# Hash as an erlang process

##### Should Not Be Used Without Adult Supervision

[![Build Status](https://github.com/eiri/horrible-hash/workflows/build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/eiri/horrible-hash/actions)

## What is it

This is an erlang module that makes a mutable hash (in Perl's meaning) with a little help of process dictionary.

## Motivation

Mischief, mostly.

## Build

```bash

git clone https://github.com/eiri/horrible-hash.git

cd horrible-hash

make

make shell

```

```erlang

Erlang/OTP 18 [erts-7.2.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]

Eshell V7.2.1  (abort with ^G)

1> horrible_hash:new('$hash').

true

2> horrible_hash:set('$hash', key, value).

true

3> horrible_hash:exists('$hash', key).

true

4> horrible_hash:get('$hash', key).

value

5> horrible_hash:delete('$hash', key).

true

6> horrible_hash:exists('$hash', key).

false

7> horrible_hash:delete('$hash').

true

8>

```

## Include in your project

Please don't.

Well, ok, if you insist.

```erlang

{deps, [

  {horrible_hash, {git, "https://github.com/eiri/horrible-hash.git"}, {tag, "0.1.0"}}

]}

```

## Usage

## Random QA

*   _Should I use it in production?_


    No.

*   _Yeah, but why not to use it?_


    Because it destroys referencial transparency, makes debugging difficult and in general gives nothing ETS doesn't give.
