One note about this: this can hit n+1 queries pretty hard. Unless you put include: in your associations (which I wouldn't not recommend unless it makes sense, and it probably doesn't) you have to know at query time what to include (or use joins), and what I just posted would make that difficult.
If you do use ActiveModel::Serializers instead and have big serialized objects, look at yodo to help you identify the value for include: in your queries to avoid n+1: https://github.com/garysweaver/yodo You could also look at bullet in that regard: https://github.com/flyerhzm/bullet On Wednesday, May 22, 2013 3:12:43 PM UTC-4, gsw wrote: > > Would this work? > > MyModel.last.serializable_hash methods: MyModel.reflections.keys > > Or is that too much? > > Look at the options that you can pass into serializable_hash. > > However, if you are doing this for json/etc. serialization in the > controller, check out ActiveModel::Serializers. > > > On Wednesday, May 22, 2013 10:53:14 AM UTC-4, Ruby-Forum.com User wrote: >> >> Hello, >> I'm trying to find a very abstract and "one size fits all" for >> converting nested active record results to nested hashes.
