I'm currently trying to iterate over an array of hashes, and return all of the values of the "name" key in a string. Here's the array:
foods =
[
{ name: 'Dan Dan Noodles', cuisine: 'Sichuan', heat_level: 8 },
{ name: 'Nashville Hot Chicken', cuisine: 'American', heat_level: 7 },
{ name: 'Panang Curry', cuisine: 'Thai', heat_level: 4 },
]
Here's what I'm currently doing, and I'm not totally sure why it's not working!
foods.each do |food|
food.each do |k, v|
if food == :name
"#{v}"
end
end
end
Thanks in advance.
You can use Enumerable#map for this:
p foods.map { |f| f[:name] }
The code you tried to use did not produce any output or create any objects, and it was not necessary to use a second loop to access a single element of a hash.
