Upgrading Hashie
================
### Upgrading to 2.2
#### Compatibility with Rails 4 Strong Parameters
Version 2.1 introduced support to prevent default Rails 4 mass-assignment protection behavior. This was [issue #89](https://github.com/intridea/hashie/issues/89), resolved in [#104](https://github.com/intridea/hashie/pull/104). In version 2.2 this behavior has been removed in [#147](https://github.com/intridea/hashie/pull/147) in favor of a mixin.
To enable 2.1 compatible behavior, add the following initializer in config/initializers/mash.rb. This prevents Mash from responding to `:permitted?` and therefore triggering this behavior in [ForbiddenAttributesProtection](https://github.com/rails/strong_parameters/blob/master/lib/active_model/forbidden_attributes_protection.rb).
```ruby
class Mash
include Hashie::Extensions::Mash::ActiveModel
end
```
See [Mash and Rails 4 Strong Parameters](README.md#mash-and-rails-4-strong-parameters) for more details.
#### Key Conversions in Hashie::Dash and Hashie::Trash
Version 2.1 and older of Hashie::Dash and Hashie::Trash converted keys to strings by default. This is no longer the case in 2.2.
Consider the following code.
```ruby
class Person < Hashie::Dash
property :name
end
p = Person.new(name: 'dB.')
```
Version 2.1 behaves as follows.
```ruby
p.name # => 'dB.'
p[:name] # => 'dB.'
p['name'] # => 'dB.'
# not what I put in
p.inspect # => { 'name' => 'dB.' }
p.to_hash # => { 'name' => 'dB.' }
```
It was not possible to achieve the behavior of preserving keys, as described in [issue #151](https://github.com/intridea/hashie/issues/151).
Version 2.2 does not perform this conversion by default.
```ruby
p.name # => 'dB.'
p[:name] # => 'dB.'
# p['name'] # => NoMethodError
p.inspect # => { :name => 'dB.' }
p.to_hash # => { :name => 'dB.' }
```
To enable behavior compatible with older versions, use `Hashie::Extensions::Dash::IndifferentAccess`.
```ruby
class Person < Hashie::Dash
include Hashie::Extensions::Dash::IndifferentAccess
property :name
end
```
#### Key Conversions in Hashie::Hash#to_hash
Version 2.1 or older of Hash#to_hash converted keys to strings automatically.
```ruby
instance = Hashie::Hash[first: 'First', 'last' => 'Last']
instance.to_hash # => { "first" => 'First', "last" => 'Last' }
```
It was possible to symbolize keys by passing `:symbolize_keys`, however it was not possible to retrieve the hash with initial key values.
```ruby
instance.to_hash(symbolize_keys: true) # => { :first => 'First', :last => 'Last' }
instance.to_hash(stringify_keys: true) # => { "first" => 'First', "last" => 'Last' }
```
Version 2.2 no longer converts keys by default.
```ruby
instance = Hashie::Hash[first: 'First', 'last' => 'Last']
instance.to_hash # => { :first => 'First', "last" => 'Last' }
```
The behavior with `symbolize_keys` and `stringify_keys` is unchanged.
See [#152](https://github.com/intridea/hashie/pull/152) for more information.
