# Trek::Keyable

Batch lookup of records by their `key` attribute, preserving the requested order.

## Methods

| Method | Returns |
| --- | --- |
| `Model.take_by_keys(keys)` | the records matching `keys`, **in the same order**, with `nil` for missing keys |

## Usage

```ruby
Page.take_by_keys(%w[services about missing])
# => [#<Page key="services">, #<Page key="about">, nil]
```

Handy for rendering a fixed set of pages or fragments in a specific order in your views.
