How to store array on a cookie rails 4?

Question

I am trying to store an array on rails an getting error on the decoding. I use cookies[:test] = Array.new And when I am trying to decode @test = ActiveSupp

Answer 1

Use session, not cookies. You don't have to decode it, rails handles that for you. Create the session the same way you already are:

session[:test] = Array.new

and when you need it, access it like normal

session[:test]
# => []
