Rails Mongoid select where key/value pair in array - ruby-on-rails

so I have a collection Groups that looks like this
[
{
\"_id\": \"51bdff3968c7c4dd30000003\",
\"members\": [
{
\"id\": \"51bdedef68c7c4bc7c000001\",
\"role\": \"admin\"
},
{
\"id\": \"51be0d4568c7c473ef000007\",
\"role\": \"user\"
}
],
\"name\": \"tetsing2\"
},
{
\"_id\": \"51bdf97868c7c46604000002\",
\"members\": [
{
\"id\": \"51be12ae68c7c4dcce000001\",
\"role\": \"user\"
},
{
\"id\": \"51be12db68c7c45e08000002\",
\"role\": \"user\"
}
],
\"name\": \"ds\"
}
]"
I just what to get the object that in the members array has an id equal to 51be12db68c7c45e08000002
I can do it in the console mongo client with this command
db.groups.find({ "members.id": ObjectId("51be12db68c7c45e08000002") })
and it gives back just the one appropriate object named 'ds'
However with Mongoid in rails, when I try similar command like this:
#groups = Group.where(' { "members.id": "'+current_user.id+'"}')
I get back both objects.
I've looked through the docs, but does anyone know to how achieve this through Mongoid or can I run a console command through Monogoid or moped or something?
Thank you

Group.where( :"members.id" => current_user.id )

Using data from the first response in the body of the second

I'm trying to combine requests from two services in one endpoint.
The first returns the list of users, like this:
{
"data": [
{ "id": 1, "name": "first", "photo": "employee_photos/key1.png" },
{ "id": 2, "name": "second", "photo": null },
{ "id": 3, "name": "third", "photo": "employee_photos/key3.png" }
]
}
The second is supposed to receive the POST request with the JSON listing photo keys to get the required version URLs.
Request:
{
"keys": [ "employee_photos/key1.png", "employee_photos/key3.png" ],
"versions": [ "small", "large" ]
}
I created a small Lua script to process the response of the first request and collect the list of keys. It looks like this:
function post_employees(request, employeesResponse)
local resp = employeesResponse.load()
local data = resp:data():get("data")
local photo_keys = {}
for i = 0, data:len() - 1, 1 do
local rec = data:get(i)
local id = rec:get("id")
local photo = rec:get("photo")
if photo then
table.insert(photo_keys, photo)
end
end
resp:data():set("photos", table.concat(photo_keys, ","))
end
But then... I can't find a way to use this list of keys in the second request. Is it even possible?

Remove metadata from json results

I'm using ActiveResource to establish a REST connection with rails 4.2 to an ADS Advantage server using the WebPlatform from ADS. It returns json with "__metadata". How can I remove the "__metadata"?
{
"__metadata": {
"uri": "http://.....",
"key_fields": "ID",
"rows_affected": 0,
"last_autoinc": 0
},
In my class I have added self.include_format_in_path = false, to remove the .json from the end of the uri.
Thanks.
you can achieve this in the following steps:
parse the JSON:
parsed_json = JSON.parse('{ "__metadata": { "uri": "http://.....", "key_fields": "ID", "rows_affected": 0, "last_autoinc": 0 }}')
then you will get a hash type and you just need to get the inside of __metadata:
result = parsed_json['__metadata']
then you can just return it or print it:
puts result.to_json
#=> {"uri"=>"http://.....", "key_fields"=>"ID", "rows_affected"=>0, "last_autoinc"=>0}

Search a JSON Response using Ruby

I'm using a Ruby script to interface with an application API and the results being returned are in a JSON format. For example:
{
"incidents": [
{
"number": 1,
"status": "open",
"key": "abc123"
}
{
"number": 2,
"status": "open",
"key": "xyz098"
}
{
"number": 3,
"status": "closed",
"key": "lmn456"
}
]
}
I'm looking to search each block for a particular "key" value (yzx098 in this example) and return the associated "number" value.
Now, I'm very new to Ruby and I'm not sure if there's already a function to help accomplish this. However, a couple days of scouring the Googles and Ruby resource books hasn't yielded anything that works.
Any suggestions?
First of all, the JSON should be as below: (note the commas)
{
"incidents": [
{
"number": 1,
"status": "open",
"key": "abc123"
},
{
"number": 2,
"status": "open",
"key": "xyz098"
},
{
"number": 3,
"status": "closed",
"key": "lmn456"
}
]
}
Strore the above json in a variable
s = '{"incidents": [{"number": 1,"status": "open","key": "abc123"},{"number": 2,"status": "open","key": "xyz098"},{"number": 3,"status": "closed","key": "lmn456"}]}'
Parse the JSON
h = JSON.parse(s)
Find the required number using map
h["incidents"].map {|h1| h1['number'] if h1['key']=='xyz098'}.compact.first
Or you could also use find as below
h["incidents"].find {|h1| h1['key']=='xyz098'}['number']
Or you could also use select as below
h["incidents"].select {|h1| h1['key']=='xyz098'}.first['number']
Do as below
# to get numbers from `'key'`.
json_hash["incidents"].map { |h| h['key'][/\d+/].to_i }
json_hash["incidents"] - will give you the value of the key "incidents", which is nothing but an array of hash.
map to iterate thorough each hash and collect the value of 'key'. Then applying Hash#[] to each inner hash of the array, to get the value of "key". Then calling str[regexp], to get only the number strings like '098' from "xyz098", finally applying to_i to get the actual integer from it.
If the given hash actually a json string, then first parse it using JSON::parse to convert it to a hash.Then do iterate as I said above.
require 'json'
json_hash = JSON.parse(json_string)
# to get values from the key `"number"`.
json_hash["incidents"].map { |h| h['number'] } # => [1, 2, 3]
# to search and get all the numbers for a particular key match and take the first
json_hash["incidents"].select { |h| h['key'] == 'abc123' }.first['number'] # => 1
# or to search and get only the first number for a particular key match
json_hash["incidents"].find { |h| h['key'] == 'abc123' }['number'] # => 1

Merge two JSON with a matching ID in Rails

I got two JSON that are structured like this. First one comes from an API:
[
{
"course_code":"Basic 101 - 0913",
"name":"Basic 101",
"start_at":"2013-09-16T00:00:00+02:00",
"end_at":"2013-10-13T23:55:00+02:00",
"workflow_state":"available"
},
{"course_code":"Medium 201 - 0913",
"name":"Medium 201",
"start_at":"2013-08-06T16:55:25+02:00",
"end_at":null,
"workflow_state":"available"
}
]
The second one is a JSON export from my database:
[
{
"id":1,
"course_id":"Basic 101",
"name":"Basic Level",
"description":"blablabla",
"discipline_id":"1",
"duration":"28",
"created_at":null,
"updated_at":null
},
{
"id":2,
"course_id":"Medium 201",
"name":"Medium Level",
"description":"blablabla",
"discipline_id":"1",
"duration":"28",
"created_at":null,
"updated_at":null
}
]
I would like to merge these two JSON into one, with matched :name in the first JSON and :course_id in the second one.
If you know good tutorials on using JSON in Rails, I'm really interested.
This isn't really a JSON issue.
When parsing JSON data it returns arrays and hashes.
One way of merging it in this case would be to loop through the data and check for the parameters you want/need to match. Once you find a match you can either manually create a new Hash with the needed data or you could use
hash1.merge(hash2)
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Hash.html#method-i-merge
which would return a hash consisting of both Hashes - attributes with the same name would be overwritten in the first hash.
Just a quick answer, to let you know where to go. Assuming first json is in json1 and second is in json2 variables, this code:
require 'json'
arr1 = JSON.parse(json1)
arr2 = JSON.parse(json2)
mrg = []
arr1.each do |el1|
arr2.each do |el2|
if el2['course_id'] == el1['name']
mrg.push(el1.merge(el2))
end
end
end
p mrg
Will print:
[
{
"course_code"=>"Basic 101 - 0913",
"name"=>"Basic Level",
"start_at"=>"2013-09-16T00:00:00+02:00",
"end_at"=>"2013-10-13T23:55:00+02:00",
"workflow_state"=>"available",
"id"=>1,
"course_id"=>"Basic 101",
"description"=>"blablabla",
"discipline_id"=>"1",
"duration"=>"28",
"created_at"=>nil,
"updated_at"=>nil
},
{
"course_code"=>"Medium 201 - 0913",
"name"=>"Medium Level",
"start_at"=>"2013-08-06T16:55:25+02:00",
"end_at"=>nil,
"workflow_state"=>"available",
"id"=>2,
"course_id"=>"Medium 201",
"description"=>"blablabla",
"discipline_id"=>"1",
"duration"=>"28",
"created_at"=>nil,
"updated_at"=>nil
}
]

rails extract data from simple json response

I need to extract some data from a JSON response i'm serving up from curb.
Previously I wasn't calling symbolize_keys, but i thought that would make my attempt work.
The controller action:
http = Curl.get("http://api.foobar.com/thing/thing_name/catalog_items.json?per_page=1&page=1") do|http|
http.headers['X-Api-Key'] = 'georgeBushSucks'
end
pre_keys = http.body_str
#foobar = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(pre_keys).symbolize_keys
In the view (getting undefined method `current_price' )
#foobar.current_price
I also tried #foobar.data[0]['current_price'] with the same result
JSON response from action:
{
"data": {
"catalog_items": [
{
"current_price": "9999.0",
"close_date": "2013-05-14T16:08:00-04:00",
"open_date": "2013-04-24T11:00:00-04:00",
"stuff_count": 82,
"minimum_price": "590000.0",
"id": 337478,
"estimated_price": "50000.0",
"name": "This is a really cool name",
"current_winner_id": 696969,
"images": [
{
"thumb_url": "http://foobar.com/images/93695/thumb.png?1365714300",
"detail_url": "http://foobar.com/images/93695/detail.png?1365714300",
"position": 1
},
{
"thumb_url": "http://foobar.com/images/95090/thumb.jpg?1366813823",
"detail_url": "http://foobar.com/images/95090/detail.jpg?1366813823",
"position": 2
}
]
}
]
},
"pagination": {
"per_page": 1,
"page": 1,
"total_pages": 131,
"total_objects": 131
}
}
Please note that accessing hash's element in Rails work in models. To use it on hash, you have to use OpenStruct object. It's part of standard library in rails.
Considering, #foobar has decoded JSON as you have.
obj = OpenStruct.new(#foobar)
obj.data
#=> Hash
But, note that, obj.data.catalog_items willn't work, because that is an hash, and again not an OpenStruct object. To aid this, we have recursive-open-struct, which will do the job for you.
Alternative solution [1]:
#foobar[:data]['catalog_items'].first['current_price']
But, ugly.
Alternative solution [2]:
Open Hash class, use method_missing ability as :
class Hash
def method_missing(key)
self[key.to_s]
end
end
Hope it helps. :)
