I need to access a specific string inside the cookie.
I am using:
#id = JSON.parse(cookies[:cookie_name])
and it returns a JSON object. What is the best way to access a specific item in the JSON object?
Here is example of the JSON object:
{"distinct_id"=>"12345", "$initial_referrer"=>"$direct", "$initial_referring_domain"=>"$direct", "__mps"=>{}, "__mpso"=>{}, "__mpa"=>{}, "__mpap"=>[], "mp_name_tag"=>"12345", "id"=>"12345"}
What I want from that object is the distinct_id.
Any direction would be great.
That looks more like a Ruby hash than a JSON object (JSON.parse returns a hash as well). If that's the case, wouldn't #id['distinct_id'] work?

Hi I am trying to extract a value from a Netsuite hash inside custom fields, and some others, which typically look like this - `
"custbody_delivery_ticket_number"=>
{
"script_id"=>"custbody_delivery_ticket_number",
"internal_id"=>"2701",
"type"=>"platformCore:DateCustomFieldRef",
"attributes"=> {
"value"=>"123abc"
}
}` and want the value of it inside of attributes.
Have tried many different ways, but one in particular -
delivery_ticket_number: "#{netsuite_sales_orders.custom_field_list.custom_fields.select['custbody_nef_meter_ticket_number']['attributes']['value']}",
throws error for class Enumerator, NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for #Enumerator:0x00005589ec778730 which indicates may be getting close, but doing something wrong.
If anyone has any idea how to get values from these kind of hashes?
(Am told by the system admin that it is the correct custbody identifier)
Many Thanks
Eventually fixed this, grabbing Netsuite custom fields with a select of script_id by name,and map as below:
delivery_date:netsuite_sales_order.custom_fields_list.custom_fields.select { |field| field.script_id == 'custbody_delivery_date' }.map { |field| field.value }.first
First selecting the script_id by unique name, then mapping to the value. Was able to get any custom field like this, preferable as they can move and might not have the same index if use an index to grab them, fetching an incorrect value. This way ensures getting the correct data even if the item is moved up or down in the custom fields list.
Thanks for everyones help!
Hello I have the following object
object = [#<ShopifyAPI::DiscountCode:0x000000000e1c78a8 #attributes={"code"=>"Disc2", "amount"=>"1.00", "type"=>"percentage"}, #prefix_options={}, #persisted=true>]
How can I properly access the "code" name of that object?
I have tried object[:code] and object.code but it appears I am overlooking something.
object is an array of ShopifyAPI::DiscountCode.
The best way to access it is
object[0].attributes['code']
If u want code of all the objects available in the array, you could get the array of values by
object.map { |obj| obj.attributes['code'] }
Given that this is an Array of ShopifyAPI::DiscountCodes (which inherit from ActiveResource::Base)
You can call the code method on them. eg:
object[0].code
#=> "Disc2"
object.map(&:code)
#=> ["Disc2"]
First, object is array:
obj0 = object[0]
Second, this is instance variable:
attributes = obj0.instance_variable_get(:#attributes)
Last, gets values by keys:
attributes['code']
I'm trying to deserialize a JSON string with the following syntax into C# classes, but I'm sort of puzzled on how to handle the dynamic nature of the "parent" object:
{"1":[{"id":"12139811","num":"37805729","date":"2012-01-30"},{"id":"12139812","num":"36911026","date":"2012-01-30"}],"2":[{"id":"12158366","num":"17582898","date":"2012-01-30"},{"id":"12207165","num":"38493538","date":"2012-01-30"}]}
Any help on what the classes should look like will be appreciated.
(Preferably the syntax to Deserialize would be something like
var objects = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<MyObject>>(jsonString);
I think is beacuse your Json star with and identifier "1" instead of the array...
so you could try this
var objects = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionay<Object,List<MyObject>>>(jsonString);
I’m trying to parse some JSON from the twitter API and extract the value of a key (“media_url”), which is a sub-key of the key (“entities”)
so far I have:
url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&screen_name=print_broadcast&count=1'
response = RestClient.get(url)
data=response.body
result = JSON.parse(data)
How would I extract a key value from the parsed JSON?
I’ve tried
result[“entities”]
etc, but I get en error when trying to convert a string to integer... the result of my parsed JSON is an array - shouldn't this be a hash?
Sorry for the dumb questions.
Any help would be appreciated.
The JSON output is actually a list. Granted, it only has one element, but it's still a list.
First get result[0], then you can access ['entries'].
I'm using xml-mapping in Ruby (on Sinatra) for some XML stuff. Generally I follow this tutorial: http://xml-mapping.rubyforge.org/. I can create objects and write them to XML strings using
login.save_to_xml.to_s
But when I try
login = Login.load_from_xml(xml_string)
I get the following error:
XML::MappingError - no value, and no default value: Attribute username not set (XXPathError: path not found: username):
Here is the XML string I receive:
<login><username>ali</username><password>baba</password></login>
This is what the class looks like:
class Login
include XML::Mapping
text_node :username, "username"
text_node :password, "password"
end
So the class name is the same, the nodes are named the same. I actually get the exact same string when I create an instance of my object and fill it with ali/baba:
test = Login.new
test.username = "ali"
test.password = "baba"
p test.save_to_xml.to_s
<login><username>ali</username><password>baba</password></login>
What am I missing?
Thanks,
MrB
EDIT:
When I do
test = login.save_to_xml
And then
login = Login.load_from_xml(test)
it works. So the problem seems to be that I'm passing a string, while the method is expecting.. well, something else. There is definitely a load_from_xml(string) method in the rubydocs, so not sure what to pass here. I guess I need some kind of reverse to_s?
It looks like you save_to_xml creates a REXML::Element. Since that works, you may want to try:
Login.load_from_xml(REXML::Document.new(xml_string).root)
See the section on "choice_node" for a more detailed example http://xml-mapping.rubyforge.org/
