I'm trying to take everything out of my Users table and send it to mail chimp for subscription.
I need to go from User.all to
[{:email => {:email => "[email protected]"},
:merge_vars => {:FNAME => "First name", :LNAME => "Last name"}
}]
I'm trying to do this with map but I'm struggling, any ideas of the cleanest way of doing this?
subscription_array = User.all.collect do |user|
{
:email => {:email => user.email},
:merge_vars => {:FNAME => user.first_name, :LNAME => user.last_name}
}
end
users_array = []
User.all.find_each {|u| users_array << {:email => u.email, :merge_vars => {:FNAME => u.first_name, :LNAME => u.last_name} }
I chose to use find_each is it's a more efficient way of loading your collection.
