I'm developing an Android client using the Forem API. It's just a pet project, so I'm keeping the UI very similar to that of the DEV android app. However, I'm having trouble replicating some of the designs because the API does not seem to return an equivalent JSON response, especially for the comments endpoint.
While I'm a complete Ruby noob, I decided to check out the Forem repository on Github. After digging into the source code a bit, it seems that the comment DB model does indeed have, for example, the body_markdown or public_reactions_count attributes:
create_table "comments", force: :cascade do |t|
t.text "body_markdown"
...
t.integer "positive_reactions_count", default: 0, null: false
...
end
But looking at the comments_controller.rb file, they are not included in the JSON response:
ATTRIBUTES_FOR_SERIALIZATION = %i[
id processed_html user_id ancestry deleted hidden_by_commentable_user created_at
].freeze
It would be great if the comment endpoint, like the article endpoint, also returned the body_markdown and public_reactions_count properties?

Awesome!
