I need to take an array of data called @users and turn it into a json response with the correct formatting.
The @users array has a bunch of attributes. I only need id and screen_name, but I need the formatting to look like this:
[
{"id":"856","screen_name":"joerogan"},
{"id":"1035","screen_name":"redban"},
{"id":"1245","screen_name":"madflavor"}
...
]
def user_json_list
...
results = @users # ?
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.json { render :json => results }
end
end
The @users array looks like this:
