Contentful::Array does not implement #to_ary

[arielkirkwood]

Hi folks, thanks for your hard work on this gem and the other Ruby client libraries!

I'm working with a Rails 4.2.11.1 project and the latest version of contentful_rails (0.4.2), which bundles contentful_model (1.0.1) and contentful (2.12.0). When I retrieve a collection of entries, I get a Contentful::Array object returned; within Rails, I'd like to be able to pass this object to the render method in my view to render a view template for each element of the array. To this end, my Contentful model has extend ActiveModel::Naming and include ActiveModel::Conversion implemented so that Rails knows how to find an associated view template for a given Contentful model; where I'm getting stuck is the initial render call with the Contentful::Array as an argument. Rails tries to figure out if the argument is a single object or a collection, using respond_to?(:to_ary) as a test (source).

Since Contentful::Array does not implement to_ary, Rails thinks it is a singular object, but since Contentful::Array does not implement to_partial_path, I get the usual error: '<Contentful::Array total=3 skip=0 limit=100>' is not an ActiveModel-compatible object. It must implement :to_partial_path.

Let me know if there's any further details I can provide about my use case :)

In case anyone else needs a work around, instead of doing

<%= render @collection %>

where @collection is a Contentful::Array, I'm doing

<%= render @collection.to_a %>

@dlitvakb @pxlpnk My understanding is this wouldn't be a huge lift, would you like me to put together a PR?

Hey @arielkirkwood,

If you can that'd be great, since I don't quite understand what the issue is.

Cheers
