Rails: change default JSON structure

Question

I'm new in Rails and I use the version 4.2.0.

Let's suppose that we have the following JSON at the url localhost:3000/users

[{id: 1, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Smith"},
{id: 2, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Red"}]

but this is not what I want, I expect something like:

{ users :[
{id: 1, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Smith"},
{id: 2, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Red"}
]}

How can i do? Thanks everybody.

Answer 1

try this in users index controller

render json: {users: @users}

where

@users = [{id: 1, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Smith"},
          {id: 2, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Red"}]
