Question

I want to include a hash and list inside a YAML file that I’m parsing with the following command:

APP_CONFIG = YAML.load_file("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/config.yml")

My YAML file looks like this:

feeds: [{:url => 'http://www.google.com', :label => 'default'}]

But this doesn’t seem to work.
How would I go about achieving such a thing?

Thanks,
Yuval

EDIT: Sorry, guys. I’m still unclear about how to do this and I suspect it is in part due to my somewhat vague phrasing. I asked a better-phrased, more broad question here. Thank you!

Answer 1

You can mark it up like this

feeds:
 - 
  url: 'http://www.google.com'
  label: 'default'

Note the spacing is important here. “-” must be indented by a single space (not a tab), and followed by a single space. And url & label must be indented by two spaces (not tabs either).
