Rails 5.2 is no longer maintained since 2022-06-01. So, this gem is no longer maintained as well.

Backport of ActiveRecord::Relation#pick for Rails 5 and 4.2 applications. rails/rails#31941

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'activerecord-pick'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install activerecord-pick

Account.order(:id).pick(:email) #=> "account@example.com"
Account.order(:id).pick(:email, :name) #=> ["account@example.com", "Account Name"]

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/yujideveloper/activerecord-pick.
