你可以偷懒，把它用lambda括起来:

my_hash = YAML.load_file('yml')
my_lamb = lambda { |key| my_hash[key.to_s] }

my_lamb[:a] == my_hash['a'] #=> true

但这只适用于从散列中读取数据，而不是写入数据。

要做到这一点，你可以使用hash# merge

my_hash = Hash.new { |h,k| h[k] = h[k.to_s] }.merge(YAML.load_file('yml'))

init块将按需一次转换键，但如果您在访问符号版本后更新键的字符串版本的值，则符号版本将不会更新。

irb> x = { 'a' => 1, 'b' => 2 }
#=> {"a"=>1, "b"=>2}
irb> y = Hash.new { |h,k| h[k] = h[k.to_s] }.merge(x)
#=> {"a"=>1, "b"=>2}
irb> y[:a]  # the key :a doesn't exist for y, so the init block is called
#=> 1
irb> y
#=> {"a"=>1, :a=>1, "b"=>2}
irb> y[:a]  # the key :a now exists for y, so the init block is isn't called
#=> 1
irb> y['a'] = 3
#=> 3
irb> y
#=> {"a"=>3, :a=>1, "b"=>2}

你也可以让init块不更新哈希，这将保护你免受这种错误，但你仍然容易受到相反的攻击-更新符号版本不会更新字符串版本:

irb> q = { 'c' => 4, 'd' => 5 }
#=> {"c"=>4, "d"=>5}
irb> r = Hash.new { |h,k| h[k.to_s] }.merge(q)
#=> {"c"=>4, "d"=>5}
irb> r[:c] # init block is called
#=> 4
irb> r
#=> {"c"=>4, "d"=>5}
irb> r[:c] # init block is called again, since this key still isn't in r
#=> 4
irb> r[:c] = 7
#=> 7
irb> r
#=> {:c=>7, "c"=>4, "d"=>5}

所以要注意的是在两种键形式之间切换。坚持用一个。

类似于前面的解决方案，但写得有点不同。

This allows for a hash that is nested and/or has arrays. Get conversion of keys to a string as a bonus. Code does not mutate the hash been passed in. module HashUtils def symbolize_keys(hash) transformer_function = ->(key) { key.to_sym } transform_keys(hash, transformer_function) end def stringify_keys(hash) transformer_function = ->(key) { key.to_s } transform_keys(hash, transformer_function) end def transform_keys(obj, transformer_function) case obj when Array obj.map{|value| transform_keys(value, transformer_function)} when Hash obj.each_with_object({}) do |(key, value), hash| hash[transformer_function.call(key)] = transform_keys(value, transformer_function) end else obj end end end

在ruby中，我发现这是最简单、最容易理解的将字符串键转换为符号的方法:

my_hash.keys.each { |key| my_hash[key.to_sym] = my_hash.delete(key)}

对于散列中的每个键，我们调用delete函数将其从散列中删除(delete也返回与被删除的键相关的值)，并立即将其设置为符号化的键。

这是一种深度象征物体的方法

def symbolize(obj)
    return obj.inject({}){|memo,(k,v)| memo[k.to_sym] =  symbolize(v); memo} if obj.is_a? Hash
    return obj.inject([]){|memo,v    | memo           << symbolize(v); memo} if obj.is_a? Array
    return obj
end

如果你想要香草红宝石解决方案，因为我没有访问ActiveSupport这里是深符号解决方案(非常类似于以前的)

    def deep_convert(element)
      return element.collect { |e| deep_convert(e) } if element.is_a?(Array)
      return element.inject({}) { |sh,(k,v)| sh[k.to_sym] = deep_convert(v); sh } if element.is_a?(Hash)
      element
    end

从Ruby 2.5.0开始，你可以使用哈希#transform_keys或哈希#transform_keys!

{'a' => 1, 'b' => 2}.transform_keys(&:to_sym) #=> {:a => 1, :b => 2}
