I have an array, and the elements inside are a mix of 2 models: Article and Profile.
Is there a way to check if there is an Article and/or Profile model inside the array? The functions I saw like include? work for the specific elements and not their class.
Example:
Given [Profile1, Profile2, Article1] I wanted to check if there is an Article or Profile in there. I can only check if there is an element named Profile1.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!
The easiest solution:
you can simply check whether the array contains Profile object using:
array = [Profile1, Profile2, Article1]
array.any?(Profile)
and similarly for Article:
array.any?(Article)
Thanks
You can even use instance_of?
array = [Profile1, Profile2, Article1]
array.any?{ |v| v.instance_of?(Profile) || v.instance_of?(Article) }
If you want count every models, you can do like this:
For Article
array = [Profile1, Profile2, Article1]
array.map{ |v| v.instance_of?(Article) }.count(true)
For Profile
array.map{ |v| v.instance_of?(Profile) }.count(true)
