Hi!

I’ve got a resource with a bunch of attributes that show up in the json response when queried, but this response does not included any aggregates on the resource.

Do I have to do anything to add aggregates to the json api response?

Ah, right okay that will be a straightforward fix. Can you open an issue on ash_json_api?

Here is a trace:

 ** (UndefinedFunctionError) function nil.embedded?/0 is undefined

 nil.embedded?()

Let me know if this helps :slight_smile:

Ah, I was wrong, it looks like default_fields is on a route by route basis. We should probably add a top level version of that as well.

Got a stack trace for that error? I think there is likely a bug somewhere :slight_smile:

Thanks for answering @zachdaniel . default_fields is what I’m looking for, however, trying that is throwing a no such import default_fields/1 error. Any idea why?

Also trying fields[json_api_resource_type]="foo,aggregate_bar" throws an error as well:
** (UndefinedFunctionError) function nil.embedded?/0 is undefined

This only happens when I add the aggregate field aggregate_bar to the fields query

The JSON:API provides the fields query option, which controls what fields to return for an individual resource type. For example, fields[type]=foo,bar would return the foo and bar fields for anything w/ type type. The default value of fields is just the attributes. You can set the default_fields to include the attributes and aggregates, or request them on demand.

i.e

json_api do
  default_fields [:foo, :bar, :baz]
  ...
end

or
?fields[type]=foo,bar,baz
