Extends ActiveRecord by adding pluck_to_hash method that returns array of hashes instead of array of arrays. Useful when plucking multiple columns for rendering json or you need to access individual fields in your view for example.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'pluck_to_hash'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install pluck_to_hash
Usage is similar to ActiveRecord.pluck, for example
Post.limit(2).pluck_to_hash(:id, :title)
#
# [{:id=>213, :title=>"foo"}, {:id=>214, :title=>"bar"}]
#
Post.limit(2).pluck_to_hash(:id)
#
# [{:id=>213}, {:id=>214}]
#Or use the shorter alias pluck_h
Post.limit(2).pluck_h(:id)
#
# [{:id=>213}, {:id=>214}]
#Here are results of "benchmark" tests performed on MacBook Air. Each method did 10 runs, rejected the 2 highest and 2 lowest times and average the remaining 6. Ran these tests on about 40,000 records. We notice that pluck_to_hash is almost 4x faster than select and about 8x faster than as_json. As with all the "benchmarks", you should take these results with a pinch of salt!
# Node.pluck_h(:id, :title)
# Node.select(:id, :title).to_a
# Node.select(:id, :title).as_json
