FriendlyId is the “Swiss Army bulldozer” of slugging and permalink plugins for ActiveRecord. It allows you to create pretty URL’s and work with human-friendly strings as if they were numeric ids for ActiveRecord models.

Add a method to return a hash of relationship friendly_ids? #964

I am using https://github.com/jsonapi-serializer/jsonapi-serializer for an API in my app. I want to use my Friendly IDs to hide the actual DB id.

In the json gem you can call a custom method to get the ids of the relationship. It's an extension of something like this:

class MyModel
  has_many :tasks
end

pry>MyModel.last.task_ids
=> [32475, 32471, 32472, 32473, 32474]

It looks to me that there is no Friendly id equivalent like:

pry>MyModel.last.friendly_task_ids
=> ['task-32475', 'task-32471', 'task-32472', 'task-32473', 'task-32474']

Does this exist in the existing code somewhere?

If not is there an appetite to add this?

I can add these custom methods in all my models but having this built in to Friendly ID would be better.

It seems as 'easy' as adding:

relationship_name.pluck(:slug_column_name)

No, we try to keep the maintenance overhead as low as possible so I don't think this is something we want to support. Thanks for checking!

No worries - figured I would ask first. I think I may just roll my own Module etc to add this where needed. Right now I am just adding these manually.
