How to append the two hashes in ruby on rails

Rails
1

Hi All,
I need to add the hashes is there any way to add

actually my data is in the given format
data = [ {“first” => 1 ,“second” => 2},
{“first” => 2 ,“second” => 3},
{“first” => 3 ,“second” => 4} ]

I want to acheive it through the loop So, I took 2 hashes as

result = Hash.new
data = Hash.new

for k in 1…4 do
data = {“first”=>k , “second”=>k+1}
result = result,data
end

in the above the result variable

result = [[[[{}, [{“first”=>1, “second”=>2}]], [{“first”=>2,
“second”=>3}]], [{“first”=>3, “second”=>4}]], [{“first”=>4,
“second”=>5}]]

But my Output should be as
result = [{“first”=>1, “second”=>2}, {“first”=>2, “second”=>3},
{“first”=>3, “second”=>4}, {“first”=>4, “second”=>5}]

I tried with the merge,update but those are updating or the changing
the existing the feilds… the not appending

How can I achieve the output if any help you can save my day…
Thanks

Perhaps like this :

data = []
for k in 1…4 do
data[k-1] = {“first”=>k , “second”=>k+1}
end

(1…4).inject([]){|result,i| result << {“first” => i, “second” => i+1}}

Hema, to be honest, I’m not really sure what exactly you want to
achieve, but maybe you can try this:

result = Array.new

for k in 1…4 do
result << {“first” => k , “second”=> k + 1}
end

The result is:

[{“second”=>2, “first”=>1}, {“second”=>3, “first”=>2}, {“second”=>4,
“first”=>3}, {“second”=>5, “first”=>4}]

As far as I know there is no easy way to sort the elements of the
inner hashes, but that shouldn’t raise any problem.

Let me know it this works for you.

Hi ,

I need to acheive the result to be as

result = [{“first”=>1, “second”=>2}, {“first”=>2, “second”=>3},
{“first”=>3, “second”=>4}, {“first”=>4, “second”=>5}]

since this hash is the PDF::SimpleTable.data format

the table data accepts the hash values with the keys as columns and
the values as the table rows
In this case i have to create the report from the database records I
have the Array of employee objects with the fields
I need to put them in table format so that first I have to make the
column names as the table column headings and then need to form a row
of values

For example my ‘employees’ contains the employee object
then, each object has to become one value in the hash

data = Hash.new
result = Hash.new
for employees.each do |record|

data = {“Sno” =>
record.sno, Here
i have one record
“UserName” => record.username,
“designation” => record.designation,
“salary” => record.salary }

result = data,result

end

I want result should be in the following format
result = [{“Sno” => 1,“UserName” => “ppp”,“designation” =>
“se”,“salary” => 10000},{“Sno” => 2,“UserName” => “xxx”,“designation”
=> “se”,“salary” => 10000},{“Sno” => 3,“UserName” =>
“yyy”,“designation” => “se”,“salary” => 10000},{“Sno” => 4,“UserName”
=> “zzz”,“designation” => “se”,“salary” => 10000}]

then I could replace the table data

table.data.replace result
table.render_on(pdf)

But I am not getting the required format? How to achieve that?

Think in terms of the domain. What you need is an array of hashes.
Each hash is a representation of your domain object (employee record)

employees.collect {|employee| employee.attributes}

Thats it.

If there are any particular attributes that you don’t want, e.g.
created_at, then use something like

employees.collect {|employee| employee.attributes.except(:created_at)}

Means I can get the hashes as
Result = Hash.new
Result = employees.collect {|employee| employee.attributes}
then the result contails the array of hashes?

That’s great it worked fine
But I have another problem,

please check the code

Fields = Array.new
Fields [0] = “sno”
Fields [1] = “username”
Fields [2] = “designation”
Fields [3] = “salary”
Fields [4] = “dob”
Fields [5] = “email”
Fields [6] = “doj”

These are the fields of the object ‘Employee’

The Employees array contains of the set of employee objects…

I need to have the array of hashes as [{employee_record1},
{employee_record2}… n records]

For this i tried as the…

result = []

for employee in Employees
res = {}
for field in fields
res << { field => employee.send(field)}
end
result << res
end

But it is not working… Please Help me Thank You
