Replaces ActiveModel::Serializers with ActiveModel::Serializer

gistfile1.rb

module JsonSerializationUnifier
  # ActiveModel::Serializer only works in the controller's render method
  # This modue replaces ActiveModel::Serializers with ActiveModel::Serializer
  # yup, a little confusing.  Include in in your model classes so to_json and
  # as_json work as expected in the console and elsewhere.
