# Bitmask

Bitmask represents a set of boolean values as an Integer.

This bitmask gem was extracted from [amiel/has_bitmask_attributes](https://github.com/amiel/has_bitmask_attributes)

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bitmask'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bitmask

## Usage

Examples:

```ruby
masks = {
:cat => 0b0001,
:dog => 0b0010,
:fish => 0b0100,
}

bitmask = Bitmask.new(masks, {:cat => true})
bitmask.to_i # => 1
bitmask.get :cat # => true
bitmask.get :dog # => false
bitmask.set :dog, true
bitmask.get :dog # => true
bitmask.to_i # => 3
bitmask.to_h # => { :cat => true, :dog => true, :fish => false }

bitmask = Bitmask.new(masks, 0b101)
bitmask.to_h # => { :cat => true, :dog => false, :fish => true }
bitmask.to_i # => 5
bitmask.to_i.to_s(2) # => "101"

Bitmask.new(masks, 5) == Bitmask.new(masks, { :cat => true, :dog => false, :fish => true }) # => true

# Least Significant Bit - LSB
bitmask = Bitmask.new(masks, {:cat => true, :fish => true})
bitmask.lsb # => 1
bitmask.lsb.to_s(2) # => "1"
Bitmask.new(masks, bitmask.lsb).to_a # => [:cat]

# Most Significant Bit - MSB
bitmask = Bitmask.new(masks, 0b101)
bitmask.msb # => 4
bitmask.msb.to_s(2) # => "100"
Bitmask.new(masks, bitmask.msb).to_a # => [:fish]
```

### Chaining

```ruby
masks = {
:cat => 0b0001,
:dog => 0b0010,
:fish => 0b0100,
}
bitmask = Bitmask.new(masks, {:cat => true})
bitmask.to_i.to_s(2) # => "1"
bitmask.set(:dog, true).set(:cat, false).set(:fish, true)
bitmask.to_i.to_s(2) # => "110"
```
