Deep associations?

[oleander]

I can't find anything about deep associations in the wiki.

I've this for example;

Gig.includes({song: [{artist: :urls}, :urls]})

I know how to include the first association (song), but how about the rest?

class Gig < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :song

  acts_as_api

  api_accessible :my_api do |t| 
    t.add :song
  end
end

Hi :)

in fact acts_as_api works extremely well when you need to render deep nested model data.

You can see an example here in the wiki: https://github.com/fabrik42/acts_as_api/wiki/Including-a-child-association

The important part:

If the model Task has also an api template with the same name (in this case :user_with_tasks), this will automatically be taken for rendering!

An example would be:

class Gig < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :song

  acts_as_api

  api_accessible :my_api do |t| 
    t.add :song
  end
end

class Song < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :artist

  acts_as_api

  api_accessible :my_api do |t| 
    t.add :artist
  end
end

class Artist < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :urls

  acts_as_api

  api_accessible :my_api do |t| 
    t.add :urls
  end
end

Maybe this is not clear in the wiki. :(
Do you have any recommendations how we could improve it?

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry for the delayed reply.
I'll give it a try and see if I can come up with something clearer for the wiki.

Thanks.

Closing this for now.
@oleander If you still face problems, reopen the issue to let me know :)

Cheers,
