Hi All,
Just an update for any future people who run into a similar problem.
Turns out my first problem is I was trying to pass in a list of maps, when I actually just wanted a singular map to represent the dictionary.
The solution I finally worked on was to put logic in the view to enumerate through the map and call the render_one function for each of the values and create a new map with the value equal to the view result struct rather than the actual struct.
This looked like as follows
def render("user_with_associations_and_conversations.json", %{
user: user,
associations: associations,
individual_conversations: individual_conversations
}) do
individual_conversations =
Enum.into(
Enum.map(individual_conversations, fn {key, value} ->
{key, render_one(value, ConversationView, "individual_conversation.json")}
end),
%{}
)
%{
data: %{
id: user.id,
email: user.email,
firstName: user.first_name,
lastName: user.last_name,
associations: render_many(associations, AssociationView, "association.json"),
individual_conversations:
individual_conversations
}
}
end
