Instance Method Details

#index_by {|obj| ... } ⇒ Hash

Convert enumerable into a Hash, iterating over each element where the provided block must return the key to be used to map to the value.

It's similar to Enumerable#group_by, but when two elements corresponds to the same key, then only the last one is preserved in the resulting Hash.

Examples:

people.index_by(&:login)
=> { "flynn" => <Person @login="flynn">, "bradley" => <Person @login="bradley">, ...}

people.index_by.each(&:login)
=> { "flynn" => <Person @login="flynn">, "bradley" => <Person @login="bradley">, ...}

Yields:

  • (obj) —

    gives each element to the block.

Yield Returns:

  • the key to be used to map to the value.

Returns:
