When converting a collection from Her to JSON in our rails application, attempting just a simple collection.to_json would result in SystemStackError: stack level too deep. In order to get around this, I needed to get the fetched data from the collection, and convert that to JSON. Doing this directly, however, would result in a lot of metadata included as well, which isn't desirable.
I came up with the following as a workaround, I'm sure there's possibly better ways of doing this, but this is what I've managed:
collection.fetch.map { |item| item.attributes }.to_jsonHopefully this helps someone, or at least future me!
