column_finder.md

I've been dealing with large views a lot lately, when looking at individual rows, I find that it dumps to much data on the screen. I found myself using the following pattern a lot.

activity.attributes.slice(*activity.attributes.keys.grep /search_term/

I think it would be cool to instead just go

activity.find_columns(:budget)
activity.find_columns(:budget, :hours)

implementation.rb

module ColumnFinder
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  def find_columns(*search_terms)
    search_terms.map { |search_term|
      attributes.slice(*attributes.keys.grep(/#{search_term}/))
    }.reduce({}, :merge)
  end
end
