Strange `undefined method model_url` error. Am I missing something with decent exposure? Is the namespace on the controller causing an issue?
class Api::PreordersController < ApplicationController
respond_to :json
expose :preorder, attributes: :preorder_params
def create
preorder.save
respond_with preorder # does not work
# respond_with preorder, location: api_preorder_url(preorder) # works
