module Sequel::Plugins::JsonSerializer::DatasetMethods

Public Instance Methods

to_json(*a) click to toggle source

Return a JSON string representing an array of all objects in this dataset. Takes the same options as the instance method, and passes them to every instance. Additionally, respects the following options:

:array

An array of instances. If this is not provided, calls all on the receiver to get the array.

:root

If set to :collection, wraps the collection in a root object using the pluralized, underscored model name as the key. If set to :instance, only wraps the instances in a root object. If set to :both, wraps both the collection and instances in a root object. If set to a string, wraps the collection in a root object using the string as the key.
