I have a serializer
class FundingSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
attributes :id,
has_one :user
has_one :tournament
embed :ids, include: true
end
That initializes with the proper associations
FundingSerializer.new(Funding.first).to_json
yields
"{\"users\":[{\"id\":2,\"first_name\":\"Nick\"}],\"tournaments\":[{\"id\":1,\"end_date\":\"2013-07-21T23:18:54.981Z\",\"start_date\":\"2013-07-14T23:18:54.980Z\"}],\"funding\":{\"id\":1}}"
but,
FundingSerializer.new(Funding.all).to_json
gets this error.

I do not want to simply render json: Funding.all because I would like to pass this json around to other objects in my rails application and with an angularjs app. Thanks,
I think this is what you're looking for:
ActiveModel::ArraySerializer.new(Funding.all, each_serializer: FundingSerializer).to_json
See this Thoughtbot blog post for an example.
