Say I have a get request :
def get (var)
uri = URI('url')
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)
parse = JSON.parse(res[:body])
{parse['color'] => parse ['id']}
The get requests takes a variables and returns a hash. I know in my slim file doing something like
get(var)['red']
would give me the corresponding value to the key 'red'. However what if I wanted to access the key/values of the hash by their names. So something like
get(var)['color']
Would something like that be possible? Say the response of the request was {'red' => 3} Can I access the key 'red' by calling 'color' like in the above code. I realise the syntax of the above code is most likely incorrect.
CodePudding user response:
The returned value of get is only a single element hash like {'red' => 3}
If you want to get the key and the value without accessing the entry using
get(var)['red']
=> 3
you could do the following:
get(var).keys.first
=> 'red'
get(var).values.first
=> 3
or you could take the return value and map it into a new hash:
new_hash = {"color" => get(var).keys.first, "id" =>get(var).values.first}
then access like this:
new_hash["color"]
=> red
new_hash["id"]
=> 3
