It should work today. If it does not, it's a bug.

By the way, ActiveModel::Serializers is part of the Rails API project[1], and we'd love some thoughts on how to make it work well with Angular.

The only issue that's been biting me when using ActiveModel::Serializers and AngularJS is that we must manually return the json with the root: false option set, otherwise the AngularJS $resource provider doesn't work correctly.

If it helps you can make that the default for all your serializers, by doing something like this in an initializer:

    ActiveSupport.on_load(:active_model_serializers) do
      ActiveModel::ArraySerializer.root = false
      ActiveModel::Serializer.root = false
    end
