PluckAll
Pluck multiple columns/attributes in Rails 3, 4, 5, 6, and can return data as hash instead of only array. Also supports Mongoid
.
This Gem stands on the shoulders of this article: Plucking Multiple Columns in Rails 3. And modified to support not only Rail 3.
If you have a Rails 3 project, and want to pluck not only one column, feel free to use this gem and no need to worry about upgrading to Rails 4, 5, 6 in the future will break this.
Supports
- Ruby 2.2 ~ 2.7, 3.0 ~ 3.1
- Rails 3.2, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'pluck_all'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install pluck_all
Usage
pluck to array
Behaves the same as #pluck
method, but you can use it to pluck multiple columns in Rails 3
User.where('id < 3').pluck_array(:id, :account)
# => [[1, 'account1'], [2, 'account2']]
pluck to hash
Similar to #pluck
method, but return array of hashes instead.
User.where('id < 3').pluck_all(:id, :account)
# => [{"id"=>1, "account"=>"account1"}, {"id"=>2, "account"=>"account2"}]
User.where('id < 3').pluck_all(:id, 'account AS name')
# => [{"id"=>1, "name"=>"account1"}, {"id"=>2, "name"=>"account2"}]
User.where('id < 3').pluck_all('id, account AS name')
# => [{"id"=>1, "name"=>"account1"}, {"id"=>2, "name"=>"account2"}]
Support Mongoid
class User
include Mongoid::Document
field :name, type: String
field :age, type: Integer
end
User.pluck_all(:name, :age)
# => [
# {'name' => 'Pearl Shi' , 'age' => 18},
# {'name' => 'Rumble Huang', 'age' => 20},
# {'name' => 'Khiav Reoy' , 'age' => 20},
# ]
Benchmark
map
and as_json
Compare with pluck_all
return raw hash
data without loading a bunch of records, in that having better performace than using map
and as_json
. The following is the benchmark test on 191,093 users, where users
table have 51 columns.
user system total real
map 36.110000 61.200000 97.310000 ( 99.535375)

pluck_to_hash gem
Compare withpluck_all
has better performace since it uses raw hash
data from ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all
, while pluck_to_hash
uses pluck
method, which calls ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all
and transfers the raw hash
data to array
format, and then transfer the data to hash
format again. The following benchmark shows the performance difference:
user system total real
pluck_to_hash 2.960000 0.130000 3.090000 ( 3.421640)
pluck_all 2.160000 0.120000 2.280000 ( 2.605118)

Other Support
Support globalize gem
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
translates :title
end
I18n.locale = :en
Post.pluck_all(:title)
# => [{ 'title' => 'english' }, { 'title' => 'english' }, ...]
I18n.locale = :'zh-TW'
Post.pluck_all(:title)
# => [{ 'title' => '中文' }, { 'title' => '中文' }, ...]
Support Pluck Carrierwave Uploader (if you use carrierwave)
User.where(xxx).pluck_all(:profile_pic).map{|s| s['profile_pic'] }
is the same as
User.where(xxx).map(&:profile_pic)
If the uploader use something like: model.id
, model.name
You may have to send these columns manually:
User.where(xxx).cast_need_columns(%i[id name]).pluck_all(:id, :name, :profile_pic).map{|s| s['profile_pic'] }
