Re: [Rails-core] ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON support roles

[Steve Klabnik]

I think this would be useful, but I'm not sure that this just means
that there shouldn't be two serailizers instead of putting both in one
class.

Steve, are you thinking about something like this in terms of code?

render json: SearchClient.new(@clients)

#or

render json: ContractWon.new(@clients)

class SearchClient

  def initialize(clients)

    @clients = clients

  end

  

  def to_json(options=nil)

    @clients.to_json(only: %w(foo bar)

  end

end

class ContractWon

  def initialize(clients)

    @clients = clients

  end

  

  def to_json(options=nil)

    @clients.to_json(only: %w(baz other)

  end

end

That's basically the approach I've been using lately, and it works quite fine for my needs :).
