Reference documentation and code samples for the gapic-common module Gapic::Protobuf.
A set of internal utilities for coercing data to protobuf messages.
Methods
.coerce
defself.coerce(hash,to:)->Object
Creates an instance of a protobuf message from a hash that may include nested hashes. google/protobuf allows
for the instantiation of protobuf messages using hashes but does not allow for nested hashes to instantiate
nested submessages.
Parameters
hash (Hash, Object) — The hash to be converted into a proto message. If an instance of the proto message
class is given, it is returned unchanged.
to (Class) — The corresponding protobuf message class of the given hash.
Returns
(Object) — An instance of the given message class.
