Group Hash by values in ruby

Question

I have a hash in ruby which looks something like this:

{
  \"admin_milestones\"=>\"1\",
  \"users_milestones\"=>\"0\",
  \"admin_goals\"=>\"1\",
  \         


        

Answer 1

You can group hash by its value:

h1 = {
  "admin_milestones"=>"1",
  "users_milestones"=>"0",
  "admin_goals"=>"1",
  "users_goals"=>"0", 
  "admin_tasks"=>"1", 
  "users_tasks"=>"0",
  "admin_messages"=>"1",
  "users_messages"=>"0",
  "admin_meetings"=>"1",
  "users_meetings"=>"0"
}

h2 = h1.group_by{|k,v| v}

It will produce a hash grouped by its values like this:

h2 = {"1"=>[["admin_milestones", "1"], ["admin_goals", "1"], ["admin_tasks", "1"], ["admin_messages", "1"], ["admin_meetings", "1"]], 
"0"=>[["users_milestones", "0"], ["users_goals", "0"], ["users_tasks", "0"], ["users_messages", "0"], ["users_meetings", "0"]]}
