module Hash #:nodoc:
# Slice a hash to include only the given keys. This is useful for
# limiting an options hash to valid keys before passing to a method:
#
# def search(criteria = {})
# assert_valid_keys(:mass, :velocity, :time)
# end
#
# search(options.slice(:mass, :velocity, :time))
#
# If you have an array of keys you want to limit to, you should splat them:
#
# valid_keys = [:mass, :velocity, :time]
# search(options.slice(*valid_keys))
module Slice
# Returns a new hash with only the given keys.
def slice(*keys)
keys = keys.map! { |key| convert_key(key) } if respond_to?(:convert_key)
hash = {}
keys.each { |k| hash[k] = self[k] if has_key?(k) }
hash
end
# Replaces the hash with only the given keys.
