render to_json has_many array display

Show all headers | View raw

I have an ActiveRecord class with a has_many of another class.  All works fine to query the first and add the second with to_json.  However, how can i display the class B data in a more precise format?

    ss = ShirtSet.select("shirt_sets.id")
    render :json => ss.to_json(:include => {:shirt => {:only => :name}})

[{"id":"SHIRT SET 1","shirts":[{"name":"shirt1"},{"name":"shirt 2"},{"name":"shirt 3"}]}]

when what i really want is:

[{"id":"SHIRT SET 1","shirts":["shirt1","shirt 2","shirt 3"}]

is there a way to easily do that with to_json (maybe the :method helper?)
