excluding(*elements)

Returns a copy of the enumerable excluding the specified elements.

["David", "Rafael", "Aaron", "Todd"].excluding "Aaron", "Todd"
# => ["David", "Rafael"]

["David", "Rafael", "Aaron", "Todd"].excluding %w[ Aaron Todd ]
# => ["David", "Rafael"]

{foo: 1, bar: 2, baz: 3}.excluding :bar
# => {foo: 1, baz: 3}

    elements.flatten!(1)
    reject { |element| elements.include?(element) }
  end

including(*elements)

Returns a new array that includes the passed elements.

[ 1, 2, 3 ].including(4, 5)
# => [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

["David", "Rafael"].including %w[ Aaron Todd ]
# => ["David", "Rafael", "Aaron", "Todd"]

index_by()

Convert an enumerable to a hash keying it by the block return value.

people.index_by(&:login)
# => { "nextangle" => <Person ...>, "chade-" => <Person ...>, ...}

people.index_by { |person| "#{person.first_name} #{person.last_name}" }
# => { "Chade- Fowlersburg-e" => <Person ...>, "David Heinemeier Hansson" => <Person ...>, ...}

    if block_given?
      result = {}
      each { |elem| result[yield(elem)] = elem }
      result
    else
      to_enum(:index_by) { size if respond_to?(:size) }
    end
  end

index_with(default = INDEX_WITH_DEFAULT)

Convert an enumerable to a hash keying it with the enumerable items and with the values returned in the block.

post = Post.new(title: "hey there", body: "what's up?")

%i( title body ).index_with { |attr_name| post.public_send(attr_name) }
# => { title: "hey there", body: "what's up?" }
📝 Source code 
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/enumerable.rb, line 70
  def index_with(default = INDEX_WITH_DEFAULT)
    if block_given?
      result = {}
      each { |elem| result[elem] = yield(elem) }
      result
    elsif default != INDEX_WITH_DEFAULT
      result = {}
      each { |elem| result[elem] = default }
      result
    else
      to_enum(:index_with) { size if respond_to?(:size) }
    end
  end

many?()

Returns true if the enumerable has more than 1 element. Functionally equivalent to enum.to_a.size > 1. Can be called with a block too, much like any?, so people.many? { |p| p.age > 26 } returns true if more than one person is over 26.

📝 Source code 
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/enumerable.rb, line 88
  def many?
    cnt = 0
    if block_given?
      any? do |element|
        cnt += 1 if yield element
        cnt > 1
      end
    else
      any? { (cnt += 1) > 1 }
    end
  end

pluck(*keys)

Convert an enumerable to an array based on the given key.

[{ name: "David" }, { name: "Rafael" }, { name: "Aaron" }].pluck(:name)
# => ["David", "Rafael", "Aaron"]

[{ id: 1, name: "David" }, { id: 2, name: "Rafael" }].pluck(:id, :name)
# => [[1, "David"], [2, "Rafael"]]
📝 Source code 
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/enumerable.rb, line 144
  def pluck(*keys)
    if keys.many?
      map { |element| keys.map { |key| element[key] } }
    else
      map { |element| element[keys.first] }
    end
  end

sum(identity = nil, &block)

Calculates a sum from the elements.

payments.sum { |p| p.price * p.tax_rate }
payments.sum(&:price)

The latter is a shortcut for:

payments.inject(0) { |sum, p| sum + p.price }

It can also calculate the sum without the use of a block.

[5, 15, 10].sum # => 30
['foo', 'bar'].sum # => "foobar"
[[1, 2], [3, 1, 5]].sum # => [1, 2, 3, 1, 5]

The default sum of an empty list is zero. You can override this default:

[].sum(Payment.new(0)) { |i| i.amount } # => Payment.new(0)
📝 Source code 
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/enumerable.rb, line 37
  def sum(identity = nil, &block)
    if identity
      _original_sum_with_required_identity(identity, &block)
    elsif block_given?
      map(&block).sum(identity)
    else
      inject(:+) || 0
    end
