I use AMS associations extensively -- thanks for doing this, I'd love to see this get merged!

hey @julienbourdeau - any chance you can review/approve this? It would help me & @ivancevich greatly!

Hi @yanismydj and @kyreeves! I will deal with this PR this week :) Thanks for pinging us

@chloelbn / @julienbourdeau any update on this?

Changing from reading only :attributes to reading all relationships would be a breaking change. Do you see a way in which this would be an option to make it non-breaking? Thanks!

Hi, I know this is an old PR but I wanted to share my work around for this as it may help others in the future.

Instead of directly passing an active model serializer to use_serializer I pass it a "delegator" class that allows me to return the serialized json object with nested associations.

First we create a delegator

class Search::SerializerDelegator
  attr_accessor :object

  def attributes(*attrs)
    serializer.new(object).as_json
  end

  def initialize(object)
    @object = object
  end

  private

  def serializer
    "Search::Serializers::#{object.class.name}Serializer".constantize
  end
end

We then use the delegator instead of using the Active Model Serializer directly

  algoliasearch do
    use_serializer Search::SerializerDelegator
    searchableAttributes ["title" "body"]
  end

The delegator initializes the matching model serializer and then calls #as_json instead of #attributes.
