Merge hashes in array [ruby]

Question

I have array of hashes

[{:id=>2, :price_psm=>450, :rooms_count=>3, :sq=>50, :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title1"},
 {:id=>2, :price_psm=>499, :rooms_count=>3, :sq=>40, :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title1"}, 
 {:id=>2, :price_psm=>499, :rooms_count=>3, :sq=>41, :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title1"}, 
 {:id=>1, :price_psm=>450, :rooms_count=>2, :sq=>20, :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title2"}] 

how i can merge identical hashes and create something like this:

[{:id=>2, :price_psm=>[450,499,499], :rooms_count=>3, :sq=>[50,40,41], :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title1"}, 
 {:id=>1,  :price_psm=>450, :rooms_count=>2, :sq=>20, :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title2"}] 

Answer 1

Something like:

require 'pp'

INPUT = [{:id=>2, :price_psm=>450, :rooms_count=>3, :sq=>50, :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title1"},
        {:id=>2, :price_psm=>499, :rooms_count=>3, :sq=>40, :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title1"}, 
        {:id=>2, :price_psm=>499, :rooms_count=>3, :sq=>41, :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title1"}, 
        {:id=>1, :price_psm=>450, :rooms_count=>2, :sq=>20, :tax_inc=>"t", :title=>"title2"}] 



RES = INPUT.group_by {|row| row[:id] }.collect do |k,v|
  keys = v.collect {|rec| rec.keys}.flatten.uniq
  group = {}
  keys.each do |key|
    vals = v.collect { |rec| rec[key] }.uniq.compact
    group[key] = vals.size > 1 ? vals : vals.first
  end
  group
end

pp RES

Answer 2

Another functional approach (shorter)

hashes.reduce do |a, b|
  a.merge(b) { |k, v1, v2| v1 == v2 ? v1 : [v1, v2].flatten }
end

#reduce mashes everything down to a single value, #merge merges Hash objects together, and can resolve merge conflicts with the block you provide.

EDIT | Whoops, sorry, misread the desired output. This one does that:

hashes.group_by { |hash| hash[:id] }.map do |id, hashes|
  hashes.reduce do |a, b|
    a.merge(b) { |key, v1, v2| v1 == v2 ? v1 : [v1, v2].flatten }
  end
end
