- # Deserialization
4
-
5
- This is currently an *experimental* feature. The interface may change.
6
-
7
- ## JSON API
8
-
9
- The `ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization` defines two methods (namely `jsonapi_parse` and `jsonapi_parse!`), which take a `Hash` or an instance of `ActionController::Parameters` representing a JSON API payload, and return a hash that can directly be used to create/update models. The bang version throws an `InvalidDocument` exception when parsing fails, whereas the "safe" version simply returns an empty hash.
10
-
11
- - Parameters
12
- - document: `Hash` or `ActionController::Parameters` instance
13
- - options:
14
- - only: `Array` of whitelisted fields
15
- - except: `Array` of blacklisted fields
16
- - keys: `Hash` of fields the name of which needs to be modified (e.g. `{ :author => :user, :date => :created_at }`)
17
-
18
- Examples:
19
-
20
- ```ruby
21
- class PostsController < ActionController::Base
22
- def create
23
- Post.create(create_params)
24
- end
25
-
26
- def create_params
27
- ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization.jsonapi_parse(params, only: [:title, :content, :author])
28
- end
29
- end
30
- ```
31
-
32
-
33
-
34
- Given a JSON API document,
35
-
36
- ```
37
- document = {
38
- 'data' => {
39
- 'id' => 1,
40

72
- #=>
73

74
- # title: 'Title 1',
75

- # second_author_id: nil
78
- # comment_ids: [3, 4]
79
- # }
80
- ```
81
-
82
- and fields, relationships, and polymorphic relationships can be specified via the options:
83
-
84
- ```ruby
85
- ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization
86
- .jsonapi_parse(document, only: [:title, :date, :author],
87

5
- ## Creating a Serializer
6
-
7
- The easiest way to create a new serializer is to generate a new resource, which
8
- will generate a serializer at the same time:
9
-
10
- ```
11
- $ rails g resource post title:string body:string
12
- ```
13
-
14
- This will generate a serializer in `app/serializers/post_serializer.rb` for
15
- your new model. You can also generate a serializer for an existing model with
16
- the serializer generator:
17
-
18
- ```
19
- $ rails g serializer post
20
- ```
21
-
22
- The generated serializer will contain basic `attributes` and
23
- `has_many`/`has_one`/`belongs_to` declarations, based on the model. For example:
24
-
25
- ```ruby
26
- class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
27
- attributes :title, :body
28
-
29
- has_many :comments
30
- has_one :author
31
- end
32
- ```
33
-
34
- and
35
-
36
- ```ruby
37
- class CommentSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
38
- attributes :name, :body
39
-
40
- belongs_to :post_id
41
- end
42
- ```
43
-
44
- The attribute names are a **whitelist** of attributes to be serialized.
45
-
46
- The `has_many`, `has_one`, and `belongs_to` declarations describe relationships between
47
- resources. By default, when you serialize a `Post`, you will get its `Comments`
48
- as well.
49
-
50
- For more information, see [Serializers](/docs/general/serializers.md).
51
-
52
- ### Namespaced Models
53
-
54
- When serializing a model inside a namespace, such as `Api::V1::Post`, ActiveModelSerializers will expect the corresponding serializer to be inside the same namespace (namely `Api::V1::PostSerializer`).
55
-
56
- ### Model Associations and Nested Serializers
57
-
58
- When declaring a serializer for a model with associations, such as:
59
- ```ruby
60
- class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
61
- has_many :comments
62
- end
63
- ```
64
- ActiveModelSerializers will look for `PostSerializer::CommentSerializer` in priority, and fall back to `::CommentSerializer` in case the former does not exist. This allows for more control over the way a model gets serialized as an association of an other model.
65
-
66
- For example, in the following situation:
67
-
68
- ```ruby
69
- class CommentSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
70
- attributes :body, :date, :nb_likes
71
- end
72
-
73
- class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
74
- has_many :comments
75
- class CommentSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
76
- attributes :body_short
77
- end
78
- end
79
- ```

- ActiveModelSerializers will use `PostSerializer::CommentSerializer` (thus including only the `:body_short` attribute) when serializing a `Comment` as part of a `Post`, but use `::CommentSerializer` when serializing a `Comment` directly (thus including `:body, :date, :nb_likes`).
82
-
83
- ### Extending a Base `ApplicationSerializer`
84
-
85
- By default, new serializers descend from `ActiveModel::Serializer`. However, if
86
- you wish to share behavior across your serializers, you can create an
87
- `ApplicationSerializer` at `app/serializers/application_serializer.rb`:
88
-
89
- ```ruby
90
- class ApplicationSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
91
- end
92
- ```
93
-
94
- Then any newly-generated serializers will automatically descend from
95
- `ApplicationSerializer`.
96
-
97
- ```
98
- $ rails g serializer post
99
- ```
100
-
101
- Now generates:
102
-
103
- ```ruby
104
- class PostSerializer < ApplicationSerializer
105
- attributes :id
106
- end
107
- ````
108
-
109
- ## Rails Integration
110
-
111
- ActiveModelSerializers will automatically integrate with your Rails app,
112
- so you won't need to update your controller.
113
- This is a example of how the controller will look:
114
-
115
- ```ruby
116
- class PostsController < ApplicationController
117
-
118
- def show
119
- @post = Post.find(params[:id])
120
- render json: @post
121
- end
122
-
123
- end
124
- ```
125
-
126
- If you wish to use Rails url helpers for link generation, e.g., `link(:resources) { resources_url }`, ensure your application sets
127
- `Rails.application.routes.default_url_options`.
128
-
129
- ```ruby
130
- Rails.application.routes.default_url_options = {
131
- host: 'example.com'
132
- }
133
- ```

- ### Implicit Serializer
6
-
7
- In your controllers, when you use `render :json`, Rails will now first search
8
- for a serializer for the object and use it if available.
9
-
10
- ```ruby
11
- class PostsController < ApplicationController
12
- def show
13
- @post = Post.find(params[:id])
14
-
15
- render json: @post
16
- end
17
- end
18
- ```
19
-
20
- In this case, Rails will look for a serializer named `PostSerializer`, and if
21
- it exists, use it to serialize the `Post`.
22
-
23
- ### Explicit Serializer
24
-
25
- If you wish to use a serializer other than the default, you can explicitly pass it to the renderer.
26
-
27
- #### 1. For a resource:
28
-
29
- ```ruby
30
- render json: @post, serializer: PostPreviewSerializer
31
- ```
32
-
33
- #### 2. For a resource collection:
34
-
35
- Specify the serializer for each resource with `each_serializer`
36
-
37
- ```ruby
38
- render json: @posts, each_serializer: PostPreviewSerializer
39
- ```
40
-
41
- The default serializer for collections is `CollectionSerializer`.
42
-
43
- Specify the collection serializer with the `serializer` option.
44
-
45
- ```ruby
46
- render json: @posts, serializer: CollectionSerializer, each_serializer: PostPreviewSerializer
47
- ```
48
-
49
- ## Serializing non-ActiveRecord objects
50
-
51
- All serializable resources must pass the
52
- [ActiveModel::Serializer::Lint::Tests](../../lib/active_model/serializer/lint.rb#L17).
53
-
54
- See the ActiveModelSerializers::Model for a base class that implements the full
55
- API for a plain-old Ruby object (PORO).
56
-
57
- ## SerializableResource options
58
-
59
- The `options` hash passed to `render` or `ActiveModelSerializers::SerializableResource.new(resource, options)`
60
- are partitioned into `serializer_opts` and `adapter_opts`. `adapter_opts` are passed to new Adapters;
61
- `serializer_opts` are passed to new Serializers.
62
-
63
- The `adapter_opts` are specified in [ActiveModelSerializers::SerializableResource::ADAPTER_OPTIONS](../../lib/active_model_serializers/serializable_resource.rb#L5).
64
- The `serializer_opts` are the remaining options.
65
-
66
- (In Rails, the `options` are also passed to the `as_json(options)` or `to_json(options)`
67
- methods on the resource serialization by the Rails JSON renderer. They are, therefore, important
68
- to know about, but not part of ActiveModelSerializers.)

87
-
88
- #### meta
89
-
90
- A `meta` member can be used to include non-standard meta-information. `meta` can
91
- be utilized in several levels in a response.
92
-
93
- ##### Top-level
94
-
95
- To set top-level `meta` in a response, specify it in the `render` call.
96
-
97
- ```ruby
98
- render json: @post, meta: { total: 10 }
99
- ```
100
-
101
- The key can be customized using `meta_key` option.
102
-
103
- ```ruby
104
- render json: @post, meta: { total: 10 }, meta_key: "custom_meta"
105
- ```
106
-
107
- `meta` will only be included in your response if you are using an Adapter that
108
- supports `root`, e.g., `JsonApi` and `Json` adapters. The default adapter,
109
- `Attributes` does not have `root`.
110
-
111
-
112
- ##### Resource-level
113
-
114
- To set resource-level `meta` in a response, define meta in a serializer with one
115
- of the following methods:
116
-
117
- As a single, static string.
118
-
119
- ```ruby
120
- meta stuff: 'value'
121
- ```
122
-
123
- As a block containing a Hash.
124
-
125
- ```ruby
126
- meta do
127
- {
128
- rating: 4,
129
- comments_count: object.comments.count
130
- }
131
- end
132
- ```
133
-
134
-
135
- #### links
136
-
137
- If you wish to use Rails url helpers for link generation, e.g., `link(:resources) { resources_url }`, ensure your application sets
138
- `Rails.application.routes.default_url_options`.
139
-
140
- ##### Top-level
141
-
142
- JsonApi supports a [links object](http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-links) to be specified at top-level, that you can specify in the `render`:
143
-
144
- ```ruby
145
- links_object = {
146
- href: "http://example.com/api/posts",
147
- meta: {
148
- count: 10
149
- }
150
- }
151
- render json: @posts, links: links_object
152
- ```
153
-
154
- That's the result:
155
-
156
- ```json
157
- {
158
- "data": [
159
- {
160
- "type": "posts",
161
- "id": "1",
162
- "attributes": {
163
- "title": "JSON API is awesome!",
164
- "body": "You should be using JSON API",

- "created": "2015-05-22T14:56:29.000Z",
166
- "updated": "2015-05-22T14:56:28.000Z"

- "meta": {
173
- "count": 10
174
- }
175
- }
176
- }
177
- ```
178
-
179
- This feature is specific to JsonApi, so you have to use the use the [JsonApi Adapter](adapters.md#jsonapi)
180
-
181
-
182
- ##### Resource-level
183
-
184
- In your serializer, define each link in one of the following methods:
185
-
186
- As a static string
187
-
188
- ```ruby
189
- link :link_name, 'https://example.com/resource'
190
- ```
191
-
192
- As a block to be evaluated. When using Rails, URL helpers are available.
193
- Ensure your application sets `Rails.application.routes.default_url_options`.
194
-
195
- ```ruby
196
- link :link_name_ do
197
- "https://example.com/resource/#{object.id}"
198
- end
199
-
200
- link(:link_name) { "https://example.com/resource/#{object.id}" }
201
-
202
- link(:link_name) { resource_url(object) }
203
-
204
- link(:link_name) { url_for(controller: 'controller_name', action: 'index', only_path: false) }

214
- #### Overriding the root key
215
-
216
- Overriding the resource root only applies when using the JSON adapter.
217
-
218
- Normally, the resource root is derived from the class name of the resource being serialized.
219
- e.g. `UserPostSerializer.new(UserPost.new)` will be serialized with the root `user_post` or `user_posts` according the adapter collection pluralization rules.
220
-
221
- When using the JSON adapter in your initializer (ActiveModelSerializers.config.adapter = :json), or passing in the adapter in your render call, you can specify the root by passing it as an argument to `render`. For example:
222
-
223
- ```ruby
224
- render json: @user_post, root: "admin_post", adapter: :json
225
- ```
226
-
227
- This will be rendered as:
228
- ```json
229
- {
230
- "admin_post": {
231
- "title": "how to do open source"
232
- }
233
- }
234
- ```
235
- Note: the `Attributes` adapter (default) does not include a resource root. You also will not be able to create a single top-level root if you are using the :json_api adapter.
