Accessing data in a ruby array

Ruby
1

I have this array. I want to access the stuff in the hashes.

i can loop through them all and get the individual hashes but i cannot
access the data.

products.each.do |product|
product[1]
#this gives me the hash
#product[1].id and product[1][:id] does not work
end

How do i access the name and description and rateplans inside this
structure.

Thanks in advance!

products => [“prod0”, {“id”=>“4028e6963457a2a001345934b93633e4”,
“name”=>“Product 1”, “description”=>“This is a cool product with 4 rate
plans of different frequencies”,
“rate_plans”=>{“rp0”=>{“id”=>“4028e6963457a2a001345936b60d33fa”,
“name”=>“Quarterly Rate Plan”, “description”=>“This is a Quarterly Rate
Plan billed every quarter.”, “uom”=>“Seat”,
“charges”=>{“rpc0”=>{“id”=>“4028e697343fffc20134593a0a242ebd”,
“uom”=>“Seat”, “quantity”=>“5”, “name”=>“New Component”, “price”=>0,

Although what you wrote doesn’t match the data structure, so I’m kind
of guessing here.
