DIY JSON Serializer Lab

Objectives

1. Write a JSON Serializer
2. Use that JSON Serializer to render information without page reload

Introduction

We're going to use our product/order system and enhance it so that customers can browse the product catalog without refreshing the page.

You'll be modifying and building on the code from the previous lab, which is provided.

Instructions

1. Create a ProductSerializer that serializes all of a product's attributes (name, price, inventory and description) to JSON.
2. Create a route and action for /products/:id/data that returns a JSON-serialized product.
3. Create the product show page and route. Add a link to the products show page called "Next Product" that will use AJAX to load the data for the next product without refreshing the page.
4. Make sure tests pass, including already existing ones!

Note: The test suite makes use of selenium-webdriver to test the AJAX-enabled pages. You will need to have Firefox installed for the tests to pass.
