Remove 'attributes' nesting?

[davidmcginn]

Hi,
I have a class extending ActiveYaml::Base as below:

class Item < ActiveYaml::Base
  set_root_path Rails.root.join('db', 'static')
  field :name
end

# items.yml
- id: 1
  name: Animal Welfare
- id: 2
  name: Climate Change
- id: 3
  name: Asylum Seekers

However when I query the data, it always comes back nested under an attributes key.

irb(main):020:0> Item.all.as_json
=> [{"attributes"=>{"id"=>1, "name"=>"Animal Welfare"}}, {"attributes"=>{"id"=>2, "name"=>"Climate Change"}}, {"attributes"=>{"id"=>3, "name"=>"Asylum Seekers"}}]

irb(main):023:0> Item.first.as_json
=> {"attributes"=>{"id"=>1, "name"=>"Animal Welfare"}}

Is there a reason why this has to be the case, or can I remove it somehow? It's a bit annoying because I'll eventually want to start using ActiveRecord, and then we'll have to update the client to stop looking for that key or else start adding it in to the DB records.
Thanks

I just saw that there is an open PR for this: #196

In the meantime, adding this line to the class works:

  include ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON
