Convert Hash Keys to Lowercase -- Ruby Beginner

Convert hash keys to lowercase -- Ruby Beginner

You can use something like this:

CSV.foreach(file, :headers => true) do |row|
  new_hash = {}
  row.to_hash.each_pair do |k,v|
   new_hash.merge!({k.downcase => v}) 
  end

  Users.create!(new_hash)
end

I had no time to test it but, you can take idea of it.

Hope it will help

how to change hash keys in the lower case using ruby

class Hash
  def downcase_key
    keys.each do |k|
      store(k.downcase, Array === (v = delete(k)) ? v.map(&:downcase_key) : v)
    end
    self
  end
end

myHash.downcase_key

Ruby - Downcase on string values in a hash that also contains nil values

Check if the value is a valid string before downcasing

testHash.each { |k, v| v.downcase! if v.is_a?(String) }

Best way to convert strings to symbols in hash

In Ruby >= 2.5 (docs) you can use:

my_hash.transform_keys(&:to_sym)

Using older Ruby version? Here is a one-liner that will copy the hash into a new one with the keys symbolized:

my_hash = my_hash.inject({}){|memo,(k,v)| memo[k.to_sym] = v; memo}

With Rails you can use:

my_hash.symbolize_keys
my_hash.deep_symbolize_keys 

How do I convert a Ruby hash so that all of its keys are symbols?

hash = {"apple" => "banana", "coconut" => "domino"}
Hash[hash.map{ |k, v| [k.to_sym, v] }]
#=> {:apple=>"banana", :coconut=>"domino"}

@mu is too short: Didn't see word "recursive", but if you insist (along with protection against non-existent to_sym, just want to remind that in Ruby 1.8 1.to_sym == nil, so playing with some key types can be misleading):

hash = {"a" => {"b" => "c"}, "d" => "e", Object.new => "g"}

s2s = 
  lambda do |h| 
    Hash === h ? 
      Hash[
        h.map do |k, v| 
          [k.respond_to?(:to_sym) ? k.to_sym : k, s2s[v]] 
        end 
      ] : h 
  end

s2s[hash] #=> {:d=>"e", #<Object:0x100396ee8>=>"g", :a=>{:b=>"c"}}

Converting nested hash keys from CamelCase to snake_case in Ruby

You need to treat Array and Hash separately. And, if you're in Rails, you can use underscore instead of your homebrew to_snake_case. First a little helper to reduce the noise:

def underscore_key(k)
  k.to_s.underscore.to_sym
  # Or, if you're not in Rails:
  # to_snake_case(k.to_s).to_sym
end

If your Hashes will have keys that aren't Symbols or Strings then you can modify underscore_key appropriately.

If you have an Array, then you just want to recursively apply convert_hash_keys to each element of the Array; if you have a Hash, you want to fix the keys with underscore_key and apply convert_hash_keys to each of the values; if you have something else then you want to pass it through untouched:

def convert_hash_keys(value)
  case value
    when Array
      value.map { |v| convert_hash_keys(v) }
      # or `value.map(&method(:convert_hash_keys))`
    when Hash
      Hash[value.map { |k, v| [underscore_key(k), convert_hash_keys(v)] }]
    else
      value
   end
end
