assoc - Associative arrays for fish shell

The aim of this plugin is to provide associative array functionality for fish shell. This is achieved using a set of simple ruby scripts. Please note that associative arrays in this plugin are immutable. Also note that this plugin is intended to be used with only a small number of keys.

Examples

You can create a new associative array using function assoc_create:

$ set assoc (assoc_create key1 42 key2 24)

Use the assoc_show to show associative array in human-friendly format:

$ assoc_show $assoc # => {"key1"=>"42", "key2"=>"24"}

To get a value with given key use the assoc_get function:

$ assoc_get $assoc key2 # => 24

You can update your array using the assoc_updated function:

$ set assoc2 (assoc_updated $assoc key1 new_value)
$ assoc_show $assoc # => {"key1"=>"42", "key2"=>"24"}
$ assoc_show $assoc2 # => {"key1"=>"new_value", "key2"=>"24"}

To removes certain keys use the assoc_removed function:

$ set assoc2 (assoc_removed $assoc key1)
$ assoc_show $assoc # => {"key1"=>"42", "key2"=>"24"}
$ assoc_show $assoc2 # => {"key2"=>"24"}

List of all keys in an array can be obtained using assoc_keys:

$ assoc_keys $assoc # => key1 \n key2

You can also get total number of elements using assoc_size:

$ assoc_size $assoc # => 2

Finally, you can pipe multiple operations:

$ assoc_create key1 42 key2 24 |
  assoc_updated -- key3 32 |
  assoc_removed -- key2 |
  assoc_show # => {"key1"=>"42", "key3"=>"32"}

##Requirements

ruby (tested with version 2.2, but probably works with other as well)
