Accessing [grand+]child through multiple queries VS having direct reference to the [grand+]parent on every model.
What made me think about this is that I'm using (maybe in the wrong way) some gems like Blueprinter and Amoeba.

Recommended Controllers Serializer Gem?
Blueprinter is something we use on a project, it's also having difficulty staying alive, but right now there is active development here, a fork from the original blueprinted gem.

ActiveModel::Serializer and You
Today I thought I'd run through a few of the powerful things that the ActiveModel::Serializer gem brings to the table when used in a Ruby on Rails application. Sure, there are faster alternatives, but AMS is the first one I learned how to use, and thus it holds a special place in my heart. Quick question before we dive too much deeper, though...

Hunting down spooky JSON module redefinition via Oj
In a happy coincidence, we're knee-deep in the middle of a migration of our serialisers to use Blueprinter instead of AMS. One benefit, in this case, is that it lets you explicitly set what generator you're using, like so:

What is the best way to retrieve all instances of a model, along with it's associations, in an index action when using React (or not Rails Views)?
I've been using Blueprinter so far, and it has been working great, but I'd like to ditch it if I can.

Looking for a full Rswag example project.
We use it extensively for one project. The only annoying bit involves defining the response json-schema. Luckily we are using a gem called blueprinter for JSON serialization, so we added a bunch of overrides that store metadata, so we can generate the json-schema with meta programming. You might need to find a library that would help you write the schemas fluently [1] / [2] to make it easier to define them.
What are some alternatives?
