Render status and data JSON response with active model serializer - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm using active model serialiser.
I want to render both 'status' and 'data' in JSON format, e.g.
{"status":"success","data":[{"id":1,"content":xxx"}]}
I've been able to produce the 'data' using the following code in my rails controller:
#jobs = Job.all
render json: #jobs
How can I render both 'status' and 'data'? I've tried doing:
#jobs = Job.all
render :json => { :status => :success, :data => #jobs }
This doesn't recognize my JobSerializer, so renders JSON output, but not with the attributes and associations specified in my JobSerializer.
I've also tried:
#jobs = Job.all
render :json => { :status => :success, :data => ActiveModel::ArraySerializer.new(#jobs, each_serializer: JobSerializer) }
This appears to work, i.e. renders a JSON response with the right attributes speicified in my JobSerializer, but doesn't recognise or render the associations in my JobSerializer (i.e. a has_many association)
Is there an easy way to do this that I'm missing?

Answer 1

You can do something like:
render :json => {
status: "success",
data: ContentSerializer.new( contents ).attributes
}

Answer 2

Try this
#jobs = Job.all
render json: #jobs, status: 200
if above dosent work try this one
#jobs = Job.all
render json: #jobs, status: 200, serializer: JobSerializer

Answer 3

maybe you can try to render on this way:
#jobs = Job.all
render :json => { :status => :success, :data => #jobs.to_json }
UPDATE:
if you want to render and related objects, this should look like:
render :json => { :status => :success, :data => #jobs.to_json(:include => :users) }
here I assumed that the job model has users

Answer 4

Add attr_accessor to your model class
class Job < ApplicationRecord
attr_accessor :status
end
2.Then add same attribute to your serilizer
class JobSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
attributes :id, :name, :address, :email,:status
has_one :branch
end
3.Done add code like this in your controller
#job.status = 'success'
render json: #job, status: 200

Answer 5

#jobs = Job.all
render :json => { :status => :success, :data => (ActiveModel::ArraySerializer.new(#jobs, each_serializer: JobSerializer))
For has_many association to work, the association needs to be defined in both the model and serializer
class JobSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
has_many :association
end
class Section < ApplicationRecord
has_many :association
end
