split multi-dimensional array in ruby - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am trying to parse json data in ruby my desired output is:
var events = { '01-01-2018' :
[ {content: 'Psalm 2', allDay: true},
{content: 'by ToddWagner', allDay: true}
],
'01-02-2018' :
[ {content: 'Psalm 2', allDay: true},
{content: 'by ToddWagner', allDay: true}
]
}
what I get is
var events = [
{"2017-11-03":
[ {"content":"Romans 14:5-12","allDay":true},
{"content":"by Micah Leiss","allDay":true}
]
},
{"2017-11-06":
[{"content":"Romans 14:13","allDay":true},
{"content":"by Sarah Thomas","allDay":true}
]
}
]
I tried something like
data = []
raw_data['entries'].each do |entry|
data << {entry_date => [
{
"content" => entry.title,
"allDay" => true,
},
{
"content" => entry.writer,
"allDay" => true,
},
]
}
end
data.to_json
but I didn't get desired results, I have also tried data.pop data.shift.

Answer 1

Ruby implementation would look like:
data = raw_data['entries'].map do |entry|
[entry.date, [entry.title, entry.writer].map do |content|
{content: content, allDay: true}
end]
end.to_h

Answer 2

First of all, are adding fields to your array data, as I can see from your desired output, you need a hash.
You have to create the hash, not the array:
data = {}
and then in your loop
raw_data['entries'].each do |entry|
add it like that
data[entry_date] = [
{
"content" => entry.title,
"allDay" => true,
},
{
"content" => entry.writer,
"allDay" => true,
},
]
(I am not where do you declare entry_date in your example so it might be entry.date)
I can't tell from your example if entry date is unique or not(and I think it's not) make sure you add to hash, because you might overwrite it.
You can do something like this if entry date isn't unique
data[entry.date] ||= []
data[entry.date] << {hash_you_need}
