Redundant ModelName in CakePHP find Results

In your controller, instead of serializing the results of the find, serialise a level deeper.

Assuming CakePHP 2:

$things = $this->Thing->find('all');$things = Set::extract('/Thing/.', $things);

Now your results should be free of the extra level in your JSON.

The alternative, lengthy way of doing it is to for loop over the results:

foreach ($things as $k => &$v) {    $v = $v['Thing']}

After that, your $things will have removed the extra level of keys.

arrays json cakephp

For later versions of Cake, use $things = Set::extract($things, '{n}.Thing');
