  • 0

I have this hash. I am trying to render in a view. Which me being so new to Rails I haven’t the slightest clue how to do it. What I need to do over all is be able to sort things by either service_name or by host and build blocks according to that. I’ve tried a dozen or so things but I can’t seem to work with this properly so I need any help I can get at this point.

An example of what I am trying to do:

example

Below is the hash. Best I’ve gotten so far is just the Service name to list independently without sorting or anything else.

services_hash = {
    :status => "successful",
    :service_list => [
        {
            :service_name => "oozie",
            :status => "RUNNING",
            :status_message => "Running Master Service",
            :host => "1"
        },
        {
            :service_name => "single-namenode",
            :status => "RUNNING",
            :status_message => "Running Service",
            :host => "1"
        },
        {
            :service_name => "single-database",
            :status => "RUNNING",
            :status_message => "Running Service",
            :host => "1"
        },
        {
            :service_name => "datanode",
            :status => "RUNNING",
            :status_message => "Running Service",
            :host => "1"
        },
        {
            :service_name => "secondarynamenode",

Below is 2 things one I tried, one someone else helped me come to the conclusion of for the sorting. Both work to a point. But when I went to combine the ideas I failed miserably. I have since scrapped my combination effort coming here to hope to find an answer how to do it so I can iterate over the hash to reproduce the above image to some effect or another.

Note currently I realize the output of the HTML would not completely resemble the image. Right now I am am stuck with the if-else portion of it, as the way I am trying it seems to skip over it.

<%
val = @service_hash
svcs = val[:service_list]
puts "#{svcs.size} service entries."

grouped = svcs.group_by { |svc| svc[:service_name] }
puts "#{grouped.size} named services:"

grouped.keys.sort.each do |name|
    puts "  service: #{name}"
    grouped[name].each do |svc|
        puts "     host: #{svc[:host]}"
        puts "   status: #{svc[:status]}"
        puts "           #{svc[:status_message]}"
    end
    puts '-'*40
end

    In Ruby on Rails puts doesn’t write to the output buffer. In an ERB the return value of a code block inside <%= %> will be written to the output. So in your view your code should look more like this:

    # ERB View Template
    <%
      val = @service_hash
      svcs = val[:service_list] # This should probably be done in a controller rather than a view.
    %>
    
    <%= svcs.size %> service entries.
    
    <%
      grouped = svcs.group_by { |svc| svc[:service_name] } # Again, this should probably be in a controller
    %>
    
    <%= grouped.size %> named services:
    
    <% grouped.keys.sort.each do |name| %>
      service: <%= name %>
      <% grouped[name].each do |svc| %>
        host: <%= svc[:host] %>
        status: <% svc[:status] %>
        <%= svc[:status_message] %>
      <% end %>
      <%= '-'*40 %>
    
    <% end %>
