How to merge array of hash based on the same keys in ruby?
example :
a = [{:a=>1},{:a=>10},{:b=>8},{:c=>7},{:c=>2}]
How to get result like this?
a = [{:a=>[1, 10]},{:b=>8},{:c=>[7, 2]}]

We can merge two hashes using the merge() method. When using the merge() method: Each new entry is added to the end. Each duplicate-key entry's value overwrites the previous value.
Hash#merge!() is a Hash class method which can add the content the given hash array to the other. Entries with duplicate keys are overwritten with the values from each other_hash successively if no block is given.
You are allowed to create an array of hashes either by simply initializing array with hashes or by using array. push() to push hashes inside the array. Note: Both “Key” and :Key acts as a key in a hash in ruby.
Ruby | Array assoc() function The assoc() function in Ruby is used to search through an array of arrays whose first element is compared with the index of the function and return the contained array if match found otherwise return either nil or vacant.
Try
a.flat_map(&:entries)
.group_by(&:first)
.map{|k,v| Hash[k, v.map(&:last)]}
Another alternative:
a = [{:a=>1},{:a=>10},{:b=>8},{:c=>7},{:c=>2}]
p a.each_with_object({}) { |h, o| h.each { |k,v| (o[k] ||= []) << v } }
# => {:a=>[1, 10], :b=>[8], :c=>[7, 2]}
It also works when the Hashes have multiple key/value combinations, e.g:
b = [{:a=>1, :b=>5, :x=>10},{:a=>10, :y=>2},{:b=>8},{:c=>7},{:c=>2}]
p b.each_with_object({}) { |h, o| h.each { |k,v| (o[k] ||= []) << v } }
# => {:a=>[1, 10], :b=>[5, 8], :x=>[10], :y=>[2], :c=>[7, 2]}
