Include calculation in response alongside public fields?
✅SolvedAshJsonApi
I have a resource exposed over Ash JSON API, and so far I've been relying on the fact that public attributes are sent by default in the response. Now I've added a calculation, which I've made public.
I realized that it's not automatically added to the response by default (which makes sense, as calculations may be expensive), and it looks like I have two options:
- Use
- Let the client ask for the fields they want, including the calculation.
I was really hoping for a third option, which would let me somehow specify that I'd like to include this calculation by default alongside the public fields (without having to list them). My worry is I'll forget to add new public fields to this list, or that i'll accidentally add a field which isn't public.
Am i missing something?
