Convert string to serialize hash

Hello Rubies,

        Do you phase the problem ? - sometime  when we are retrieving the serialized hash field from table we might get string as response. So in that case you can use one of the below solutions.

Eg. 

Model - User.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

   serialize :content, Hash

end

convert string to serialize hash format by 

# get the one of the record from users table

user = User.first

either using

    user.content.to_yaml

or

    YAML.parse(user.content)

or

    YAML.load(user.content)
