end

#each_with_object(memo) ⇒ Object

Iterates over a collection, passing the current element and the memo to the block. Handy for building up hashes or reducing collections down to one object. Examples:

%w(foo bar).each_with_object({}) { |str, hsh| hsh[str] = str.upcase }
# => {'foo' => 'FOO', 'bar' => 'BAR'}

Note that you can’t use immutable objects like numbers, true or false as the memo. You would think the following returns 120, but since the memo is never changed, it does not.

(1..5).each_with_object(1) { |value, memo| memo *= value } # => 1

def each_with_object(memo)
  return to_enum :each_with_object, memo unless block_given?
  each do |element|
    yield element, memo
  end
  memo
end

#exclude?(object) ⇒ Boolean

The negative of the Enumerable#include?. Returns true if the collection does not include the object.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def exclude?(object)
  !include?(object)
end

#group_by ⇒ Object

Collect an enumerable into sets, grouped by the result of a block. Useful, for example, for grouping records by date.

Example:

latest_transcripts.group_by(&:day).each do |day, transcripts|
  p "#{day} -> #{transcripts.map(&:class).join(', ')}"
end
"2006-03-01 -> Transcript"
"2006-02-28 -> Transcript"
"2006-02-27 -> Transcript, Transcript"
"2006-02-26 -> Transcript, Transcript"
"2006-02-25 -> Transcript"
"2006-02-24 -> Transcript, Transcript"
"2006-02-23 -> Transcript"

def group_by
  return to_enum :group_by unless block_given?
  assoc = ActiveSupport::OrderedHash.new

  each do |element|
    key = yield(element)

    if assoc.has_key?(key)
      assoc[key] << element
    else
      assoc[key] = [element]
    end
  end

  assoc
end

#index_by ⇒ Object

Convert an enumerable to a hash. Examples:

people.index_by(&:login)
  => { "nextangle" => <Person ...>, "chade-" => <Person ...>, ...}
people.index_by { |person| "#{person.first_name} #{person.last_name}" }
  => { "Chade- Fowlersburg-e" => <Person ...>, "David Heinemeier Hansson" => <Person ...>, ...}

def index_by
  return to_enum :index_by unless block_given?
  Hash[map { |elem| [yield(elem), elem] }]
end

#many? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the enumerable has more than 1 element. Functionally equivalent to enum.to_a.size > 1. Can be called with a block too, much like any?, so people.many? { |p| p.age > 26 } returns true if more than one person is over 26.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def many?
  cnt = 0
  if block_given?
    any? do |element|
      cnt += 1 if yield element
      cnt > 1
    end
  else
    any?{ (cnt += 1) > 1 }
  end
end

#sum(identity = 0, &block) ⇒ Object

Calculates a sum from the elements. Examples:

payments.sum { |p| p.price * p.tax_rate }
payments.sum(&:price)

The latter is a shortcut for:

payments.inject(0) { |sum, p| sum + p.price }

It can also calculate the sum without the use of a block.

[5, 15, 10].sum # => 30
["foo", "bar"].sum # => "foobar"
[[1, 2], [3, 1, 5]].sum => [1, 2, 3, 1, 5]

The default sum of an empty list is zero. You can override this default:

[].sum(Payment.new(0)) { |i| i.amount } # => Payment.new(0)
