MyValue = Data.define(:some, :stuff)
a_value = MyValue.new(some: "thing", stuff: "here")
puts a_value.to_h # => { some: "thing", stuff: "here" }

another = a_value.with(stuff: "there")
puts another.eql?(a_value) # => false
puts another.to_h # => { some: "thing", stuff: "there" }

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
