Pass view to associations

[shayani]

How can I pass the view I'm rendering to nested associations?

Follows an example:

class SchoolBlueprint << Blueprinter::Base 
    field :name
    association :students, blueprint: StudentsBlueprint

    view :detailed do 
        # Want to call the association :students, but with the same view name (detailed)
        # association :students, blueprint: StudentsBlueprint, view: :detailed
    end
end

class UserBlueprint < [Blueprinter](https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/blueprinter/Blueprinter)::[Base](https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/blueprinter/Blueprinter/Base)
  # code
  association :vehicles, view: :extended, blueprint: VehiclesBlueprint
  # code
end

Thanks @Manifold0, but that's not the case.

The goal is to call SchoolBlueprint.render(object, view: :detailed) and pass this detailed attribute to all basic associations on blueprint. The way it is now in the sample code, will be generated 2 students associations: one with detailed and other without.

@shayani I think I understand the problem better now. You want the view parameter from the parent SchoolBlueprint to propagate down to the associations? Unfortunately, I do not know how to do that. I'd be very curious to see if anyone else does, it sounds like a useful option.

This project is all but dead, pls refer here. If you feel this is a genuine usecase pls feel free to raise a PR on the fork, I'd be glad to take it forward..

class SchoolBlueprint << Blueprinter::Base 
    field :name
    field :students do |object, options|
      StudentsBlueprint.render(object.students, view: options[:view])
    end  
end

Thank you @sdrioux!

options[:view] is empty even passing it to the parent blueprinter. Any ideas why?
