If I want to switch from the default attributes adapter to the JSON API adapter, where would I do this?
The getting started states this:
Generally speaking, you as a user of AMS will write (or generate) these serializer classes. If you want to use a different adapter, such as a JSON API, you can change this in an initializer:
ActiveModel::Serializer.config.adapter = :json_api
What initializer are they referring to? Do I create a new one? Sorry for the noob question
In general, initializers are put under the app/config/initializers
directory in a Rails app.
So, in your case, you can create a new file there: ams.rb
and put those content in that file:
# app/config/initializers/ams.rb
ActiveModel::Serializer.config.adapter = :json_api
Also, see this github issue.
If you want to be using the :json_api
format, you have to use the 0.10.0
branch off of Github.
