Example¶ ↑

Redefine to_xml() and to_json() with def params as :only => [:id, :login, :password]

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  exposable_attributes :id, :login, :password
end

Redefine to_json method only, to_xml will be defined as usual

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  exposable_attributes :json, :only => [:id, :login]
end

Redefine to_xml only with “except” statement

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  exposable_attributes :xml,  :except => [:encrypted_password, :salt, :single_access_token]
end

Redefine both to_xml and to_json

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  exposable_attributes :json, :xml, :except => [:encrypted_password, :salt, :single_access_token]
end
