+ The default logger in a Rails application will be `Rails.logger`.

7

+ # Rendering
4
+
5
+ ### Implicit Serializer
6
+
7
+ In your controllers, when you use `render :json`, Rails will now first search
8
+ for a serializer for the object and use it if available.
9
+
10
+ ```ruby
11
+ class PostsController < ApplicationController
12
+ def show
13
+ @post = Post.find(params[:id])
14
+
15
+ render json: @post
16
+ end
17
+ end
18
+ ```
19
+
20
+ In this case, Rails will look for a serializer named `PostSerializer`, and if
21
+ it exists, use it to serialize the `Post`.
22
+
23
+ ### Explicit Serializer
24
+
25
+ If you wish to use a serializer other than the default, you can explicitly pass it to the renderer.
26
+
27
+ #### 1. For a resource:
28
+
29
+ ```ruby
30
+ render json: @post, serializer: PostPreviewSerializer
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ #### 2. For a resource collection:
34
+
35
+ Specify the serializer for each resource with `each_serializer`
36
+
37
+ ```ruby
38
+ render json: @posts, each_serializer: PostPreviewSerializer
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ The default serializer for collections is `CollectionSerializer`.
42
+
43
+ Specify the collection serializer with the `serializer` option.
44
+
45
+ ```ruby
46
+ render json: @posts, serializer: CollectionSerializer, each_serializer: PostPreviewSerializer
47
+ ```
48
+
49
+ ## Serializing non-ActiveRecord objects
50
+
51
+ See [README](../../README.md#what-does-a-serializable-resource-look-like)
52
+
53
+ ## SerializableResource options
54
+
55
+ See [README](../../README.md#activemodelserializersserializableresource)
56
+
57
+ ### adapter_opts
58
+
59
+ #### fields
60
+
61
+ If you are using `json` or `attributes` adapter
62
+ ```ruby
63
+ render json: @user, fields: [:access_token]
64
+ ```
65
+
66
+ See [Fields](fields.md) for more information.
67
+
68
+ #### adapter
69
+
70
+ This option lets you explicitly set the adapter to be used by passing a registered adapter. Your options are `:attributes`, `:json`, and `:json_api`.
71
+
72
+ ```
73
+ ActiveModel::Serializer.config.adapter = :json_api
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ #### key_transform
77
+
78
+ ```render json: posts, each_serializer: PostSerializer, key_transform: :camel_lower```

+ A `meta` member can be used to include non-standard meta-information. `meta` can
85
+ be utilized in several levels in a response.
86
+
87
+ ##### Top-level
88
+
89
+ To set top-level `meta` in a response, specify it in the `render` call.
90
+
91
+ ```ruby
92
+ render json: @post, meta: { total: 10 }
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ The key can be customized using `meta_key` option.
96
+
97
+ ```ruby
98
+ render json: @post, meta: { total: 10 }, meta_key: "custom_meta"
99
+ ```
100
+
101
+ `meta` will only be included in your response if you are using an Adapter that
102
+ supports `root`, e.g., `JsonApi` and `Json` adapters. The default adapter,
103
+ `Attributes` does not have `root`.
104
+
105
+
106
+ ##### Resource-level
107
+
108
+ To set resource-level `meta` in a response, define meta in a serializer with one
109
+ of the following methods:
110
+
111
+ As a single, static string.
112
+
113
+ ```ruby
114
+ meta stuff: 'value'
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ As a block containing a Hash.
118
+
119
+ ```ruby
120
+ meta do
121
+ {
122
+ rating: 4,
123
+ comments_count: object.comments.count
124
+ }
125
+ end
126
+ ```
127
+
128
+
129
+ #### links
130
+
131
+ If you wish to use Rails url helpers for link generation, e.g., `link(:resources) { resources_url }`, ensure your application sets
132
+ `Rails.application.routes.default_url_options`.
133
+
134
+ ##### Top-level
135
+
136
+ JsonApi supports a [links object](http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-links) to be specified at top-level, that you can specify in the `render`:
137
+
138
+ ```ruby
139
+ links_object = {
140
+ href: "http://example.com/api/posts",
141
+ meta: {
142
+ count: 10
143
+ }
144
+ }
145
+ render json: @posts, links: links_object
146
+ ```
147
+
148
+ That's the result:
149
+
150
+ ```json
151
+ {
152
+ "data": [
153
+ {
154
+ "type": "posts",
155
+ "id": "1",
156
+ "attributes": {
157
+ "title": "JSON API is awesome!",
158
+ "body": "You should be using JSON API",
159
+ "created": "2015-05-22T14:56:29.000Z",
160
+ "updated": "2015-05-22T14:56:28.000Z"
161
+ }
162
+ }
163
+ ],
164
+ "links": {
165
+ "href": "http://example.com/api/posts",
166
+ "meta": {
167
+ "count": 10
168
+ }
169
+ }
170
+ }
171
+ ```
172
+
173
+ This feature is specific to JsonApi, so you have to use the use the [JsonApi Adapter](adapters.md#jsonapi)
174
+
175
+
176
+ ##### Resource-level
177
+
178
+ In your serializer, define each link in one of the following methods:
179
+
180
+ As a static string
181
+
182
+ ```ruby
183
+ link :link_name, 'https://example.com/resource'
184
+ ```
185
+
186
+ As a block to be evaluated. When using Rails, URL helpers are available.
187
+ Ensure your application sets `Rails.application.routes.default_url_options`.
188
+
189
+ ```ruby
190
+ link :link_name_ do
191
+ "https://example.com/resource/#{object.id}"
192
+ end
193
+
194
+ link(:link_name) { "https://example.com/resource/#{object.id}" }
195
+
196
+ link(:link_name) { resource_url(object) }
197
+
198
+ link(:link_name) { url_for(controller: 'controller_name', action: 'index', only_path: false) }
199
+
200
+ ```
201
+
202
+ ### serializer_opts
203
+
204
+ #### include
205
+
206
+ See [Adapters: Include Option](/docs/general/adapters.md#include-option).
207
+
208
+ #### Overriding the root key
209
+
210
+ Overriding the resource root only applies when using the JSON adapter.
211
+
212
+ Normally, the resource root is derived from the class name of the resource being serialized.
213
+ e.g. `UserPostSerializer.new(UserPost.new)` will be serialized with the root `user_post` or `user_posts` according the adapter collection pluralization rules.
214
+
215
+ When using the JSON adapter in your initializer (ActiveModelSerializers.config.adapter = :json), or passing in the adapter in your render call, you can specify the root by passing it as an argument to `render`. For example:
216
+
217
+ ```ruby
218
+ render json: @user_post, root: "admin_post", adapter: :json
219
+ ```
220
+
221
+ This will be rendered as:
222
+ ```json
223
+ {
224
+ "admin_post": {
225
+ "title": "how to do open source"
226
+ }
227
+ }
228
+ ```
229
+ Note: the `Attributes` adapter (default) does not include a resource root. You also will not be able to create a single top-level root if you are using the :json_api adapter.
230
+
231
+ #### namespace
232
+
233
+ The namespace for serializer lookup is based on the controller.
234
+
235
+ To configure the implicit namespace, in your controller, create a before filter
236
+
237
+ ```ruby
238
+ before_action do
239
+ self.namespace_for_serializer = Api::V2
240
+ end
241
+ ```
242
+
243
+ `namespace` can also be passed in as a render option:
244
+
245
+
246
+ ```ruby
247
+ @post = Post.first
248
+ render json: @post, namespace: Api::V2
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ This tells the serializer lookup to check for the existence of `Api::V2::PostSerializer`, and if any relations are rendered with `@post`, they will also utilize the `Api::V2` namespace.
252
+
253
+ The `namespace` can be any object whose namespace can be represented by string interpolation (i.e. by calling to_s)
254
+ - Module `Api::V2`
255
+ - String `'Api::V2'`
256
+ - Symbol `:'Api::V2'`
257
+
258
+ Note that by using a string and symbol, Ruby will assume the namespace is defined at the top level.
259
+
260
+
261
+ #### serializer
262
+
263
+ Specify which serializer to use if you want to use a serializer other than the default.
264
+
265
+ For a single resource:
266
+
267
+ ```ruby
268
+ @post = Post.first
269
+ render json: @post, serializer: SpecialPostSerializer
270
+ ```
271
+
272
+ To specify which serializer to use on individual items in a collection (i.e., an `index` action), use `each_serializer`:
273
+
274
+ ```ruby
275
+ @posts = Post.all
276
+ render json: @posts, each_serializer: SpecialPostSerializer
277
+ ```
278
+
279
+ #### scope
280
+
281
+ See [Serializers: Scope](/docs/general/serializers.md#scope).
282
+
283
+ #### scope_name

+ # Serializers
4
+
5
+ Given a serializer class:
6
+
7
+ ```ruby
8
+ class SomeSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
9
+ end
10
+ ```
11
+
12
+ The following methods may be defined in it:
13
+
14
+ ### Attributes
15
+
16
+ #### ::attributes
17
+
18
+ Serialization of the resource `title` and `body`
19
+
20
+ | In Serializer | #attributes |
21
+ |---------------------------- |-------------|
22
+ | `attributes :title, :body` | `{ title: 'Some Title', body: 'Some Body' }`
23
+ | `attributes :title, :body`<br>`def body "Special #{object.body}" end` | `{ title: 'Some Title', body: 'Special Some Body' }`
24
+
25
+
26
+ #### ::attribute
27
+
28
+ Serialization of the resource `title`
29
+
30
+ | In Serializer | #attributes |
31
+ |---------------------------- |-------------|
32
+ | `attribute :title` | `{ title: 'Some Title' } `
33
+ | `attribute :title, key: :name` | `{ name: 'Some Title' } `
34
+ | `attribute(:title) { 'A Different Title'}` | `{ title: 'A Different Title' } `
35
+ | `attribute :title`<br>`def title 'A Different Title' end` | `{ title: 'A Different Title' }`
36
+
37
+ An `if` or `unless` option can make an attribute conditional. It takes a symbol of a method name on the serializer, or a lambda literal.
38
+
39
+ e.g.
40
+
41
+ ```ruby
42
+ attribute :private_data, if: :is_current_user?
43
+ attribute :another_private_data, if: -> { scope.admin? }
44
+
45
+ def is_current_user?
46
+ object.id == current_user.id
47
+ end
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ ### Associations
51
+
52
+ The interface for associations is, generically:
53
+
54
+ > `association_type(association_name, options, &block)`
55
+
56
+ Where:
57
+
58
+ - `association_type` may be `has_one`, `has_many`, `belongs_to`.
59
+ - `association_name` is a method name the serializer calls.
60
+ - optional: `options` may be:
61
+ - `key:` The name used for the serialized association.
62
+ - `serializer:`
63
+ - `if:`
64
+ - `unless:`
65
+ - `virtual_value:`
66
+ - `polymorphic:` defines if polymorphic relation type should be nested in serialized association.
67
+ - `type:` the resource type as used by JSON:API, especially on a `belongs_to` relationship.
68
+ - `class_name:` the (String) model name used to determine `type`, when `type` is not given. e.g. `class_name: "Comment"` would imply the type `comments`
69
+ - `foreign_key:` used by JSON:API on a `belongs_to` relationship to avoid unnecessarily loading the association object.
70
+ - `namespace:` used when looking up the serializer and `serializer` is not given. Falls back to the parent serializer's `:namespace` instance options, which, when present, comes from the render options. See [Rendering#namespace](rendering.md#namespace] for more details.
71
+ - optional: `&block` is a context that returns the association's attributes.
72
+ - prevents `association_name` method from being called.
73
+ - return value of block is used as the association value.
74
+ - yields the `serializer` to the block.
75
+ - `include_data false` prevents the `data` key from being rendered in the JSON API relationship.
76
+
77
+ #### ::has_one
78
+
79
+ e.g.
80
+
81
+ ```ruby
82
+ has_one :bio
83
+ has_one :blog, key: :site
84
+ has_one :blog, class_name: "Blog"
85
+ has_one :maker, virtual_value: { id: 1 }
86
+
87
+ has_one :blog do |serializer|
88
+ serializer.cached_blog
89
+ end
90
+
91
+ def cached_blog
92
+ cache_store.fetch("cached_blog:#{object.updated_at}") do
93
+ Blog.find(object.blog_id)
94
+ end
95
+ end
96
+ ```
97
+
98
+ ```ruby
99
+ has_one :blog, if: :show_blog?
100
+ # you can also use a string or lambda
101
+ # has_one :blog, if: 'scope.admin?'
102
+ # has_one :blog, if: -> (serializer) { serializer.scope.admin? }
103
+ # has_one :blog, if: -> { scope.admin? }
104
+
105
+ def show_blog?
106
+ scope.admin?
107
+ end
108
+ ```
109
+
110
+ #### ::has_many
111
+
112
+ e.g.
113
+
114
+ ```ruby
115
+ has_many :comments
116
+ has_many :comments, key: :reviews
117
+ has_many :comments, serializer: CommentPreviewSerializer
118
+ has_many :comments, class_name: "Comment"
119
+ has_many :reviews, virtual_value: [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }]
120
+ has_many :comments, key: :last_comments do
121
+ last(1)
122
+ end
123
+ ```
124
+
125
+ #### ::belongs_to
126
+
127
+ e.g.
128
+
129
+ ```ruby
130
+ belongs_to :author, serializer: AuthorPreviewSerializer
131
+ belongs_to :author, key: :writer
132
+ belongs_to :author, class_name: "Author"
133
+ belongs_to :post
134
+ belongs_to :blog
135
+ def blog
136
+ Blog.new(id: 999, name: 'Custom blog')
137
+ end
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ ### Polymorphic Relationships
141
+
142
+ Polymorphic relationships are serialized by specifying the relationship, like any other association. For example:
143
+
144
+ ```ruby
145
+ class PictureSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
146
+ has_one :imageable
147
+ end
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ You can specify the serializers by [overriding serializer_for](serializers.md#overriding-association-serializer-lookup). For more context about polymorphic relationships, see the [tests](../../test/adapter/polymorphic_test.rb) for each adapter.
151
+
152
+ ### Caching
153
+
154
+ #### ::cache
155
+
156
+ e.g.
157
+
158
+ ```ruby
159
+ cache key: 'post', expires_in: 0.1, skip_digest: true
160
+ cache expires_in: 1.day, skip_digest: true
161
+ cache key: 'writer', skip_digest: true
162
+ cache only: [:name], skip_digest: true
163
+ cache except: [:content], skip_digest: true
164
+ cache key: 'blog'
165
+ cache only: [:id]
166
+ ```
167
+
168
+ #### #cache_key
169
+
170
+ e.g.
171
+
172
+ ```ruby
173
+ # Uses a custom non-time-based cache key
174
+ def cache_key
175
+ "#{self.class.name.downcase}/#{self.id}"
176
+ end
177
+ ```
178
+
179
+ ### Other
180
+
181
+ #### ::type
182
+
183
+ When using the `:json_api` adapter, the `::type` method defines the JSONAPI [type](http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-resource-object-identification) that will be rendered for this serializer.
184
+
185
+ When using the `:json` adapter, the `::type` method defines the name of the root element.
186
+
187
+ It either takes a `String` or `Symbol` as parameter.
188
+
189
+ Note: This method is useful only when using the `:json_api` or `:json` adapter.
190
+
191
+ Examples:
192
+ ```ruby
193
+ class UserProfileSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
194
+ type 'profile'
195
+
196
+ attribute :name
197
+ end
198
+ class AuthorProfileSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
199
+ type :profile
200
+
201
+ attribute :name
202
+ end
203
+ ```
204
+
205
+ With the `:json_api` adapter, the previous serializers would be rendered as:
206
+
207
+ ``` json
208
+ {
209
+ "data": {
210
+ "id": "1",
211
+ "type": "profile",
212
+ "attributes": {
213
+ "name": "Julia"
214
+ }
215
+ }
216
+ }
217
+ ```
218
+
219
+ With the `:json` adapter, the previous serializer would be rendered as:
220
+
221
+ ``` json
222
+ {
223
+ "profile": {
224
+ "name": "Julia"
225
+ }
226
+ }
227
+ ```
228
+
229
+ #### ::link
230
+
231
+ ```ruby
232
+ link :self do
233
+ href "https://example.com/link_author/#{object.id}"
234
+ end
235
+ link(:author) { link_author_url(object) }
236
+ link(:link_authors) { link_authors_url }
237
+ link :other, 'https://example.com/resource'
238
+ link(:posts) { link_author_posts_url(object) }
239
+ ```
240
+
241
+ Just like attributes, links also support conditions in options
242
+ ```ruby
243
+ link(:secret, if: :internal?) { object.secret_link }
244
+
245
+ def internal?
246
+ instance_options[:context] == :internal
247
+ end
248
+ ```
249
+
250
+ #### #object
251
+
252
+ The object being serialized.
253
+
254
+ #### #root
255
+
256
+ Resource root which is included in `JSON` adapter. As you can see at [Adapters Document](adapters.md), `Attribute` adapter (default) and `JSON API` adapter does not include root at top level.
257
+ By default, the resource root comes from the `model_name` of the serialized object's class.
258
+
259
+ There are several ways to specify root:
260
+ * [Overriding the root key](rendering.md#overriding-the-root-key)
261
+ * [Setting `type`](serializers.md#type)
262
+ * Specifying the `root` option, e.g. `root: 'specific_name'`, during the serializer's initialization:
263
+
264
+ ```ruby
265
+ ActiveModelSerializers::SerializableResource.new(foo, root: 'bar')
266
+ ```
267
+
268
+ #### #scope
269
+
270
+ Allows you to include in the serializer access to an external method.
271
+
272
+ It's intended to provide an authorization context to the serializer, so that
273
+ you may e.g. show an admin all comments on a post, else only published comments.
274
+
275
+ - `scope` is a method on the serializer instance that comes from `options[:scope]`. It may be nil.
276
+ - `scope_name` is an option passed to the new serializer (`options[:scope_name]`). The serializer
277
+ defines a method with that name that calls the `scope`, e.g. `def current_user; scope; end`.
278
+ Note: it does not define the method if the serializer instance responds to it.
279
+
280
+ That's a lot of words, so here's some examples:
281
+
282
+ First, let's assume the serializer is instantiated in the controller, since that's the usual scenario.
283
+ We'll refer to the serialization context as `controller`.
284
+
285
+ | options | `Serializer#scope` | method definition |
286
+ |-------- | ------------------|--------------------|
287
+ | `scope: current_user, scope_name: :current_user` | `current_user` | `Serializer#current_user` calls `controller.current_user`
288
+ | `scope: view_context, scope_name: :view_context` | `view_context` | `Serializer#view_context` calls `controller.view_context`
289
+
290
+ We can take advantage of the scope to customize the objects returned based
291
+ on the current user (scope).
292
+
293
+ For example, we can limit the posts the current user sees to those they created:
294
+
295
+ ```ruby
296
+ class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
297
+ attributes :id, :title, :body
298
+
299
+ # scope comments to those created_by the current user
300
+ has_many :comments do
301
+ object.comments.where(created_by: current_user)
302
+ end
303
+ end
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ Whether you write the method as above or as `object.comments.where(created_by: scope)`
307
+ is a matter of preference (assuming `scope_name` has been set).
308
+
309
+ Keep in mind that the scope can be set to any available controller reference. This can be utilized to provide access to any other data scopes or presentation helpers.
310
+
311

+ In the controller, the scope/scope_name options are equal to
314
+ the [`serialization_scope`method](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/blob/d02cd30fe55a3ea85e1d351b6e039620903c1871/lib/action_controller/serialization.rb#L13-L20),
315
+ which is `:current_user`, by default.
316
+
317
+ Specifically, the `scope_name` is defaulted to `:current_user`, and may be set as
318
+ `serialization_scope :view_context`. The `scope` is set to `send(scope_name)` when `scope_name` is
319
+ present and the controller responds to `scope_name`.
320
+
321
+ Thus, in a serializer, the controller provides `current_user` as the
322
+ current authorization scope when you call `render :json`.
323
+
324
+ **IMPORTANT**: Since the scope is set at render, you may want to customize it so that `current_user` isn't
325
+ called on every request. This was [also a problem](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/pull/1252#issuecomment-159810477)
326
+ in [`0.9`](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/tree/0-9-stable#customizing-scope).
327
+
328
+ We can change the scope from `current_user` to `view_context`, which is included in subclasses of `ActionController::Base`.
329
+
330
+ ```diff
331
+ class SomeController < ActionController::Base
332
+ + serialization_scope :view_context
333
+
334
+ def current_user
335
+ User.new(id: 2, name: 'Bob', admin: true)
336
+ end
337
+
338
+ def edit
339
+ user = User.new(id: 1, name: 'Pete')
340
+ render json: user, serializer: AdminUserSerializer, adapter: :json_api
341
+ end
342
+ end
343
+ ```
344
+
345
+ We could then use the controller method `view_context` in our serializer, like so:
346
+
347
+ ```diff
348
+ class AdminUserSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
349
+ attributes :id, :name, :can_edit
350
+
351
+ def can_edit?
352
+ + view_context.current_user.admin?
353
+ end
354
+ end
355
+ ```
356
+
357
+ So that when we render the `#edit` action, we'll get
358
+
359
+ ```json
360
+ {"data":{"id":"1","type":"users","attributes":{"name":"Pete","can_edit":true}}}
361
+ ```
362
+
363
+ Where `can_edit` is `view_context.current_user.admin?` (true).
364
+
365
+ You can also tell what to set as `serialization_scope` for specific actions.
366
+
367
+ For example, use `admin_user` only for `Admin::PostSerializer` and `current_user` for rest.
368
+
369
+ ```ruby
370
+ class PostsController < ActionController::Base
371
+
372
+ before_action only: :edit do
373
+ self.class.serialization_scope :admin_user
374
+ end
375
+
376
+ def show
377
+ render json: @post, serializer: PostSerializer
378
+ end
379
+
380
+ def edit
381
+ @post.save
382
+ render json: @post, serializer: Admin::PostSerializer
383
+ end
384
+
385
+ private
386
+
387
+ def admin_user
388
+ User.new(id: 2, name: 'Bob', admin: true)
389
+ end
390
+
391
+ def current_user
392
+ User.new(id: 2, name: 'Bob', admin: false)
393
+ end
394
+ end
395
+ ```
396
+ Note that any controller reference which provides the desired scope is acceptable, such as another controller method for loading a different resource or reference to helpers. For example, `ActionController::API` does not include `ActionView::ViewContext`, and would need a different reference for passing any helpers into a serializer via `serialization_scope`.
397
+
398
+ #### #read_attribute_for_serialization(key)
399
+
400
+ The serialized value for a given key. e.g. `read_attribute_for_serialization(:title) #=> 'Hello World'`
401
+
402
+ #### #links
403
+
404
+ Allows you to modify the `links` node. By default, this node will be populated with the attributes set using the [::link](#link) method. Using `links: nil` will remove the `links` node.
405
+
406
+ ```ruby
407
+ ActiveModelSerializers::SerializableResource.new(
408
+ @post,
409
+ adapter: :json_api,
410
+ links: {
411
+ self: {
412
+ href: 'http://example.com/posts',
413
+ meta: {
414
+ stuff: 'value'
415
+ }
416
+ }
417
+ }
418
+ )
419
+ ```
420
+
421
+ #### #json_key
422
+
423
+ Returns the key used by the adapter as the resource root. See [root](#root) for more information.
424
+
425
+ ## Examples
426
+
427
+ Given two models, a `Post(title: string, body: text)` and a
428
+ `Comment(name: string, body: text, post_id: integer)`, you will have two
429
+ serializers:
430
+
431
+ ```ruby
432
+ class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
433
+ cache key: 'posts', expires_in: 3.hours
434
+ attributes :title, :body
435
+
436
+ has_many :comments
437
+ end
438
+ ```
439
+
440
+ and
441
+
442
+ ```ruby
443
+ class CommentSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
444
+ attributes :name, :body
445
+
446
+ belongs_to :post
447
+ end
448
+ ```
449
+
450
+ Generally speaking, you, as a user of ActiveModelSerializers, will write (or generate) these
451
+ serializer classes.
452
+

+
457
+ ## Overriding association methods
458
+
459
+ To override an association, call `has_many`, `has_one` or `belongs_to` with a block:
460
+
461
+ ```ruby
462
+ class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
463
+ has_many :comments do
464
+ object.comments.active
465
+ end
466
+ end
467
+ ```
468
+
469
+ ## Overriding attribute methods
470
+
471
+ To override an attribute, call `attribute` with a block:
472
+
473
+ ```ruby
474
+ class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
475
+ attribute :body do
476
+ object.body.downcase
477
+ end
478
+ end
479
+ ```
480
+
481
+ ## Overriding association serializer lookup
482
+
483
+ If you want to define a specific serializer lookup for your associations, you can override
484
+ the `ActiveModel::Serializer.serializer_for` method to return a serializer class based on defined conditions.
485
+
486
+ ```ruby
487
+ class MySerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
488
+ def self.serializer_for(model, options)
489
+ return SparseAdminSerializer if model.class.name == 'Admin'
490
+ super
491
+ end
492
+
493
+ # the rest of the serializer
494
+ end
495
+ ```
