Add the xml format to the controller

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.xml { render :xml => @product }
      format.atom
    end
  end

Fetch the XML, see that there are no orders there

curl --silent --user dave:secret http://localhost:3000/products/2/who_bought.atom
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xml:lang="en-US" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

Include "orders" in the response

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.xml { render xml: @product.to_xml(include: :orders) }
      format.atom
    end
  end

Fetch the xml, see that the orders are included

curl --silent --user dave:secret http://localhost:3000/products/2/who_bought.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<product>
  <created-at type="datetime">2011-10-29T07:11:56Z</created-at>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;
        CoffeeScript is JavaScript done right. It provides all of JavaScript's
	functionality wrapped in a cleaner, more succinct syntax. In the first
	book on this exciting new language, CoffeeScript guru Trevor Burnham
	shows you how to hold onto all the power and flexibility of JavaScript
	while writing clearer, cleaner, and safer code.

      <updated-at type="datetime">2011-10-29T07:18:31Z</updated-at>
    </order>
  </orders>
</product>

Define an HTML view

edit app/views/products/who_bought.html.erb
<h3>People Who Bought <%= @product.title %></h3>
 
<ul>
  <% for order in @product.orders %>
    <li>
      <%= mail_to order.email, order.name %>
    </li>
  <% end %>
</ul>

Add the html format to the controller

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
      format.xml { render xml: @product.to_xml(include: :orders) }
      format.atom
    end
  end

See the (raw) HTML

Anything that XML can do, JSON can too...

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
      format.xml { render xml: @product.to_xml(include: :orders) }
      format.atom
      format.json { render json: @product.to_json(include: :orders) }
    end
  end

Fetch the data in JSON format

curl --silent --user dave:secret http://localhost:3000/products/2/who_bought.json
{"created_at":"2011-10-29T07:11:56Z","description":"<p>\n        CoffeeScript is JavaScript done right. It provides all of JavaScript's\n\tfunctionality wrapped in a cleaner, more succinct syntax. In the first\n\tbook on this exciting new language, CoffeeScript guru Trevor Burnham\n\tshows you how to hold onto all the power and flexibility of JavaScript\n\twhile writing clearer, cleaner, and safer code.\n      </p>","id":2,"image_url":"cs.jpg","price":"36.0","title":"CoffeeScript","updated_at":"2011-10-29T07:11:56Z","orders":[{"address":"123 Main St","created_at":"2011-10-29T07:18:31Z","email":"customer@example.com","id":1,"name":"Dave Thomas","pay_type":"Check","updated_at":"2011-10-29T07:18:31Z"}]}

Customize the xml

edit app/views/products/who_bought.xml.builder
xml.order_list(:for_product => @product.title) do
  for o in @product.orders
    xml.order do
      xml.name(o.name)
      xml.email(o.email)
    end
  end
end

Change the rendering to use templates

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb
  def who_bought
    @product = Product.find(params[:id])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
      format.xml
      format.atom
      format.json { render json: @product.to_json(include: :orders) }
    end
  end

Fetch the (much streamlined) XML

curl --silent --user dave:secret http://localhost:3000/products/2/who_bought.xml
<order_list for_product="CoffeeScript">
  <order>
    <name>Dave Thomas</name>
    <email>customer@example.com</email>
  </order>
</order_list>
