Instance Method Details

#each_with_object(memo, &block) ⇒ 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, &block)
  returning memo do |m|
    each do |element|
      block.call(element, m)
    end
  end
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
  assoc = PassiveSupport::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
  inject({}) do |accum, elem|
    accum[yield(elem)] = elem
    accum
  end
end

#many?(&block) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the collection has more than 1 element. Functionally equivalent to collection.size > 1. Works with a block too ala any?, so people.many? { |p| p.age > 26 } # => returns true if more than 1 person is over 26.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def many?(&block)
  size = block_given? ? select(&block).size : self.size
  size > 1
end

#none?(&block) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if none of the elements match the given block.

success = responses.none? {|r| r.status / 100 == 5 }

This is a builtin method in Ruby 1.8.7 and later.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def none?(&block)
  !any?(&block)
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 { |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)
