I have a rails 3 app running on ruby v. 1.9.3 with a user, post and role model. A user has many posts as well as roles.
My routes.rb file look like this:
namespace :api, defaults: {format: 'json'} do
resources :users do
resources :posts
resources :roles
end
end
I want to include the associated posts and roles in the json response when listing all the users. I have found a way to include only one of them, like this:
#users_controller.rb
def index
@users = User.all
respond_with @users, :include => :posts
end
Which gives me the following json response
[{
"created_at":"2013-06-17T13:10:59Z",
"id":1,
"username":"foo"
"posts":[ a list of all the users posts ]
}]
But what I want is a result looking like this:
[{
"created_at":"2013-06-17T13:10:59Z",
"id":1,
"username":"foo"
"posts":[ a list of all the users posts ]
"roles":[ a list of all the users roles ]
}]
How should I modify my code to achieve this?
u can use 'include' as
User.all.to_json(:include => [:posts, :roles])
