Accessing the child instance in a RABL template

Question

I have a RABL template as shown below

object @user
attributes :name
child :contacts do
  # does not work
  if contact.is_foo?
    attributes :a1, :a2
  else
         


        

Answer 1

I know it's a late reply but came across the similar problem so thought of answering.

It's more like a hack but works.

When two variables are used as block argument contact and a random variable x, contact refers to an object of the collection

When one variable is used in block argument, it renders collection object

object @user
attributes :name
child :contacts do |contact, x|
  if contact.is_foo?
    attributes :a1, :a2
  else
    attributes :a3, :a4
  end
end
