Question

I have the following in the old syntax:

render json: [@note.to_json(:include => { :contact => { :except => [:created_at, :updated_at]}}, only: :body)], status: :created, location: [@contact, @note]

How would I do this in the new 1.9 hash syntax? I’ve tried plenty of different ways but can’t seem to understand the syntax. On a side note, I find it rather confusing.

Edit: Actually realized I’m already mixing it in with the json: call. Bah! Hate going between to two.

Answer 1

I’m not sure where the trouble is, but it converts pretty simply to this:

render json: [@note.to_json(include: { contact: { except: [:created_at, :updated_at]}}, only: :body)], status: :created, location: [@contact, @note]

As an aside, stringing so many nested structures together on one line is bound to be confusing. Break it down so it’s readable (and writable).
