Removing “duplicate objects” with same attributes using Array.map
- by keruilin
As you can see in the current code below, I am finding the duplicate based on the attribute recordable_id. What I need to do is find the duplicate based on four matching attributes: user_id, recordable_type, hero_type, recordable_id. How must I modify the code?
heroes = User.heroes
for hero in heroes
hero_statuses = hero.hero_statuses
seen = []
hero_statuses.sort! {|a,b| a.created_at <=> b.created_at } # sort by created_at
hero_statuses.each do |hero_status|
if seen.map(&:recordable_id).include? hero_status.recordable_id # check if the id has been seen already
hero_status.revoke
else
seen << hero_status # if not, add it to the seen array
end
end
end
