JSON is not nested in rails view
- by SeanGeneva
I have a several models in a heirarchy, 1:many at each level. Each class is associated only with the class above it and the one below it, ie:
L1 course,
L2 unit,
L3 unit layout,
L4 layout fields,
L5 table fields (not in code, but a sibling of layout fields)
I am trying to build a JSON response of the entire hierarchy.
def show
@course = Course.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.json do
@course = Course.find(params[:id])
@units = @course.units.all
@unit_layouts = UnitLayout.where(:unit_id => @units)
@layout_fields = LayoutField.where(:unit_layout_id => @unit_layouts)
response = {:course => @course, :units => @units, :unit_layouts => @unit_layouts, :layout_fields => @layout_fields}
respond_to do |format|
format.json {render :json => response }
end
end
end
end
The code is bring back the correct values, but the units, unit_layouts and layout_fields are all nested at the same level under course. I would like them to be nested inside their parent.
