ruby on rails - Combine 2 Arrays with a single Dictionary -

i fetching 2 json arrays , storing them in variables called json_one , json_two. works fine, somehow combine them 1 single array.

how can combine 2 arrays single dictionary?

json_one

[   {     "address": "1031 25th street san diego, ca 92102",     "id": 1,     "resource_type_id": 3,   } ] 

json_two

 [    {      "resource_id": 4,    }  [ 

i've tried this....

def show     @user = user.find(params[:user_id])     @favorite = @user.favorites.find(params[:id])       @resource_data = []       (@resource_data << @favorite.resource_type.community_resources.where(:id => @favorite.resource_id)).flatten!       (@resource_data << @favorite.resource_type.district_resources.where(:id => @favorite.resource_id)).flatten!       (@resource_data << @favorite.resource_type.military_resources.where(:id => @favorite.resource_id)).flatten!       (@resource_data << @favorite.resource_type.school_resources.where(:id => @favorite.resource_id)).flatten!        @favorite_data = []       (@favorite_data << @favorite)        json_one = @resource_data.to_json(:only => [:id, :resource_type_id,:district_id,         :school_id, :name, :description, :website, :phone, :email, :address, :latitude, :longtude])         json_two = @favorite_data.to_json(:only => [:resource_id])        array1 = json.parse(json_one)       array2 = json.parse(json_two)        #array1 << array2       #firsts = array2.map {|array2| array2.first}        combined = [ array1.first.merge(array2.first) ]        respond_to |format|         format.html         format.json { render json: data }       end   end  ###but result.  ###i both dictionaries combined one.  [   {     "address": "1031 25th street san diego, ca 92102",     "id": 1,     "resource_type_id": 3,   }   {     "resource_id": 4,   } ] 

json_one = "[{\"address\":\"1031 25th street san diego, ca 92102\",\"id\":1,\"resource_type_id\":3}]" json_two = "[{\"resource_id\":4}]"  array1 = json.parse(json_one) array2 = json.parse(json_two)  combined = [ array1.first.merge(array2.first) ]  respond_to |format|   format.html   format.json { render json:combined } end 

fwiw, without json:

combined = @resource_data.slice( :id, :resource_type_id,:district_id,                                  :school_id, :name, :description, :website,                                   :phone, :email, :address, :latitude, :longtude )                           .merge( @favorite_data.slice( :resource_id )) 

this pulls out desired attributes @resource_data, , merges @favorite_data resource_id attribute.

see rails slice docs.
