Never let pesky "frozen" objects get in your way again! Use Defrost to remove the frozen state from your objects!

Defrost

Isn't it annoying when you try to mutate an object but it turns out the object is frozen? Don't you wish you could "defrost" the object so you could mutate it?

Well I have the gem for you!

Never "lose your cool" with the Defrost gem! The Defrost gem allows you to "unfreeze" your objects so that you can mutate them with reckless abandon! No longer will you need to grapple with "immutability" when you can simply just call "defrost".

Example

# Frozen string. Boring, hard to use, can't change it
str = "some string".freeze
p str.frozen? # => true

require "defrost"

# Not frozen string. Exciting, dynamic, no idea when it will change!
str.defrost
p str.frozen? # => false
