-# Caching
-
-## Warning
-
-There is currently a problem with caching in AMS [Caching doesn't improve performance](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/issues/1586). Adding caching _may_ slow down your application, rather than speeding it up. We suggest you benchmark any caching you implement before using in a production enviroment
-
-___
-
-To cache a serializer, call ```cache``` and pass its options.
-The options are the same options of ```ActiveSupport::Cache::Store```, plus
-a ```key``` option that will be the prefix of the object cache
-on a pattern ```"#{key}/#{object.id}-#{object.updated_at}"```.
-
-The cache support is optimized to use the cached object in multiple request. An object cached on a ```show``` request will be reused at the ```index```. If there is a relationship with another cached serializer it will also be created and reused automatically.
-
-**[NOTE] Every object is individually cached.**
-
-**[NOTE] The cache is automatically expired after an object is updated, but it's not deleted.**
-
-```ruby
-cache(options = nil) # options: ```{key, expires_in, compress, force, race_condition_ttl}```
-```
-
-Take the example below:
-
-```ruby
-class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-  cache key: 'post', expires_in: 3.hours
-  attributes :title, :body
-
-  has_many :comments
-end
-```
-
-On this example every ```Post``` object will be cached with
-the key ```"post/#{post.id}-#{post.updated_at}"```. You can use this key to expire it as you want,
-but in this case it will be automatically expired after 3 hours.
-
-## Fragment Caching
-
-If there is some API endpoint that shouldn't be fully cached, you can still optimise it, using Fragment Cache on the attributes and relationships that you want to cache.
-
-You can define the attribute by using ```only``` or ```except``` option on cache method.
-
-**[NOTE] Cache serializers will be used at their relationships**
-
-Example:
-
-```ruby
-class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-  cache key: 'post', expires_in: 3.hours, only: [:title]
-  attributes :title, :body
-
-  has_many :comments
-end
-```

-# Configuration Options
-
-The following configuration options can be set on
-`ActiveModelSerializers.config`, preferably inside an initializer.
-
-## General
-
-##### adapter
-
-The [adapter](adapters.md) to use.
-
-Possible values:
-
-- `:attributes` (default)
-- `:json`
-- `:json_api`
-
-##### serializer_lookup_enabled
-
-Enable automatic serializer lookup.
-
-Possible values:
-
-- `true` (default)
-- `false`
-
-When `false`, serializers must be explicitly specified.
-
-##### key_transform
-
-The [key transform](key_transforms.md) to use.
-
-
-| Option | Result |
-|----|----|
-| `:camel` | ExampleKey |
-| `:camel_lower` | exampleKey |
-| `:dash` | example-key |
-| `:unaltered` | the original, unaltered key |
-| `:underscore` | example_key |
-| `nil` | use the adapter default |
-
-Each adapter has a default key transform configured:
-
-| Adapter | Default Key Transform |
-|----|----|
-| `Attributes` | `:unaltered` |
-| `Json` | `:unaltered` |
-| `JsonApi` | `:dash` |
-
-`config.key_transform` is a global override of the adapter default. Adapters
-still prefer the render option `:key_transform` over this setting.
-
-*NOTE: Key transforms can be expensive operations. If key transforms are unnecessary for the
-application, setting `config.key_transform` to `:unaltered` will provide a performance boost.*
-
-##### default_includes
-What relationships to serialize by default.  Default: `'*'`, which includes one level of related
-objects. See [includes](adapters.md#included) for more info.
-
-
-##### serializer_lookup_chain
-
-Configures how serializers are searched for. By default, the lookup chain is
-
-```ruby
-ActiveModelSerializers::LookupChain::DEFAULT
-```
-
-which is shorthand for
-
-```ruby
-[
-  ActiveModelSerializers::LookupChain::BY_PARENT_SERIALIZER,
-  ActiveModelSerializers::LookupChain::BY_NAMESPACE,
-  ActiveModelSerializers::LookupChain::BY_RESOURCE_NAMESPACE,
-  ActiveModelSerializers::LookupChain::BY_RESOURCE
-]
-```
-
-Each of the array entries represent a proc. A serializer lookup proc will be yielded 3 arguments. `resource_class`, `serializer_class`, and `namespace`.
-
-Note that:
- - `resource_class` is the class of the resource being rendered
- - by default `serializer_class` is `ActiveModel::Serializer`
-   - for association lookup it's the "parent" serializer
- - `namespace` correspond to either the controller namespace or the [optionally] specified [namespace render option](./rendering.md#namespace)
-
-An example config could be:
-
-```ruby
-ActiveModelSerializers.config.serializer_lookup_chain = [
-  lambda do |resource_class, serializer_class, namespace|
-    "API::#{namespace}::#{resource_class}"
-  end
-]
-```
-
-If you simply want to add to the existing lookup_chain. Use `unshift`.
-
-```ruby
-ActiveModelSerializers.config.serializer_lookup_chain.unshift(
-  lambda do |resource_class, serializer_class, namespace|
-    # ...
-  end
-)
-```
-
-See [lookup_chain.rb](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/blob/master/lib/active_model_serializers/lookup_chain.rb) for further explanations and examples.
-
-## JSON API
-
-##### jsonapi_resource_type
-
-Sets whether the [type](http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-resource-identifier-objects)
-of the resource should be `singularized` or `pluralized` when it is not
-[explicitly specified by the serializer](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/blob/master/docs/general/serializers.md#type)
-
-Possible values:
-
-- `:singular`
-- `:plural` (default)
-
-##### jsonapi_namespace_separator
-
-Sets separator string for namespaced models to render `type` attribute.
-
-
-| Separator | Example: Admin::User |
-|----|----|
-| `'-'` (default) | 'admin-users'
-| `'--'` (recommended) | 'admin--users'
-
-See [Recommendation for dasherizing (kebab-case-ing) namespaced object, such as `Admin::User`](https://github.com/json-api/json-api/issues/850)
-for more discussion.
-
-##### jsonapi_include_toplevel_object
-
-Include a [top level jsonapi member](http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-jsonapi-object)
-in the response document.
-
-Possible values:
-
-- `true`
-- `false` (default)
-
-##### jsonapi_version
-
-The latest version of the spec to which the API conforms.
-
-Default: `'1.0'`.
-
-*Used when `jsonapi_include_toplevel_object` is `true`*
-
-##### jsonapi_toplevel_meta
-
-Optional top-level metadata. Not included if empty.
-
-Default: `{}`.
-
-*Used when `jsonapi_include_toplevel_object` is `true`*
-

-# Deserialization
-
-This is currently an *experimental* feature. The interface may change.
-
-## JSON API
-
-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.
-
-- Parameters
-  - document: `Hash` or `ActionController::Parameters` instance
-  - options:
-    - only: `Array` of whitelisted fields
-    - except: `Array` of blacklisted fields
-    - keys: `Hash` of fields the name of which needs to be modified (e.g. `{ :author => :user, :date => :created_at }`)
-
-Examples:
-
-```ruby
-class PostsController < ActionController::Base
-  def create
-    Post.create(create_params)
-  end
-
-  def create_params
-    ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization.jsonapi_parse(params, only: [:title, :content, :author])
-  end
-end
-```
-
-
-
-Given a JSON API document,
-
-```
-document = {
-  'data' => {
-    'id' => 1,
-    'type' => 'post',
-    'attributes' => {
-      'title' => 'Title 1',
-      'date' => '2015-12-20'
-    },
-    'relationships' => {
-      'author' => {
-        'data' => {
-          'type' => 'user',
-          'id' => '2'
-        }
-      },
-      'second_author' => {
-        'data' => nil
-      },
-      'comments' => {
-        'data' => [{
-          'type' => 'comment',
-          'id' => '3'
-        },{
-          'type' => 'comment',
-          'id' => '4'
-        }]
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-The entire document can be parsed without specifying any options:
-```ruby
-ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization.jsonapi_parse(document)
-#=>
-# {
-#   title: 'Title 1',
-#   date: '2015-12-20',
-#   author_id: 2,
-#   second_author_id: nil
-#   comment_ids: [3, 4]
-# }
-```
-
-and fields, relationships, and polymorphic relationships can be specified via the options:
-
-```ruby
-ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization
-  .jsonapi_parse(document, only: [:title, :date, :author],
-                           keys: { date: :published_at },
-                           polymorphic: [:author])
-#=>
-# {
-#   title: 'Title 1',
-#   published_at: '2015-12-20',
-#   author_id: '2',
-#   author_type: 'user'
-# }
-```

-## Attributes/Json

-There is currently no deserialization for those adapters.

-# Fields
-
-If for any reason, you need to restrict the fields returned, you should use `fields` option.
-
-For example, if you have a serializer like this
-
-```ruby
-class UserSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-  attributes :access_token, :first_name, :last_name
-end
-```
-
-and in a specific controller, you want to return `access_token` only, `fields` will help you:
-
-```ruby
-class AnonymousController < ApplicationController
-  def create
-    render json: User.create(activation_state: 'anonymous'), fields: [:access_token], status: 201
-  end
-end
-```
-
-Note that this is only valid for the `json` and `attributes` adapter. For the `json_api` adapter, you would use
-
-```ruby
-render json: @user, fields: { users: [:access_token] }
-```
-
-Where `users` is the JSONAPI type.

-# Getting Started
-
-## Creating a Serializer
-
-The easiest way to create a new serializer is to generate a new resource, which
-will generate a serializer at the same time:
-
-```
-$ rails g resource post title:string body:string
-```
-
-This will generate a serializer in `app/serializers/post_serializer.rb` for
-your new model. You can also generate a serializer for an existing model with
-the serializer generator:
-
-```
-$ rails g serializer post
-```
-
-The generated serializer will contain basic `attributes` and
-`has_many`/`has_one`/`belongs_to` declarations, based on the model. For example:
-
-```ruby
-class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-  attributes :title, :body
-
-  has_many :comments
-  has_one :author
-end
-```
-
-and
-
-```ruby
-class CommentSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-  attributes :name, :body
-
-  belongs_to :post_id
-end
-```
-
-The attribute names are a **whitelist** of attributes to be serialized.
-
-The `has_many`, `has_one`, and `belongs_to` declarations describe relationships between
-resources. By default, when you serialize a `Post`, you will get its `Comments`
-as well.
-
-For more information, see [Serializers](/docs/general/serializers.md).
-
-### Namespaced Models
-
-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`).
-
-### Model Associations and Nested Serializers
-
-When declaring a serializer for a model with associations, such as:
-```ruby
-class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-  has_many :comments
-end
-```
-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.
-
-For example, in the following situation:
-
-```ruby
-class CommentSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-  attributes :body, :date, :nb_likes
-end
-
-class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-  has_many :comments
-  class CommentSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-    attributes :body_short
-  end
-end
-```
-
-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`).
-
-### Extending a Base `ApplicationSerializer`
-
-By default, new serializers descend from `ActiveModel::Serializer`. However, if
-you wish to share behavior across your serializers, you can create an
-`ApplicationSerializer` at `app/serializers/application_serializer.rb`:
-
-```ruby
-class ApplicationSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
-end
-```
-
-Then any newly-generated serializers will automatically descend from
-`ApplicationSerializer`.
-
-```
-$ rails g serializer post
-```
-
-Now generates:
-
-```ruby
-class PostSerializer < ApplicationSerializer
-  attributes :id
-end
-````
-
-## Rails Integration
-
-ActiveModelSerializers will automatically integrate with your Rails app,
-so you won't need to update your controller.
-This is a example of how the controller will look:
-
-```ruby
-class PostsController < ApplicationController
-
-  def show
-    @post = Post.find(params[:id])
-    render json: @post
-  end
-
-end
-```
-
-If you wish to use Rails url helpers for link generation, e.g., `link(:resources) { resources_url }`, ensure your application sets
-`Rails.application.routes.default_url_options`.
-
-```ruby
-Rails.application.routes.default_url_options = {
-    host: 'example.com'
-}
-```
