Using class methods in api_accessible definition

[fabrik42]

Hi!

If you want to add the attributes in the way you described above, you need to define your short_attributes method above the api_accessible call (it is really a call and get evaluated at this very point in the code).

class Sazba < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_api

  def self.short_attributes
    [:jistina, :urok]
  end

  api_accessible :short do |template|
    for att in Sazba.short_attributes
      template.add att
    end
  end
end

For lazy evaluation have a look at https://github.com/fabrik42/acts_as_api/wiki/Calling-a-lambda-in-the-api-template

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Christian
