Grouping Mongoid Objects by Day
After much playing around in the console, I came up with this method to group activerecord-like (Mongoid) objects by the day on which they occured. I'm not sure this is the best way to accomplish this, but it works. Does anyone have a better suggestion, or is this a good way to do it?
#events is an ar开发者_开发知识库ray of activerecord-like objects that include a time attribute
events.map{ |event|
# convert events array into an array of hashes with the day of the month and the event
{ :number => event.time.day, :event => event }
}.reduce({}){ |memo,day|
# convert this into a hash with arrays of events keyed by their day or occurrance
( memo[day[:number]] ||= [] ) << day[:event]
memo
}
=> {
29 => [e1, e2],
28 => [e3, e4, e5],
27 => [e6, e7],
...
}
Thanks!
After more thought and some help from Forrst, I came up with this:
events.inject({}) do |memo,event|
( memo[event.time.day] ||= [] ) << event
memo
end
Apparently Rails monkeypatches Enumerable with a #group_by method that works like this:
events.group_by { |event| event.time.day }
