# File 'lib/pluto.rb', line 111 def chunks( number_of_chunks ) ## NB: use chunks - columns might be in use by ActiveRecord! ### # e.g. # [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10].columns(3) # becomes: # [[1,4,7,10], # [2,5,8], # [3,6,9]] ## check/todo: make a copy of the array first?? # for now reference to original items get added to columns chunks = (1..number_of_chunks).collect { [] } each_with_index do |item,index| chunks[ index % number_of_chunks ] << item end chunks end |
#in_columns(cols) ⇒ Object
todo: check if there’s already a builtin method for this
note:
in rails ary.in_groups(3) results in
top-to-bottom, left-to-right.
and not left-to-right first and than top-to-bottom.
rename to in_groups_vertical(3) ???
