ActiveModel::Serializer define attribute attributes?

I'm trying to implement the JSON API for my Rails app. It requires attributes field to be defined. But ActiveModel::Serializer has a method with the same name, hence

class FooSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
  attributes :attributes

  def attributes
    {
      # to be filled
    }
  end
end

will just override the original method. Is that ever possible to add the attributes field somehow?

Solution

  • ActiveModel Serializer has support for JSON API out of the box. You just need to setup the proper adapter.

    ActiveModelSerializers.config.adapter = :json_api
