Key maps

When you define a schema, you get access to the key map which holds information about specified keys. Internally, dry-schema uses key maps to:

  • Rebuild the original input hash by rejecting unknown keys
  • (optional) coerce keys from strings to symbols

Accessing key map

To access schema's key map use Schema#key_map method:

schema = Dry::Schema.Params do
  required(:email).filled(:string)
  optional(:age).filled(:integer, gt?: 18)
end

schema.key_map
# => #<Dry::Schema::KeyMap["email", "age"]>

schema.key_map.write("email" => "jane@doe.org", "age" => 21, "something_unexpected" => "oops")
# => {:email=>"jane@doe.org", :age=>21}

KeyMap is an enumerable

You can use Enumerable API when working with key maps:

schema.key_map.each { |key| puts key.inspect }
# #<Dry::Schema::Key name="email" coercer=#<Proc:0x00007feb288ff848(&:to_sym)>>
# #<Dry::Schema::Key name="age" coercer=#<Proc:0x00007feb288ff848(&:to_sym)>>

schema.key_map.detect { |key| key.name.eql?("email") }
# => #<Dry::Schema::Key name="email" coercer=#<Proc:0x00007feb288ff848(&:to_sym)>>
