Override as_json method in rails

Question

I am trying to buid a blog app using rails api in backend and angular js in frontend. In my app every post has many comments and every comment has many replies. I have made one to many relationship between post and comment and comment and replies. When I click on a post title it takes me to a post show page using PostController#show method with it's comment. For this in Post model I have override as_json method like this:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :comments

  def as_json(options = {})
    super(options.merge(include: :comments))
  end
end

But I want to show all replies with the comment. For this how can I modify as_json method?

Answer 1

You can try this

posts.as_json(include: { comments: {
                           include: { replies: {
                                          only: :body } },
                           only: :title } })
