Forum: IronRuby hash#flatten not implemented

Hi All,

I just found out that Hash#flatten is not implemented in IronRuby, for
whoever that needs it here is the implementation (I tested it comparing
the results with Ruby 1.9.2) giving the same results:

--------------
class Hash
   def flatten(level=1)
      a = []
      self.each{|x,y| a << x; a << y}
      while level > 1
         a = a.flatten
         level -= 1
      end
      a
   end
end
--------------

You would need to put it at the very beginning of any application that
needs that standard functionality.


I'm not sure this is the best implementation, but it is quick & dirty
and solved my problems with a gem that used Hash#flatten internally...

Hope IronRuby includes the right implementation (or this one if the
maintainers deem reasonable) in the next IronRuby release.

Best Regards to everyone
