Ruby mapping array into hash - arrays

I have a 2D array with each row like:
['John', 'M', '34']
I want to map into an array of Hash with each hash like:
{:Name=>"John", :Gender=>"M", :Age=>"34"}
Is there an elegant way of doing that?

array_of_rows.map { |n,g,a| { Name: n, Gender: g, Age: a } }
or
array_of_rows.map { |row| %i{Name Gender Age}.zip(row).to_h }
They produce the same result, so pick the one you find clearer. For example, given this input:
array_of_rows = [
['John', 'M', '34'],
['Mark', 'M', '49']
]
either expression will yield this output:
[{:Name=>"John", :Gender=>"M", :Age=>"34"},
{:Name=>"Mark", :Gender=>"M", :Age=>"49"}]

You could try using zip and then to_h (which stands for to hash)
For example:
[:Name, :Gender, :Age].zip(['John', 'M', '34']).to_h
=> {:Name=>"John", :Gender=>"M", :Age=>"34"}
Read more about zip here
And read about to_h here

people = [['John', 'M', '34']]
keys = %i{Name Gender Age}
hashes = people.map { |person| keys.zip(person).to_h }
# => [{:Name=>"John", :Gender=>"M", :Age=>"34"}]
Basically the way I turn combine two arrays into a hash (one with keys, one with values) is to use Array#zip. This can turn [1,2,3] and [4,5,6] into [[1,4], [2,5], [3,6]]
This structure can be easily turned into a hash via to_h

array_of_rows = [
['John', 'M', '34'],
['Mark', 'M', '49']
]
keys = ['Name', 'Gender', 'Age']
[keys].product(array_of_rows).map { |k,v| k.zip(v).to_h }
#=> [{"Name"=>"John", "Gender"=>"M", "Age"=>"34"},
# {"Name"=>"Mark", "Gender"=>"M", "Age"=>"49"}]
or
keys_cycle = keys.cycle
array_of_rows.map do |values|
values.each_with_object({}) { |value, h| h[keys_cycle.next]=value }
do

Here is one more way to do this
array_of_rows = [
['John', 'M', '34'],
['Mark', 'M', '49']
]
keys = [:Name, :Gender, :Age]
array_of_rows.collect { |a| Hash[ [keys, a].transpose] }
#=>[{:Name=>"John", :Gender=>"M", :Age=>"34"}, {:Name=>"Mark", :Gender=>"M", :Age=>"49"}]

How to convert array like this ["John,Doe,11222019", "Mark,King,11232019", "Angle,Darma,11242019"] to Array of hash Ruby

How to convert array:
["John,Doe,11222019", "Mark,King,11232019", "Angle,Darma,11242019"]
to Array of hash like this using Ruby :
[
{ :name => "John Doe", :number => 11222019 },
{ :name => "Mark King", :number => 11232019 },
{ :name => "Angle Darma", :number => 11242019 },
]
Thank you very much!
You can do it simply as below,
array.map { |x| [:name, :number].zip(x.sub(',', ' ').split(',')).to_h }
# => [{:name=>"John Doe", :number=>11222019}, {:name=>"Mark King", :number=>11232019}, {:name=>"Angle Darma", :number=>11242019}]
Option using Ruby 2.6.1 Object#then:
ary = ["John,Doe,11222019", "Mark,King,11232019", "Angle,Darma,11242019"]
ary.map { |s| s.split(',').then{ |a| {name: a.first(2).join(' ') , number: a.last.to_i } } }
For Ruby 2.5.2 Object#yield_self:
ary.map { |s| s.split(',').yield_self{ |a| {name: a.first(2).join(' ') , number: a.last.to_i } } }
Both returning:
#=> [{:name=>"John Doe", :number=>11222019}, {:name=>"Mark King", :number=>11232019}, {:name=>"Angle Darma", :number=>11242019}]
arr = ["John,Doe,11222019", "Mark,King,11232019",
"Angle,Darma,11242019"]
arr.map do |s|
{name: s[/.+(?=,)/].tr(',',' '), number: s[/\d+/].to_i}
end
#=> [{:name=>"John Doe", :number=>11222019},
# {:name=>"Mark King", :number=>11232019},
# {:name=>"Angle Darma", :number=>11242019}]
The steps are as follows. Enumerable#map passes the first element of arr to the block and the block variable s is set equal to its value:
s = arr.first
#=> "John,Doe,11222019"
The block calculations are then performed:
a = s[/.+(?=,)/]
#=> "John,Doe"
This uses the method String#[] with the regular expression /.+(?=,)/. (?=,) is a positive lookahead that requires the match to be followed immediately by a comma. Because matches are by default greedy the lookahead matches the last comma in s.
b = a.tr(',',' ')
#=> "John Doe"
This uses the method String#tr. Alternatively, a.sub(',',' ') could be used.
c = s[/\d+/]
#=> "11222019"
d = c.to_i
#=> 11222019
The block then returns:
{ name: c, number: d }
#=> {:name=>"11222019", :number=>11222019}
which is the object to which s is mapped. The remaining two values of arr are passed to the block and similar calculations are performed.
a = ["John,Doe,11222019", "Mark,King,11232019", "Angle,Darma,11242019"]
Something like this
a.map do |f|
f = f.split(',')
{ name: "#{f[0]} #{f[1]}", number: f[2].to_i }
end
arr = ["John,Doe,11222019", "Mark,King,11232019", "Angle,Darma,11242019"]
arr.map do |item|
chunks = item.split(",")
{name: chunks[0...-1].join(" "), number: chunks[-1]}
end
Indexing by [0...-1] allows you to have variable number of items in the name part (middle name, or 2 piece last names) which is pretty common.

How to merge two arrays of hashes

I have two arrays of hashes:
a = [
{
key: 1,
value: "foo"
},
{
key: 2,
value: "baz"
}
]
b = [
{
key: 1,
value: "bar"
},
{
key: 1000,
value: "something"
}
]
I want to merge them into one array of hashes, so essentially a + b except I want any duplicated key in b to overwrite those in a. In this case, both a and b contain a key 1 and I want the final result to have b's key value pair.
Here's the expected result:
expected = [
{
key: 1,
value: "bar"
},
{
key: 2,
value: "baz"
},
{
key: 1000,
value: "something"
}
]
I got it to work but I was wondering if there's a less wordy way of doing this:
hash_result = {}
a.each do |item|
hash_result[item[:key]] = item[:value]
end
b.each do |item|
hash_result[item[:key]] = item[:value]
end
result = []
hash_result.each do |k,v|
result << {:key => k, :value => v}
end
puts result
puts expected == result # prints true
uniq would work if you concatenate the arrays in reverse order:
(b + a).uniq { |h| h[:key] }
#=> [
# {:key=>1, :value=>"bar"},
# {:key=>1000, :value=>"something"},
# {:key=>2, :value=>"baz"}
# ]
It doesn't however preserve the order.
[a, b].map { |arr| arr.group_by { |e| e[:key] } }
.reduce(&:merge)
.flat_map(&:last)
Here we use hash[:key] as a key to build the new hash, then we merge them overriding everything with the last value and return values.
I would rebuild your data a bit, since there are redundant keys in hashes:
thin_b = b.map { |h| [h[:key], h[:value]] }.to_h
#=> {1=>"bar", 1000=>"something"}
thin_a = b.map { |h| [h[:key], h[:value]] }.to_h
#=> {1=>"bar", 1000=>"something"}
Then you can use just Hash#merge:
thin_a.merge(thin_b)
#=> {1=>"bar", 2=>"baz", 1000=>"something"}
But, if you want, you can get exactly result as mentioned in question:
result.map { |k, v| { key: k, value: v } }
#=> [{:key=>1, :value=>"bar"},
# {:key=>2, :value=>"baz"},
# {:key=>1000, :value=>"something"}]
using Enumerable#group_by and Enumerable#map
(b+a).group_by { |e| e[:key] }.values.map {|arr| arr.first}
If you need to merge two arrays of hashes that should be merged also and there is more than two keys, then next snippet should help:
[a, b].flatten
.compact
.group_by { |v| v[:key] }
.values
.map { |e| e.reduce(&:merge) }

Ruby Hash Values is Array, need to convert to string

I have a hash of integers as keys and arrays of strings as values. I need to convert this to a new hash that inverts this relationship with each item from the array of strings in the original hash values becoming a key in the new hash and each original key becoming the associated value. For example:
original = {1 => ['a', 'b', 'c'], 2 => ['g', 'm', 'z']}
new_hash = {'a' => 1, 'b' => 1, 'c' => 1, 'g' => 2, 'm' => 2, 'z' => 2}
I'm struggling to extract the items from the original array values. It's easy enough to do
original.each { |k, v| new_hash[v] = k }
but this keeps the original array as the new key. I've tried doing something like
original.each { |k, v| new_hash[v.each { |i| i }] = k }
but this also returns the original array for some reason.
Another one, via Array#product:
original.flat_map { |k, v| v.product([k]) }.to_h
#=> {"a"=>1, "b"=>1, "c"=>1, "g"=>2, "m"=>2, "z"=>2}
original.flat_map { |k, vs| vs.map { |v| {v => k} } }.reduce(&:merge)
the below snippet will give what you want, but let me think on a more readable and elegant solution.
newhash = {}
original.each do |k,v|
v.each do |v2|
newhash[v2] = k
end
end
#=> {1=>["a", "b", "c"], 2=>["g", "m", "z"]}
newhash
#=> {"a"=>1, "b"=>1, "c"=>1, "g"=>2, "m"=>2, "z"=>2}
Your approach is close. You'll have to iterate each element in the values array when assigning the new key/value pair to the newHash
newHash = {}
original.each { |k, v| v.each {|i| newHash[i] = k}}
original.map { |number, ary| Hash[ary.map { |char| [char, number] }] }.reduce(&:merge)

Creating hash from array adding new keys

I have an array looking like this:
data =[[01, 777], [02, 888]]
Now I want to create a hash from it like below:
n_clip = [{"name"=>"01", "rep"=>"777"},{"name"=>"02", rep=>"888"}]
I tried to do this in that way:
n_clip = []
data.each do |a|
n_clip << Array[Hash[a.map {|| ["name", a.first]}], Hash[a.map {|| ["rep", a.last]}]]
end
but it doesn't work because I get:
n_clip = [[{"name"=>"01"},{"rep"="777"}], [{"name"=>"01"},{"rep"="777"}]]
and definitively it isn't what I expected.
data.map { |arr| { 'name' => arr[0], 'rep' => arr[1] } }
i would rather use symbols as hash keys
data.map { |arr| { name: arr[0], rep: arr[1] } }
If you wish to create an array of two hashes, each having the same two keys, the other answers are fine. The following handles the case where there are an arbitrary number of keys and data may contain an arbitrary number of elements.
def hashify(keys, arr_of_vals)
[keys].product(arr_of_vals).map { |ak,av| Hash[ak.zip(av)] }
end
keys = %w| name rep |
#=> ["name", "rep"]
arr_of_vals = [["01", "777"], ["02", "888"]]
hashify(keys, arr_of_vals)
#=> [{"name"=>"01", "rep"=>"777"}, {"name"=>"02", "rep"=>"888"}]
In your problem arr_of_vals must first be derived from [[1, 777], [02, 888]], but that is a secondary (rather mundane) problem that I will not address.
Another example:
keys = %w| name rep group |
#=> ["name", "rep", "group"]
arr_of_vals = [[1, 777, 51], [2, 888, 52], [1, 2, 53], [3, 4, 54]]
hashify(keys, arr_of_vals)
#=> [{"name"=>1, "rep"=>777, "group"=>51}, {"name"=>2, "rep"=>888, "group"=>52},
# {"name"=>1, "rep"=>2, "group"=>53}, {"name"=>3, "rep"=>4, "group"=>54}]
data.map { |name, rep| { 'name' => name.to_s, 'rep' => rep.to_s } }

intersection of a ruby array and the keys of a hash

Is it possible to get the intersection of an array and just the keys of a hash?
I know that the & operator returns the intersection of two arrays, but I'd like to use the values instead of the value + key combination.
Let's say, I have an array and a hash :
a1 = [ 'test1', 'test2', 'test3' ]
a2 = { 'test3' => 'value3', 'test4'=>'value4', 'test5'=>'value5' }
is there a way to return value3 from these?
given
arr = ['value1', 'value2', 'value3']
hsh = {:key1 => 'value3', :key2=>'value4', :key3=>'value5'}
you can convert hsh to an array of values with the .values method and use the & operator to compare the hash values with an array.
arr & hsh.values
=> ["value3"]
This is probably the most intuitive way I can think of to do what you're asking:
a1 = [ 'test1', 'test2', 'test3' ]
a2 = { 'test3' => 'value3', 'test4'=>'value4', 'test5'=>'value5' }
(a1 & a2.keys).map { |e| a2[e] }
#=> ["value3"]
That is you want the intersection of a1 and the keys from a2. You can then use map to perform the lookup on each key found in the intersection to return the value.
a1.reduce(nil) {|r, k| r || a2[k]} should do what you're asking.
