# AsJsonWithIncludes

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/checkraiser/as_json_with_includes.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/checkraiser/as_json_with_includes)

## Problem:

- We have complicated includes

```ruby
includes = [:a, :b, :c, :d, {:e => {:f => [:g, :g]}}]
```

- We can use it like this:

```ruby
model = model_1.submodels.includes(includes)
```

- The data is now in rails and we have to convert the data to json but we cannot do `render :json => submodels, :include => includes`
this is because the ":include =>" attribute expects a different format:

```ruby
[:a, :b, :c, :d, {:e => {:include => {:f => {:include => [:g, :h]}}}}]
```

which we have to manually write.

## Solution:

This gem takes active_record_includes of the form:

```ruby
[:a, :b, :c, :d, {:e => {:f => [:g, :h]}}]
```

and returns:

```ruby
[:a, :b, :c, :d, {:e => {:include => {:f => {:include => [:g, :h]}}}}]
```

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'as_json_with_includes'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install as_json_with_includes

## Usage

```ruby
includes = [:a, :b, {c: :d}]
model = Model.where(...).as_json_with_includes(includes: includes)
```

## Testing

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
