How to serialize model for multiple posts?

[julians300]

I want to serialize my post fields on a per route basis. The docs show how to do this with a single but I want them to be serialized a certain way for all.

My current implementation is:

const posts = await Post.query().where('is_published', true);
const serializedPosts = posts.map(post => post.serialize({ fields: ['title', 'author']});

The map seems inefficient. Is there a better way to do this?

Well, there is no way to serialize a post without looping over them. The map is not unefficient until you are looping over tens of thousands of rows.
