Help with endpoint for a non-ActiveRecord model without a database table

I have a non-ActiveRercord model without a database table I am trying to create an API endpoint for. The data for this model is populated dynamically with custom SQL and provides generic relations to real ActiveRecords.

Because of all the magic happening with JSONAPI Resources I am having a hard time serializing the array of ActiveModels successfully. Am wondering what the best approach for this might be? I've tried some monkey patching without success and would appreciate guidance

model example

class CalendarEvent
  include ActiveModel::Model

  attr_accessor(
    :id,
    :title,
    # etc etc
  )

  def self.modelize(record)
    return CalendarEvent.new(record)
  end

  def self.records(person_id, start_date, end_date, options = {})
    sql = "select 'some custom sql' from various_table where serious_magic_happens"
    records = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(sql)
    records = records.map{ |r| self.modelize(r) } # returns an Array of CalendarEvent::Class
  end

end

controller attempt

class Api::V3::CalendarEventsController < Api::V3::ApiController

  def index
    records = CalendarEvent.records(1686, '2017-07-01', '2017-07-31')
    resources = records.map { |r| Api::V3::CalendarEventResource.new(r, nil) }
    JSONAPI::ResourceSerializer.new(Api::V3::CalendarEventResource).serialize_to_hash(resources)
  end

end

The above controller returns a 204 No Content even though I am passing serialize_to_hash an array ... am I misunderstanding how this should work ? Or is there a better way?

Thanks!

Beginne mit dem Beispiel des CalendarEvent-Modells und Api::V3::CalendarEventsController und verfolge anschließend, wie JSONAPI::ResourceSerializer das zugeordnete ActiveModel-Array verarbeitet. Reproduziere die 204 No Content-Antwort und untersuche das Verhalten von Resource und Serializer bei Nicht-ActiveRecord-Modellen. Als erledigt gilt die Identifizierung eines unterstützten Serialisierungsansatzes oder die Dokumentation der erforderlichen Integrationsänderungen.
