Serialize data with empty [] attributes

[geoffreyLB]

When I'm declaring an empty attributes (according to json.api.org) attributes: [] to get default value. I should have first_name, and last_name, but this is what the response looks :

{
    "data": {
        "data": {
            "type": "users",
            "id": "1c8877a7-d7e4-4d0a-b3be-c5f62ee17686"
        }
    }
}

this is what my serializer looks :

new Serializer('user', {
        attributes: [],
        ref: true,
        included: false
   });

Indeed, I have the same question.

Are you referring to the fact that, unless the request specifies the fields query parameter, JSON API responses are supposed to include all attributes (https://jsonapi.org/format/#fetching-sparse-fieldsets)? Because I don't think attributes corresponds to fields in that way. attributes in jsonapi-serializer just refers to the subset of attributes that should be serialized, out of the set of keys on the data you pass in. For example, your model might include a foreign key field (e.g. author_id), but you never want that in a JSON API request/response, so you wouldn't ever include it in the attributes list.
