Allow you to pluck deeply into nested associations without loading a bunch of records.

## Supports
- Ruby 2.3 ~ 2.7, 3.0 ~ 3.2
- Rails 3.2, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'deep_pluck'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install deep_pluck

## Usage

### Similar to #pluck method

```rb
User.deep_pluck(:id, :name)
# SELECT `users`.`id`, `users`.`name` FROM `users`
# =>
# [
# {'id' => 1, 'name' => 'David'},
# {'id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jeremy'},
# ]
```

### Pluck attributes from nested associations

```rb
User.deep_pluck(:name, 'posts' => :title)
# SELECT `users`.`id`, `users`.`name` FROM `users`
# SELECT `posts`.`user_id`, `posts`.`title` FROM `posts` WHERE `posts`.`user_id` IN (1, 2)
# =>
# [
# {
# 'name' => 'David' ,
# 'posts' => [
# {'title' => 'post1'},
# {'title' => 'post2'},
# ],
# },
# {
# 'name' => 'Jeremy',
# 'posts' => [
# {'title' => 'post3'},
# ],
# },
# ]
```

### Pluck at models

```rb
user = User.find_by(name: 'David')
user.deep_pluck(:name, :posts => :title)
# =>
# {
# 'name' => 'David' ,
# :posts => [
# {'title' => 'post1'},
# {'title' => 'post2'},
# ],
# }
```

### Compare with using `#as_json`

Assume the following relations:

> User has_many Posts.

> Post has_many PostComments.

> User has_one Contact.

And the following #as_json example:
```rb
User.where(:name => %w(Pearl Doggy)).includes([{:posts => :post_comments}, :contact]).as_json({
:root => false,
:only => [:name, :email],
:include => {
'posts' => {
:only => :name,
:include => {
'post_comments' => {
:only => :comment,
},
},
},
'contact' => {
:only => :address,
},
},
})

```
It works as expected, but is not very DRY, repeat writing `include`, `posts`, `post_comments` so many times.

Not to mention the huge performace improvement by using #deep_pluck.

You could refactor the example with #deep_pluck:
```rb
User.where(:name => %w(Pearl Doggy)).deep_pluck(
:name,
:email,
'posts' => [:name, 'post_comments' => :comment],
'contact' => :address,
)
```

### Better Performance

#deep_pluck return raw hash data without loading a bunch of records, so that faster than #as_json, or #select.

The following is the benchmark test on 3 users, 6 posts, where `users` table have 14 columns and `posts` have 6 columns. As it shows, `deep_pluck` is 4x faster than `as_json`.

```rb
# Repeat 500 times
# User.includes(:posts).as_json(:only => :email, :include => {:posts => {:only => :title}})
# User.deep_pluck(:email, {'posts' => :title})

user system total real
as_json 1.740000 1.230000 2.970000 ( 3.231465)
deep_pluck 0.660000 0.030000 0.690000 ( 0.880018)
```

The following is the benchmark test on 10000 users, where `users` table have 46 columns. As it shows, `deep_pluck` is 40x faster than `as_json` and 4x faster than `map`.
```rb
# Repeat 1 times
# User.select('account, email').map{|s| {'account' => s.account, 'email' => s.email}}
# User.select('account, email').as_json(:only => [:account, :email])
# User.deep_pluck(:account, :email)

user system total real
map 0.210000 0.000000 0.210000 ( 0.225421)
as_json 1.980000 0.060000 2.040000 ( 2.042205)
deep_pluck 0.040000 0.000000 0.040000 ( 0.051673)
```
