I created a rails API using postgre database in which i have a model (table) name as counseling_event
NOTE: Not using scaffold and using rails-5
My scheman(migration) for counseling_event is as follow:
class CreateCounselingEvent < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
def change
create_table :counseling_event do |t|
t.text :name
t.datetime :start_time
t.datetime :end_time
t.text :location
t.integer :user_id
t.integer :role_id
t.timestamps
end
end
end
I added a column to the above table, which is of type enum. column name is event_type
Now, In my Controller i.e CounselingEventController, in my action index i'm retrieving the data from the counseling_event table. the code is as follows.
def index
@counseling_event = CounselingEvent.where(start_time: "2016-10-30".."2016-12-11")
render body: @counseling_event
end
when i call this api controller action from frontend through following route
get 'counseling_event/index'
I'm getting this error in my console:
CounselingEvent Load (1.5ms) SELECT "counseling_event".* FROM "counseling_event"

I don't know the reason for the error but, trying hard to resolve it. can any one help me out to solve this error. it seems like some activemodel error. Thanks in advance.
Rails is based on Rack. Rack can only handle strings. You're rendering an object, not a string.
You probably want something like:
render plain: @counceling_event.to_s
It basically happens because Rack attempts to call #empty? on the body of the response to determine how it should respond to the client.
But since your @counceling_event isn't a string and doesn't respond to empty? it fails.
I'm unsure what you're trying to do by render body: <SOMETHING>. If you're on a Rails app you probably want to render a view instead of content directly from the controller.
If you really want to render from the controller you should consider using render plain: <SOMETHING>.
Hope this helps.
