Adding Rails data to Highcharts series - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am trying to make a chart to display a users weight, using highcharts. I have all of the correct js files included and when passed a simple array of integers, it works just fine.
However I am unsure, having read the highcharts docs, how to pass the correct data into the series options using rails.
my user model is as follows:
A user has many weigh_ins, which has weight:float user_id:integer id:integer created_at:datetime fields. (if this is relevant)
Below is my view, as you can see i have tried to iterate through the users weights and then pass that as the data. I know it needs to be fed json and an array, but im not sure how to format my data to fit in that way.
borderWidth: 0
},
series: [{
pointInterval: <%= 1.day * 1000 %>,
name: 'weight',
data: <% #user.weigh_ins.each do |weight| %>
<%= weight.weight.to_json %>
<% end %>
}]
If there is any more code that needs posting, just shout.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thata defo on the right track, however, the data is dynamic so a user can update their weights everyday, so the chart needs to update aswell. If i use the square brackets like above then the graph doesnt even render. Now i have this but it doesnt produce the correct output either. I need to find the weigh_ins for the correct user, then iterate through all of them and select the weight figure which is a float. Not sure how to tackle it.
data: <% user = #user.weigh_ins %>
<% user.each do |user_weight| %>
[<%= user_weight.weight %> ]
<% end %>

Answer 1

I'm something similar with this code:
<% bio_array = Array.new(#bio.size) %>
<% #biometrics.each_with_index {|x, index| %>
<% bio_array += [x[:weight]] %>
<% } %>
(... some code ...)
series: [{
name: 'Some Name',
data: <%= bio_array %>
Please note that this code is not optimized for you case (in my case i have other logic that i omitted for being useless to your case - i had a multidimensional arrays with [data and value]).

if you want to parse data like that , you don't really have to use Json , becoz since yo don't update dynamically , you can just echo it like [34,32,24,25,12] bt first you hv to make that String from Ruby , and that's exactly what is json is used for too , check your Json output,
btw try echo some Ruby String like
=> 1,2,3,4,5 [<% echo str %> ]
and if your json out put hv no squre brackets [] then try adding them
data:[ <% #user.weigh_ins.each do |weight| %> ]
