My model called Customer contains a method called generate_fields which creates records based on its return values.



def generate_fields
words.map do |word|
numbers.map do |number|
content = find_content(word, number)
next if content.nil?


kind: word,
value: content

end.compact
end.flatten
end

#[
# kind: "S", value: "BRL" ,
# kind: "M", value: "AUS" ,
# kind: "L", value: "PER" ,
#]


The methods words and numbers are private and return an array of strings. Their implementation is not relevant to this discussion. generate_fields returns an array of hashes which is used to create multiple customers at the database.



Customer.create(generate_fields)


The problem is compact and flatten create a new array for every time they are called as pointed out by @David Aldridge. How can this function be rewritten to avoid excessive array creation? Thanks in advance.

I'm not a fan of the latter because the compact and flatten methods create new arrays.



Here's another variation with two additional style options: use of product to combine the two arrays, and each_with_object:



def generate_fields_3
words = ["foo", "bar", "bla"]
numbers = [1, 2, 3]

words.product(numbers).each_with_object([]) do |(word, number), fields|
content = find_content(word, number)
next if content.nil?

fields <<
kind: word,
value: content

end
end
