      # To include the result of some method calls on the model use <tt>:methods</tt>:
      #
      #   user.as_json(methods: :permalink)
      #   # => { "id" => 1, "name" => "Konata Izumi", "age" => 16,

      #   #      "permalink" => "1-konata-izumi" }
      #
      # To include associations use <tt>:include</tt>:
      #
      #   user.as_json(include: :posts)
      #   # => { "id" => 1, "name" => "Konata Izumi", "age" => 16,
