Hi, I need to create customize json format. I have used many to many relationships with user, tags and taggable. Please find the code below here. User Controller web/models.user_controller.ex defmodule VampDev.UserController do use VampDev.Web, :controller def index(conn, _params) do us…

My suggestion is to use dedicated view for rendering the JSON as you would like, which would, eventually, remove the need of using any external JS to render your data. Btw this JS snippet is … weird. You want to do some requests to localhost and also get PHP page :slight_smile:

To modify json output, You may want to look at Poison and @derive option. You can also implement your own poison encoder. But to keep it simple, it is also possible not to use json(conn, %{user: user}) and use the view with conn |> render(“whatever.json”, user: user) Then, in the correspond…

Thanks for your reply. I have updated the code and getting an error. ArgumentError at GET /api/v1/users Exception: ** (ArgumentError) argument error :erlang.apply([%VampDev.User{__meta__: #Ecto.Schema.Metadata<:loaded, "users">, The user view file: defmodule VampDev.UserView do use VampDev.…
