I am currently fetching all notes in model by
#notes_list = current_user.notes.order(:title).group_by { |note| note.title[0] }
Later i added a column to notes table that is known a boolean column.
Now i want to fetch only true valued columns and false valued columns separately something like below
#notes_true_list = blah....
#notes_false_list = blah....
Can anyone help me?
Try the below code.
#notes_true_list = current_user.notes.where(known: true).order(:title).group_by { |note| note.title[0] }
#notes_false_list = current_user.notes.where(known: false).order(:title).group_by { |note| note.title[0] }

I'm using Rails and learning ActiveRecord and I came across a vexing problem. Here's an array in my model:
#sea_countries = ['Singapore','Malaysia','Indonesia', 'Vietnam', 'Philippines', 'Thailand']
And here's my ActiveRecord object:
#sea_funding = StartupFunding.joins(:startup)
.where('startups.locations LIKE ?', '%Singapore%')
What I'm trying to do is to return a result where a string in the 'locations' column matches any element in the Array. I'm able to match the strings to each element of an Array (as above), but I'm not sure how to iterate over the whole Array such that the element is included as long as there's one match.
The intent is that an element with multiple locations 'Singapore,Malaysia' would be included within #sea_funding as well.
Well, don't ask me why 'locations' is set as a string. It's just the way the previous developer did it.
You use an IN clause in your .where filter:
#sea_funding = StartupFunding.joins(:startup)
.where(["startups.locations IN (?)", #sea_countries])
#sea_countries.include?(startups.locations)
This will return a boolean TRUE if the value of the locations column in startups can be found in the sea_countries array, false if it is absent.
Could this work for you?
first = true
where_clause = nil
sea_countries.each do |country|
quoted_country = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.quote_string(country)
if first
where_clause = "startups.locations LIKE '%#{quoted_country}%' "
first = false
else
where_clause += "OR startups.locations LIKE '%#{quoted_country}%' "
end
end
#sea_funding = StartupFunding.joins(:startup)
.where(where_clause)
Is there a way to pull records from activerecord in a hash already indexed by id instead of an array?
This is what im currently doing:
results = {}
Table.select { |current| results[current.id] = current }
Im assuming that there has to be a method that does that?
Table.all.index_by { |t| t.id }
Or:
Table.all.index_by(&:id)
if you're into the whole brevity thing.
Is it possible to parse an array of objects to select them by attribute? I have a situation where I need to display all objects of a model grouped by an attribute on the index page. What I had been doing in my controller is this...
#xx_controller.rb
#group1 = City.where(:population => 'big')
#group2 = City.where(:population => 'medium')
#group3 = City.where(:population => 'small')
But I'd prefer to do something like this in the controller...
#cities = City.all
And in my view something along the lines of a query, rather than prepackaged instance variables -
#cities.where....
Any thoughts?
If you don't mind loading everything at once from the database, you can do:
#cities = City.all.group_by(&:population)
Which returns a hash whose keys are the possible values for the population attribute.
Then, on your view, you can access the cities on each 'group' by doing #cities['small'], #cities['medium'] and so on.
Do you mean something like this?
#cities = City.all
small_cities = #cities.select { |city| city.population == 'small' }
medium_cities = #cities.select { |city| city.population == 'medium' }
big_cities = #cities.select { | city| city.population == 'big' }
I have a table called audits which has a column 'changes' storing data in the form of hash
I would like to retrieve all entries with the following conditions:
- auditable_type = 'Expression'
- action = 'destroy'
- changes = { :EXP_SUBMISSION_FK =>'9999992642'}
I first tried the following code which returns me with nothing:
#deleted_history = Audit.find(:all, :conditions => ["auditable_type =? AND action = ? AND changes = ?",'Expression', 'destroy' , { :EXP_SUBMISSION_FK =>'9999992642'} ])
I then tried the following code which retrieves all entries in the 'audits' table with auditable_type = 'Expression' and action = 'destroy'.
I then loop through the resultset and discards all entries where EXP_SUBMISSION_FK is not equal to 9999992642. The code below returns me 5 entries/records
#deleted_history = Audit.find(:all, :conditions => ["auditable_type =? AND action = ?",'Expression', 'destroy' ])
#deleted_history.each do |test|
if test.changes['EXP_SUBMISSION_FK'] != 9999992642
#deleted_history = #deleted_history.reject { test }
end
end
I would like to know where did I go wrong with the first code example and whether there is a way of retrieving all entries with the aforementioned conditions in a much simpler way.
Thanks a lot for your help.
i'd do:
#deleted_history.select!{|hist| hist.changes['EXP_SUBMISSION_FK'] == '9999992642'}
One potential cause of failure is that you're looking for 9999992642 but you state before the value is '9999992642'
You just use something like below. I am storing element_values as a hash and i am selecting records based on the key/value pair.
scope :find_by_field_values, lambda {
|field_name, field_value|
(where("element_values like ?", "%\"#{field_name}\":\"%#{field_value}%"))
}
just try this based on your scenario.
I want to create a query like so:
#step1_completed = IF 1 or more records exists return true, else false
The exist? method was made for this:
Record.exist?
It will do a query to check if a single record for the table exists and will return true if it does.
Assuming record is a model,
#step1_completed = Record.any?
How about the following:
#step1_completed = Record.first ? true : false
