Histomatic

Quick n' dirty histograms for Rails.

Currently in development, and only supports the mysql2 driver.

Generate a histogram providing an input source, which is either an ActiveRecord class or instance of ActiveRelation, a column as a string, and groupings.

Currently the column must return a numeric.

Provide a class:

Histomatic.generate(
  Purchase, 
  'amount', 
  [0, 10, 20]
).to_hash # { 0 => 2, 10 => 0, 20 => 0 }

Provide an ActiveRelation:

Histomatic.generate(
  Purchase.where(:name => 'Chris'), 
  'amount', 
  [0, 10, 20]
).to_hash # { 0 => 1, 10 => 0, 20 => 0 }

Provide a transformation as the column:

Histomatic.generate(
  Purchase.where(:name => 'Chris'), 
  'datediff(current_date, purchases.created_at)', 
  [0, 10, 20]
).to_hash # { 0 => 0, 10 => 1, 20 => 0 }
