Hi,
i have a "place" model with 2 columns (id, name).
I'm calling an external api which gives me data to create a new place
object.

I would like to add the address from the external place to the place
object and render it as a json result, without storing it in the
database.

i don't get any errors, but the address never shows up within the json
output. i've tried with attr_accessor but that didn't work either.

any hints?

thanks


==========================================
place.rb

class Place < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessor: address
end

==========================================
places_controller.rb

  external_api_place_data = @client.find(place_id)
  place = Place.new
  place.name = place.name
  place.id = place.id

  //not showing up in the json result
  place.address = external_api_place_data.address

  places = []
  places << place

  respond_to do |format|
    format.html # index.html.erb
    format.json { render json: places }
  end



==========================================
