active_model_serializers: Meta key not being picked up !!

Custom meta not showing up even with root on active_model_serializers (0.9.3).

render :json => @place, :serializer => PlaceSerializer, :meta => {:content => "10", :type => "success"}

is working fine and meta is retrieved, however with:

render :json => @place, :serializer => PlaceSerializer, :meta => {:content => "10", :type => "success"}, :meta_key => 'message'

it’s not giving any meta or message.

Ah, I see that now @NeoElit. Is there a reason you don’t want to use meta for the details and status just for the http status code? I have a work around for this, but it involved making the whole return object separately, not in the render statement.

First I serialize the data by doing either: serialized_data = ActiveModel::ArraySerializer.new(data, each_serializer: serializer_name, root: false) or serialized_data = serializer_name.new(data, root: false)

And then I construct the response object:

response = {
      results: data,
      details: details,
      meta_key_or_whatever_you_want_to_call_it: meta(request, query, error)
    }

and then I send it back: render json: response, status: code
