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 ========================================== -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
