#respond_to?(name, include_private = false) ⇒ true, false

Since method_missing is overridden we should override this as well.

Examples:

Does the proxy respond to the method?

relation.respond_to?(:name)

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The method name.

  • include_private (true, false) (defaults to: false) —

#serializable_hash(options = {}) ⇒ Hash

Gets the document as a serializable hash, used by ActiveModel’s JSON and XML serializers. This override is just to be able to pass the :include and :except options to get associations in the hash.

relation.serializable_hash

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    The options to pass.

Options Hash (options):

  • :include (Symbol) —

    What relations to include

  • :only (Symbol) —

    Limit the fields to only these.

  • :except (Symbol) —

    Dont include these fields.

Returns:

    The documents, ready to be serialized.
