ruby on rails - Is there a good pattern for combining ActiveRecord results with API data? -

-

what best way combine 2 data sets different locations?

i have 1 set of data activerecord merge/combine data set api. both data sets have unique id common between them merge based on id , avoid duplicate results.

since unifying these data display purposes, it's better use helper arrange data structure view needs it.

controller:

@model_records = armodel.find_my_scope @api_records = apigem.gather_users

helper:

def all_users   ar_prop_filter = [:username, :first_name, :last_name, :current_project]   api_prop_filter = ['ranking', 'postcount', 'username', 'first_name', 'last_name']    # reduce hashes   model_set = @model_records.map{|rec| ar_prop_filter.inject({}){|acc, f| acc[f] = rec.send(f)} }    api_set = @api_records.map{|rec| api_prop_filter.inject({}){|acc, f| acc[f.to_sym] = rec[f]} }    # add api data ar data, using ar key   model_set.map! |m_rec|     api_set[m_rec[:username]].each |k, v|       m_rec[k] = v     end   end    # add api data not represented in ar data   model_set += api_set.reject{|k, v| model_set.keys.include? k}    return model_set end

this method has inefficiencies, , assumes different data between sources, leading gaps wold need anneal or validate views

remember think of best-practices mvc models - otherwise begs question why it.

this principally problem because active record object not simple hash. instantiation of class, , merging data lead unexpected results. if use library access , api, library may instantiate objects – lead similar problems.

if have case demands doing things described, best represent cast each of api , active record objects hashes, , .merge them together. remember have key space collisions when doing this, , lose data.

remember when converting hashes have no simple nor performant way read save data active record or api source.

cheers

Issues changing the value of an element in an array in matlab -

i'm trying create program sum n-1 , n-2 numbers create n , store value in array. currently, output (assuming numdisp > 2 ) num1 , num2 , 0 , 0 , 0 ... size of array correct, i'm having issues reassigning elements. num1 = input('input first integer of fibonacci sequence: '); num2 = input('input second integer of fibonacci sequence: '); numsdisp = input('how many integers display? --> '); list = zeros(numsdisp,1); list(1) = num1; list(2) = num2; if (numsdisp <=0) disp('value must integer greater zero.') elseif (numsdisp == 1) disp(num1) elseif (numsdisp == 2) disp(num1) disp(num2) else disp(num1) disp(num2) index = 3:numsdisp disp(list(index)) list(index) = list((index-1)) + list((index-2)); end end example input: 3 3 4 corresponding output: 3 3 0 0 you aren't printing out final result, intermediate steps. in for loop, printing list(index) updating value, rather updat...

php - MySQLi binding parameters in a prepared statement doesn't work unless inserted after "WHERE" -

-
i have php code pulls info database. uses prepared statement, works fine written below: <?php $n = '5'; if ($stmt = $connection->prepare("select title items id = ?")) { $stmt->bind_param("s", $n); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->bind_result($title); while ($stmt->fetch()) { echo $title; } $stmt->close(); } ?> and let's echo "batman". however, when move placeholder here: "select ? items id = 5" and change: $n = 'title'; instead of echoing "batman", echoes "title". not possible use placeholder select parameter? what have done this: select "title" items id = 5 you cant use prepared statement bindings identifiers, parameters.
