The result after serialize will not have `included` if the input doesn't have attributes

Considering this data
{
id: 'u999',
name: 'Awesome Project',
description: 'This is an awesome project',
format: {
id: 'u1',
inputFormats: [ 'u45', 'u46' ],
outputFormats: [ 'u47', 'u48' ],
}
}
with this serializer
serializer.register("projects", {
whitelist: ["name", "description"],
relationships: {
format: {
type: 'format',
}
},
});
serializer.register("format", {
relationships: {
inputFormats: {
type: 'inputFormats',
},
outputFormats: {
type: 'outputFormats',
}
}
});
After serializing the data, it will not serialize the [ 'u45', 'u46' ] and [ 'u47', 'u48' ] and include the results in the included, unless I have some attributes in the format serializer and provide that attributes in the format in the data
Another thing is I can't have an empty list of attributes (whitelist). AFAIK JSON API doesn't say we have to have attributes in the resource
it closes the first issue you mentioned.
For the empty list of attributes a major version is required because the default value of this option is a currently empty list.
It needed a new issue.
@yidongw Actually, a possible workaround to have an empty list of attributes is to use the option like that: whitelist: ['']
