Return anonymous object from a method in ruby

Question

How can I return an anonymous object from a method in ruby.?

In the following code, I am returning an hash.

  def process
    source = helper

    # I am able to get the value as an hash
    puts source[:url]
    puts source[:params]

    # But I wonder if there is a way to get it as an object, so that I can use the dot notation
    # puts source.url
    # puts source.params
  end

  def helper
    url = ''
    params = ''
    return {url: url, params: params}
  end

Any thoughts.?

Openstruct?

require 'ostruct'

  OpenStruct.new(url: '', params: '')    
end

Try this:

def helper
  Class.new do
    def url
      ''
    end
    def params

    end
  end.new
end
