Also, in my controller, I'd like to call the parent controller's
method to format my json in a certain way...So instead of this:
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render :json => @projects.to_json(:include =>
[:apps]) }
end
I'd like to do something like this:
result = <nested data>
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render :json =>
some_method_in_parent_controller(result) }
end
So all my other controllers that subclass this parent application
controller can pass data to this parent controller's method and format
the data in a particular way.
How do I achieve this? Please help! Thanks!
