feature request: conditional statements in api template about acts_as_api

[fabrik42]

Hi,
this seems to be a neat idea.

I would want to check for these attributes at rendering time. So I propose to do it the same way activerecord validations and callbacks work, e.g.:

t.add :favorite_beer, :if => lambda{|u| user.age > 21 }

and

t.add :favorite_beer, :if => :is_adult?

to call a method of the model instance.

What do you think?

that sounds terrific -- very straight-forward. i like it.

Hey,
I just released acts_as_api 0.3.3 which adds support for the :if and :unless options.
