RawToA

raw_to_a implements a method on ActiveRecord to return an array of hashes directly from a query instead of ActiveRecord objects.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'raw_to_a'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install raw_to_a

Similar to to_a, you can call raw_to_a on any ActiveRecord/ActiveRelation query, but instead of an array of ActiveRecord objects, you get an array of hashes.

  > User.where(active: true).raw_to_a
  => [{username: 'user1', active: true, password_crypted: '...'}, ...]

  > User.select(:username).raw_to_a
  => [{username: 'user1'}, {username: 'user2'}, ...]
