Is there a way to merge a list of dicts into a single dict using glom library?

Question

I'm using glom project.

Is there a way to convert [{"id": 1, "name": "foo"}, {"id": 2, "name": "bar"}] to {1: "foo", 2: "bar"}?

Answer 1

New glom version (19.2.0) allows to use Merge to merge two dicts.

from glom import glom, T, Merge

target = [{"id": 1, "name": "foo"}, {"id": 2, "name": "bar"}]
spec = Merge([{T["id"]: T["name"]}])

glom(target, spec)
# {1: 'foo', 2: 'bar'}
