Oops, I had a typo in my MyController pseudo code.

It should be this:

class MyController < ApplicationControllerrespond_to :jsondef show@user = User.find(params[:id]) respond_with(@user , :include => {:addresses => {:include => :email}}) end

Which I want to refactor with something like this in the model: def as_json(options={})super(:only => [:email, :avatar], :include =>[:addresses => {:include => :email}])end

But I get an undefined method `macro' for nil:NilClass

Given the following example from your blog post:

def as_json(options={}) super(:only => [:email, :avatar], :include =>[:addresses]) end

when overriding the as_json method, if I want to include nested child nodes, how would I go about doing so? I essentially want to refactor the respond_with usage in my controller by just overriding the as_json method in the model.

class MyController < ApplicationController respond_to :json def show @user = User.find(params[:id]) respond_with(@tag, :include => {:addresses => {:include => :email}}) end
