Issue #10208 has been updated by Shyouhei Urabe.

Status changed from Open to Feedback

FYI if there are people who need this functionality: so far we have not found an appropriately sounding name of this method.  It should be a method of Enumerable (not only Hash), that takes a block, and returns a Hash.

----------------------------------------
Feature #10208: Passing block to Enumerable#to_h
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10208#change-61909

* Author: Yutaka HARA
* Status: Feedback
* Priority: Normal

----------------------------------------
Now that we can convert 'a list of [key, value] pairs' into a hash with Enumerable#to_h,
how about make it take a block to specify 'how to convert each element into a [key, value] pair'? 

Example:

~~~
# Convert users into an {id => name} hash
users.map{|u| [u.id, u.name]}.to_h
    вн
# Convert users into an {id => name} hash
users.to_h{|u| [u.id, u.name]}
~~~

This could also be a solution for these feature requests:

* Feature #6669 A method like Hash#map but returns hash

        hsh.apply{|k, v| [k.to_s, v]}
        == hsh.to_h{|k, v| [k.to_s, v]}

* Feature #7793 New methods on Hash
  Feature #9970 Add `Hash#map_keys` and `Hash#map_values`

        hsh.map_k(&:to_s)
        == hsh.to_h{|k, v| [k.to_s, v]}
        hsh.map_v(&:to_i)
        == hsh.to_h{|k, v| [k, v.to_i]}
        hsh.map_kv(&block)
        == hsh.to_h(&block)
