Method to Prevent ' from turning into "

Question

I have the following line:

data: <%= @product_count.to_json %>

which renders:

data: [["name1",20],
      ["name2",9],
      ["name3",18],
      ["name4",32],
      ["name5",28],
      ["name6",17],
      ["name7",11]]

in the view. How do I change this so I get the actual quotes instead of the HTML.

The data comes from this line:

period_registration_product.each do |key, value|
      @product_count << [Product.find_by_id(key).name, value]
end

Update:

I tried: data: <%= JSON.parse(@product_count.to_json) %> and it failed.

Answer 1

I ended up using: data: <%= @product_count.to_json.html_safe %>

I tried both h and raw and neither of those worked, however, html_safe did it.

Not sure why, but for future travelers I'm on rails version 3.2.7.

Answer 2

try

data:    <%= raw @product_count.to_json %>

or

data:    <%= @product_count.to_json.html_safe %>
