How to change Hash values?

Question

I\'d like to replace each value in a hash with value.some_method.

For example, for given a simple hash:

{\"a\" => \"b\",         


        

Answer 1

Rails-specific

In case someone only needs to call to_s method to each of the values and is not using Rails 4.2 ( which includes transform_values method link), you can do the following:

original_hash = { :a => 'a', :b => BigDecimal('23.4') }
#=> {:a=>"a", :b=>#}
JSON(original_hash.to_json)
#=> {"a"=>"a", "b"=>"23.4"}

Note: The use of 'json' library is required.

Note 2: This will turn keys into strings as well
