many "types" of instances. I desire the same for Ripple - something like OpenStruct, with ability to subclass and specialize, then "embed inline", i.e. to nest.
To illustrate, something like the following, with a custom class (ExtProperty) analogous to a subclass of OpenStruct... class ExtProperty include Ripple::NestedDocument ## New thingy property :text, String property :source, String property :code, Integer end class Contract include Ripple::Document property :product_code, ExtProperty property :contract_unit, ExtProperty property :price_quotation_unit, ExtProperty property :floating_price_definition, ExtProperty end I can currently get part of this with the Ripple::NestedAttributes construct, but it lacks a defined class. I would have to explicitly convert a hash to a desired class, and vice versa. And also, the top-level class wouldn't specify the nested class, if you were to think of the class definition as a data model definition. Any plans for something like what I described? - Tom
