active_model_serializers/lib/action_controller/serialization.rb

module ActionController
  # Action Controller Serialization
  #
  # Overrides render :json to check if the given object implements +active_model_serializer+
  # as a method. If so, use the returned serializer instead of calling +to_json+ in the object.
  #
  # This module also provides a serialization_scope method that allows you to configure the
  # +serialization_scope+ of the serializer. Most apps will likely set the +serialization_scope+
  # to the current user:
  #
  #    class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  #      serialization_scope :current_user
  #    end
  #
  # If you need more complex scope rules, you can simply override the serialization_scope:
  #
  #    class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  #      private
  #
  #      def serialization_scope
  #        current_user
  #      end
  #    end
  #
