Question

For example, i’ve this model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

  def foo
    bar
  end

end

When i do this:
<%= User.all.to_json %>

I get this:

[{“user”:{“created_at”:”2011-06-07T17:40:21-03:00″,”login”:”abcd”, “password”:”1234″,”updated_at”:”2011-06-07T18:10:04-03:00″}}]

How can i get foo on this json too? Also, foo is an activerecord too..

Thanks

Answer 1

User.all.to_json(:methods => :foo)

It may also be useful to limit the attributes that are sent, you can do this with either the :only and :except options. e.g. It is unlikely you will want the password in this data.
