Removing child root nodes in RABL

Question

I\'m trying to render a pretty simple data structure using RABL, but I can\'t figure out how to remove the child root nodes properly. Here are my two templates.

Answer 1

This is the usual way of removing the root json (rather than specifying object_root: false)

config/initializers/rabl_config.rb

Rabl.configure do |config|
  config.include_json_root = false
end

Does moving that to there (and restarting rails), fix it?

Answer 2

On latest versions of Rabl, you have to set this configuration if you want include_root_json to be false in all levels.

Rabl.configure do |config|
  config.include_json_root = false
  config.include_child_root = false
end

Answer 3

Try replacing:

    child :files do
      extends 'groups/_file'
    end

with:

    node :files do |group|
      group.files.map do |file|
        partial 'groups/_file', object: file, root: false
      end
    end

Answer 4

just putting it out there, in case you want to apply it for a specific child:

child :files, :object_root => false do
  extends 'groups/_file'
end
