Question

my file is _file.html.erb :

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function(){
    console.log("<%= escape_javascript( list ) %>");
  });
</script>

This fails. But if I put in a debugger before the javascript gets rendered, and run list, it returns properly in console. How can I get an active working JSON object from list so that I can work with it?

Why not this?

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function(){
    var list = <%= list.attributes.to_json %>;
    console.log(list);
  });
</script>
