Extract records from Rails array

I have this variable in my pdforms_controller that is grouping all of the pdforms based on their group_id.

@groups = Pdform.where(principal_action: 'approved', super_action: 'new').group_by(&:group_id)



>      {"DSC-002"=>[#<Pdform id: 63, date_start: "2017-12-08", date_finish: "2017-12-09", location: "First test", mtg_name: "First
> test", memo: "First test", acct_num: "12312312323", sub: true,
> accepted: false, guest_id: nil, created_at: "2017-12-08 21:36:37",
> updated_at: "2017-12-21 15:43:57", user_id: 13, pdtype:
> "instructional", reason: nil, prr_requested: nil, length: "full",
> principal_action: "approved", super_action: "new", group_id:
> "DSC-002", is_group: false>], 
>         "DSC-001"=>[#<Pdform id: 64, date_start: "2017-12-19", date_finish: "2017-12-20", location: "test", mtg_name: "test", memo:

Right now I am just calling this in my view to display this information.

<%= @groups.each do |group| %>
  <%-# do something -%>
<% end %>

How can I get each record out of this array and display that data in separate columns, bootstrap cards, or whatever other container I want to use? I have never used arrays to store data so excuse me if this is either blatantly obvious or a stupid question.

When you have a hash, like { key: 'value', other_key: 'other_value' }, you can use each as the following:

# in rails console
h = { some_key: 'value', other_key: 'other_value' }
h.each do |k, v|
  puts "the value for key #{k.inspect} is #{v.inspect}"
end
# it will output:
the value for key :some_key is "value"
the value for key :other_key is "other_value"

So in your case, you can simply do:

@groups.each do |group_id, pdforms|
  # group_id is the key (ex: "DSC-002")
  # pdforms is the value for that key (in your case: an array of Pdform records)

  # in this loop you can then cycle through all `pdforms`:
  pdforms.each do |pdform|
    # do something with a single Pdform record
  end
end
