Rails: changing the default JSON structure

Question

I am new to Rails and I am using version 4.2.0.

Suppose we have the following JSON in url localhost: 3000 / users

[{id: 1, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Smith"},
{id: 2, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Red"}]

but that's not what i want, i expect something like:

{ users :[
{id: 1, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Smith"},
{id: 2, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Red"}
]}

How can i do this? Thanks everyone.

try this in your user indexing controller

render json: {users: @users}

Where

@users = [{id: 1, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Smith"},
          {id: 2, "firstName": "John","lastName": "Red"}]
