Rails Console Delete Multiple
One-liner

Rails Ruby
Today in Rails I wanted to find out if there was a one-liner that would delete multiple items by id in the Rails console. Turns out there is:
User.where(id: [1,2,3]).each(&:destroy)The &: is apparently Ruby shorthand for passing a method as a block and the above expands to:
User.find([1,2,3]).each { |record| record.destroy }
