Question

i have a basic ruby class:

class LogEntry  end 

and what i would like to do is be able to define a hash with a few values like so:

EntryType = { :error => 0, :warning => 1, :info => 2 } 

so that i can access the values like this (or something similar):

LogEntry.EntryType[:error] 

is this even possible in Ruby? am i going about this the right way?

Answer 1

You can do this:

class LogEntry     EntryType = { :error => 0, :warning => 1, :info => 2 } end 

But you want to reference it as

LogEntry::EntryType[:error]
