How pass yield in method as param

Question

I have method:

def return_dto_object(id)
    Comment.where(product_id: id)
end

And i wanna pass block and put it instead of product_id For Example:

def return_dto_object(id)
    Comment.where(yield: id)
end

=> return_dto_object(1) { product_id }
=> return_dto_object(1) { id }

I just wanna change the column that the records will search for. This possible, that i want?

Answer 1

where is able to receive a hash as an argument, so, whenever you do:

Comment.where(product_id: id)

It's equivalent to:

Comment.where({ product_id: id })

You can create a hash with "dynamic" keys the way:

{ key => value }

So, passing product_id, it'd be:

attribute = :product_id
{ attribute => 1 } # {:product_id=>1}

Which is the valid syntax for invoking where:

def return_dto_object(attribute, id)
  Comment.where(attribute => id)
end

If it's confusing, you can first create the hash, and pass it to where.
