Hi,

I’m trying to send the id’s of bunch of posts to javascript but  
instead of id’s I’m getting something like:  
#Post:0x1044e7078#Post:0x1044e6fd8

What am I doing wrong ?

Many thanks!

You’re sending the post itself. Without seeing your code it’s gonna  
be hard to provide more info.

Guessing I’d say you maybe want…

@posts.to\_json

or something.

yes,

@posts.to\_json(:only =\> [:id]) solved my problem.

Many thanks !
