Rails 3 delete all elements of an array
I am tryin开发者_运维知识库g to delete an array of users but the way I have it it is deleting one by one. Is there a better way to do it?
My code is:
@users ||= User.where("clicks_given - clicks_received < ?", -5).to_a
@users.each do |user|
user.destroy
end
You can just use Rails' built-in methods. Note that you need to wrap your query in an array (if you're interpolating variables) when using these methods.
To iterate over each one calling destroy (which will run callbacks, etc.):
User.destroy_all(["clicks_given - clicks_received < ?", -5])
Or to just delete these in the database in a single query (no iteration over each item), you can do this, but keep in mind it won't run your callbacks:
User.delete_all(["clicks_given - clicks_received < ?", -5])
You could use the destroy_all
method:
User.destroy_all("clicks_given - clicks_received < ?", -5)
Reference: http://apidock.com/rails/v3.0.5/ActiveRecord/Relation/destroy_all
I've also used the following before:
@users.map(&:destroy)
It's essentially doing the same thing as your each call, but you can avoid the boiler-plate code.
