OpenStruct#delete_field

delete_field(name)

# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.0.5/lib/ostruct.rb, line 325
def delete_field(name)
  sym = name.to_sym
  begin
    singleton_class.remove_method(sym, "#{sym}=")
  rescue NameError
  end
  @table.delete(sym) do
    raise! NameError.new("no field `#{sym}' in #{self}", sym)
  end
end

Removes the named field from the object. Returns the value that the field contained if it was defined.

Example

require "ostruct"

person = OpenStruct.new(name: "John", age: 70, pension: 300)

person.delete_field!("age")  # => 70
person                       # => #<OpenStruct name="John", pension=300>

Setting the value to nil will not remove the attribute:

Example

person.pension = nil
person                 # => #<OpenStruct name="John", pension=nil>
