Jason.Encoder not implemented phoenix
I’m currently using a model button that referended is to another list of objects called items
When I make a POST call to the service it returns the following error message:
[error] #PID<0.440.0> running BuyButtonServiceWeb.Endpoint (connection #PID<0.430.0>, stream id 3) terminated
Server: localhost:4000 (http)
Request: POST /button
** (exit) an exception was raised:
** (Protocol.UndefinedError) protocol Jason.Encoder not implemented for %BuyButtonService.Dashboard.Item{__meta__: #Ecto.Schema.Metadata<:loaded, "items">, button: #Ecto.Association.NotLoaded<association :button is not loaded>, buttonId: 1, button_id: nil, id: 1, ingredient: "string", inserted_at: ~U[2021-01-20 14:52:19Z], productId: 0, quantity: 0, updated_at: ~U[2021-01-20 14:52:19Z]} of type BuyButtonService.Dashboard.Item (a struct), Jason.Encoder protocol must always be explicitly implemented.
If you own the struct, you can derive the implementation specifying which fields should be encoded to JSON:
@derive {Jason.Encoder, only: [....]}
defstruct ...
My controller:
def create(conn, %{"button" => button_params}) do
with {:ok, %Button{} = button} <- Dashboard.create_button(button_params) do
conn
|> put_status(:created)
|> put_resp_header("location", Routes.button_path(conn, :show, button))
|> render("show.json", button: button)
end
end
Button model:
defmodule BuyButtonService.Dashboard.Button do
use Ecto.Schema
import Ecto.Changeset
alias BuyButtonService.Dashboard.Item, as: Item
@derive Jason.Encoder
schema "button" do
has_many :items, {"items", Item}, foreign_key: :buttonId
field :name, :string
field :userId, :integer
timestamps([type: :utc_datetime])
end
@doc false
def changeset(button, attrs) do
button
|> cast(attrs, [:userId, :name])
|> cast_assoc(:items, with: &Item.changeset/2)
|> validate_required([:userId, :name, :items])
end
end
Items model:
defmodule BuyButtonService.Dashboard.Item do
use Ecto.Schema
import Ecto.Changeset
alias BuyButtonService.Dashboard.Button, as: Button
schema "items" do
field :buttonId, :integer
belongs_to :button, Button
field :ingredient, :string
field :productId, :integer
field :quantity, :integer
timestamps([type: :utc_datetime])
end
@doc false
def changeset(item, attrs) do
item
|> cast(attrs, [:buttonId, :ingredient, :productId, :quantity])
|> validate_required([:ingredient])
end
end
When using the @derive {Jason.Encoder, only: [....]} it says that there can only be 1 destruct
Can someone tell me how to handle this or have another solution?

Can you post the code that triggers that error? schema uses defstruct as part of its implementation, so you’ll get a similar-sounding error if you write:
defstruct [:some_fields]
schema "items" do # <---- will try to defstruct as well
Side note:
field :buttonId, :integer
belongs_to :button, Button
This is likely not what you want - unless your table has both a buttonId and button_id column ![]()
belongs_to will call field with the value it’s given for foreign_key (or by adding _id on the end of the name if that’s not supplied)

If you read the stack trace, you can see that the first error it shows is this
** (Protocol.UndefinedError) protocol Enumerable not implemented for #Ecto.Association.NotLoaded<association :items is not loaded> of type Ecto.Association.NotLoaded (a struct)
What this error is telling you is that you have fetched a button that has_many items, but you have not fetched the items. The Ecto.Association.NotLoaded struct is the default value if you have not preloaded your associations. To fix this you need to add a preload to your query or somewhere else before your view.
