# Create Named Structs With Struct.new
|
||||
|
||||
I often see `Struct` used to create some one-off anonymous data structure
|
||||
like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
> person = Struct.new(:name, :age)
|
||||
=> #<Class:0x007fc6c89112e8>
|
||||
> person.new("Alice", 33)
|
||||
=> #<struct name="Alice", age=33>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will often get the job done, but on its own the resulting data
|
||||
structure doesn't tell us as much as it could.
|
||||
|
||||
We can say more with a _named_ struct:
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
Struct.new("Person", :name, :age)
|
||||
=> Struct::Person
|
||||
> Struct::Person.new("Bob", 24)
|
||||
=> #<struct Struct::Person name="Bob", age=24>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When the first argument is a string that can be converted to a constant,
|
||||
then we'll get a named struct that is subclassed under `Struct`.
|
||||
|
||||
We can also assign the struct initialization to a constant to do a similar
|
||||
thing:
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
> Person = Struct.new(:name, :age)
|
||||
=> Person
|
||||
> Person.new("Jerry", 45)
|
||||
=> #<struct Person name="Jerry", age=45>
|
||||
```
