def find_or_initialize_by(attrs = {}, type = nil, &block)
  find_or(:build, attrs, type, &block)
end

#respond_to?(name, include_private = false) ⇒ `true` | `false`

Since method_missing is overridden we should override this as well.

Examples:

relation.respond_to?(:name)

Parameters:

name (Symbol) —

include_private (true | false) (defaults to: false) —

(true | false) —

Get the scoped association.

relation.scoped

Returns:

(Criteria) —

def scoped
  criteria
end

#serializable_hash(options = {}) ⇒ Hash

Gets the document as a serializable hash, used by ActiveModel’s JSON and XML serializers. This override is just to be able to pass the :include and :except options to get associations in the hash.

Examples:

Get the serializable hash.

relation.serializable_hash

Parameters:

options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

The options to pass.

Options Hash (options):

:except (Symbol | String | Array<Symbol | String>) —

Do not include these field(s).
:include (Symbol | String | Array<Symbol | String>) —

Which association(s) to include.
:only (Symbol | String | Array<Symbol | String>) —

Limit the field(s) to only these.

Returns:

(Hash) —

The documents, ready to be serialized.

#unscoped ⇒ Criteria

Get a criteria for the embedded documents without the default scoping applied.
