[Rails] Re: how to create custom yaml

Is the result a Rails model? If so, easy, just build a string and insert your variables into the string. You can do this in a model method like so:

def to_yaml

  yaml = "---"

  yaml += "- name: #{self.device_name or wherever you store this}"

  blah blah

  so on

  return yaml

end

I need to create a method that should return yaml in the following
format

---
- name: device-1
  parameters:
    app_folder: deploy_project
    app_id: "1"
    tar_file: deploy_project.tar.gz
    profile_id: "3"
    version_id: "2"
  classes:
  - install

I have all these values (device-1, deploye-project etc) captured into a
variable "result" that are coming from the database but i just need to
return them in the above format as a yaml using

puts yaml_obj = result.to_yaml
