I have a hash object from an ActiveRecord. I'm going to be calling to_json
on it, but I am looking to reduce the depth of the object that is being returned. Here is what my find looks like:
@tags = Tag.find_all_by_type("some_type", :select => :name)
The result of @tags.to_json
looks like this:
[{"tag": {"name": "some tag name"}},
{"tag": {"name": "another tag name"}},
{"tag": {"name": "etc..."}}]
However, I want the result to look like this since I don't need each object wrapped in a tag
object:
[{"name": "some tag name"}, {"name": "another tag name"}, {"name": "etc..."}]
Is there a way I can do this through a map
, collect
, or similar call?
