How to serialize ecto Struct into json

[magic tangle]

is there any simple way to serialize these structs easly with a derive or something similar (like Rust serde)?

Basically what i want to do

user = Repo.get(User, id)
json(%{user: user})

yes, there is, assuming you're using jason as your JSON encoder: https://hexdocs.pm/jason/Jason.Encoder.html

I wanted to do it without manual implementations of the serialization.
Just wanted to place something like

@derive {Jason.Encoder, except: [:__meta__]}

[steady yew]

it works exactly like that... are you having trouble getting it to work?

If you're using ecto, you can place that right above the schema declaration.
