From this,
{
“students”: [
{
“name”: “test1”,
"id": 1,
"created_at": "2019-03-13T21:34:30Z",
"updated_at": "2019-03-13T21:34:30Z",
“title”: "My test ticket2",
"description": “My test description!”
}
],
"count": 1
}
How can I get the value of id, description and count? I did:
JSON.parse(response)
but I am not sure how to get the value.
You need to parse twice, if you just parse once you will get the error:
TypeError: no implicit conversion of Hash into String
you should do like that:
parsed_response = JSON.parse(response.to_json)
Then you can get the values as you need:
parsed_response['students'][0]['id']
You can also use the dig method if your ruby version is higher than 2.3:
parsed_response.dig('students', 0, 'id')
=> 1
JSON.parse returns hash.
Fetching information about student:
parsed_response = JSON.parse(response)
parsed_response['students'].first['id']
parsed_response['students'].first['name']
parsed_response['students'].first['description']
If you have more than one values, iterate over them with each.
Fetching count:
parsed_response = JSON.parse(response)
parsed_response['count']
Instead of [] you can use fetch (parsed_response.fetch('students')). Please keep in mind, that fetch raises an error when the key is missing.
