- ### 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
- See [README](../../README.md#what-does-a-serializable-resource-look-like)
52
-
53
- ## SerializableResource options
54
-
55
- See [README](../../README.md#activemodelserializersserializableresource)
56
-
57
- ### adapter_opts
58
-
59
- #### fields
60
-
61
- If you are using `json` or `attributes` adapter
62
- ```ruby
63
- render json: @user, fields: [:access_token]
64
- ```
65
-
66
- See [Fields](fields.md) for more information.
67
-
68
- #### adapter
69
-
70
- This option lets you explicitly set the adapter to be used by passing a registered adapter. Your options are `:attributes`, `:json`, and `:json_api`.
71
-
72
- ```
73
- ActiveModel::Serializer.config.adapter = :json_api
74
- ```
75
-
76
- #### key_transform
77
-
78
- ```render json: posts, each_serializer: PostSerializer, key_transform: :camel_lower```
79
-
80
- See [Key Transforms](key_transforms.md) for more information.
81
-
82
- #### meta
83
-
84
- A `meta` member can be used to include non-standard meta-information. `meta` can
85
- be utilized in several levels in a response.
86
-
87
- ##### Top-level
88
-
89
- To set top-level `meta` in a response, specify it in the `render` call.
90
-
91
- ```ruby
92
- render json: @post, meta: { total: 10 }
93
- ```
94
-
95
- The key can be customized using `meta_key` option.
96
-
97
- ```ruby
98
- render json: @post, meta: { total: 10 }, meta_key: "custom_meta"
99
- ```
100
-
101
- `meta` will only be included in your response if you are using an Adapter that
102
- supports `root`, e.g., `JsonApi` and `Json` adapters. The default adapter,
103
- `Attributes` does not have `root`.
104
-
105
-
106
- ##### Resource-level
107
-
108
- To set resource-level `meta` in a response, define meta in a serializer with one
109
- of the following methods:
110
-
111
- As a single, static string.
112
-
113
- ```ruby
114
- meta stuff: 'value'
115
- ```
116
-
117
- As a block containing a Hash.
118
-
119
- ```ruby
120
- meta do
121
- {
122
- rating: 4,
123
- comments_count: object.comments.count
124
- }
125
- end
126
- ```
127
-
128
-
129
- #### links
130
-
131
- If you wish to use Rails url helpers for link generation, e.g., `link(:resources) { resources_url }`, ensure your application sets
132
- `Rails.application.routes.default_url_options`.
133
-
134
- ##### Top-level
135
-
136
- JsonApi supports a [links object](http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-links) to be specified at top-level, that you can specify in the `render`:
137
-
138
- ```ruby
139
- links_object = {
140
- href: "http://example.com/api/posts",
141
- meta: {
142
- count: 10
143
- }
144
- }
145
- render json: @posts, links: links_object
146
- ```
147
-
148
- That's the result:
149
-
150
- ```json
151
- {
152
- "data": [
153
- {
154
- "type": "posts",
155
- "id": "1",
156
- "attributes": {
157
- "title": "JSON API is awesome!",
158
- "body": "You should be using JSON API",
159
- "created": "2015-05-22T14:56:29.000Z",
160
- "updated": "2015-05-22T14:56:28.000Z"
161
- }
162
- }
163
- ],
164
- "links": {
165
- "href": "http://example.com/api/posts",
166
- "meta": {
167
- "count": 10
168
- }
169
- }
170
- }
171
- ```
172
-
173
- This feature is specific to JsonApi, so you have to use the use the [JsonApi Adapter](adapters.md#jsonapi)
174
-
175
-
176
- ##### Resource-level
177
-
178
- In your serializer, define each link in one of the following methods:
179
-
180
- As a static string
181
-
182
- ```ruby
183
- link :link_name, 'https://example.com/resource'
184
- ```
185
-
186
- As a block to be evaluated. When using Rails, URL helpers are available.
187
- Ensure your application sets `Rails.application.routes.default_url_options`.
188
-
189
- ```ruby
190
- link :link_name_ do
191
- "https://example.com/resource/#{object.id}"
192
- end
193
-
194
- link(:link_name) { "https://example.com/resource/#{object.id}" }
195
-
196
- link(:link_name) { resource_url(object) }
197
-
198
- link(:link_name) { url_for(controller: 'controller_name', action: 'index', only_path: false) }
199
-
200
- ```

-
204
- #### include
205
-
206
- See [Adapters: Include Option](/docs/general/adapters.md#include-option).
207
-
208
- #### Overriding the root key
209
-
210
- Overriding the resource root only applies when using the JSON adapter.
211
-
212
- Normally, the resource root is derived from the class name of the resource being serialized.
213
- e.g. `UserPostSerializer.new(UserPost.new)` will be serialized with the root `user_post` or `user_posts` according the adapter collection pluralization rules.
214
-
215
- 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:
216
-
217
- ```ruby
218
- render json: @user_post, root: "admin_post", adapter: :json
219
- ```
220
-
221
- This will be rendered as:
222
- ```json
223
- {
224
- "admin_post": {
225
- "title": "how to do open source"
226
- }
227
- }
228
- ```
229
- 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.
230
-
231
- #### namespace
232
-
233
- The namespace for serializer lookup is based on the controller.
234
-
235
- To configure the implicit namespace, in your controller, create a before filter
236
-
237
- ```ruby
238
- before_action do
239
- self.namespace_for_serializer = Api::V2
240
- end
241
- ```
242
-
243
- `namespace` can also be passed in as a render option:
244
-
245
-
246
- ```ruby
247
- @post = Post.first
248
- render json: @post, namespace: Api::V2
249
- ```
250
-
251
- This tells the serializer lookup to check for the existence of `Api::V2::PostSerializer`, and if any relations are rendered with `@post`, they will also utilize the `Api::V2` namespace.
252
-
253
- The `namespace` can be any object whose namespace can be represented by string interpolation (i.e. by calling to_s)
254
- - Module `Api::V2`
255
- - String `'Api::V2'`
256
- - Symbol `:'Api::V2'`
257
-
258
- Note that by using a string and symbol, Ruby will assume the namespace is defined at the top level.
259
-
260
-
261
- #### serializer
262
-
263
- Specify which serializer to use if you want to use a serializer other than the default.
264
-
265
- For a single resource:
266
-
267
- ```ruby
268
- @post = Post.first
269
- render json: @post, serializer: SpecialPostSerializer
270
- ```
271
-
272
- To specify which serializer to use on individual items in a collection (i.e., an `index` action), use `each_serializer`:
273
-
274
- ```ruby
275
- @posts = Post.all
276
- render json: @posts, each_serializer: SpecialPostSerializer
277
- ```
278
-
279
- #### scope

-
281
- See [Serializers: Scope](/docs/general/serializers.md#scope).

- # Serializers
4
-
5
- Given a serializer class:
6
-
7
- ```ruby
8
- class SomeSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
9
- end
10
- ```
11
-
12
- The following methods may be defined in it:
13
-
14
- ### Attributes
15
-
16
- #### ::attributes
17
-
18
- Serialization of the resource `title` and `body`
19
-
20
- | In Serializer | #attributes |
21
- |---------------------------- |-------------|
22
- | `attributes :title, :body` | `{ title: 'Some Title', body: 'Some Body' }`
23
- | `attributes :title, :body`<br>`def body "Special #{object.body}" end` | `{ title: 'Some Title', body: 'Special Some Body' }`
24
-
25
-
26
- #### ::attribute
27
-
28
- Serialization of the resource `title`
29
-
30
- | In Serializer | #attributes |
31
- |---------------------------- |-------------|
32
- | `attribute :title` | `{ title: 'Some Title' } `
33
- | `attribute :title, key: :name` | `{ name: 'Some Title' } `
34
- | `attribute(:title) { 'A Different Title'}` | `{ title: 'A Different Title' } `
35
- | `attribute :title`<br>`def title 'A Different Title' end` | `{ title: 'A Different Title' }`
36
-
37
- An `if` or `unless` option can make an attribute conditional. It takes a symbol of a method name on the serializer, or a lambda literal.
38
-
39
- e.g.
40
-
41
- ```ruby
42
- attribute :private_data, if: :is_current_user?
43
- attribute :another_private_data, if: -> { scope.admin? }
44
-
45
- def is_current_user?
46
- object.id == current_user.id
47
- end
48
- ```
49
-
50
- ### Associations
51
-
52
- The interface for associations is, generically:
53
-
54
- > `association_type(association_name, options, &block)`
55
-
56
- Where:
57
-
58
- - `association_type` may be `has_one`, `has_many`, `belongs_to`.
59
- - `association_name` is a method name the serializer calls.
60
- - optional: `options` may be:
61
- - `key:` The name used for the serialized association.
62
- - `serializer:`
63
- - `if:`
64
- - `unless:`
65
- - `virtual_value:`
66
- - `polymorphic:` defines if polymorphic relation type should be nested in serialized association.
67
- - `type:` the resource type as used by JSON:API, especially on a `belongs_to` relationship.
68
- - `class_name:` the (String) model name used to determine `type`, when `type` is not given. e.g. `class_name: "Comment"` would imply the type `comments`
69
- - `foreign_key:` used by JSON:API on a `belongs_to` relationship to avoid unnecessarily loading the association object.
70
- - `namespace:` used when looking up the serializer and `serializer` is not given. Falls back to the parent serializer's `:namespace` instance options, which, when present, comes from the render options. See [Rendering#namespace](rendering.md#namespace] for more details.
71
- - optional: `&block` is a context that returns the association's attributes.
72
- - prevents `association_name` method from being called.
73
- - return value of block is used as the association value.
74
- - yields the `serializer` to the block.
75
- - `include_data false` prevents the `data` key from being rendered in the JSON API relationship.
76
-
77
- #### ::has_one
78
-
79
- e.g.
80
-
81
- ```ruby
82
- has_one :bio
83
- has_one :blog, key: :site
84
- has_one :blog, class_name: "Blog"
85
- has_one :maker, virtual_value: { id: 1 }
86
-
87
- has_one :blog do |serializer|
88
- serializer.cached_blog
89
- end
90
-
91
- def cached_blog
92
- cache_store.fetch("cached_blog:#{object.updated_at}") do
93
- Blog.find(object.blog_id)
94
- end
95
- end
96
- ```
97
-
98
- ```ruby
99
- has_one :blog, if: :show_blog?
100
- # you can also use a string or lambda
101
- # has_one :blog, if: 'scope.admin?'
102
- # has_one :blog, if: -> (serializer) { serializer.scope.admin? }
103
- # has_one :blog, if: -> { scope.admin? }
104
-
105
- def show_blog?
106
- scope.admin?
107
- end
108
- ```
109
-
110
- #### ::has_many
111
-
112
- e.g.
113
-
114
- ```ruby
115
- has_many :comments
116
- has_many :comments, key: :reviews
117
- has_many :comments, serializer: CommentPreviewSerializer
118
- has_many :comments, class_name: "Comment"
119
- has_many :reviews, virtual_value: [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }]
120
- has_many :comments, key: :last_comments do
121
- last(1)
122
- end
123
- ```
124
-
125
- #### ::belongs_to
126
-
127
- e.g.
128
-
129
- ```ruby
130
- belongs_to :author, serializer: AuthorPreviewSerializer
131
- belongs_to :author, key: :writer
132
- belongs_to :author, class_name: "Author"
133
- belongs_to :post
134
- belongs_to :blog
135
- def blog
136
- Blog.new(id: 999, name: 'Custom blog')
137
- end
138
- ```
139
-
140
- ### Polymorphic Relationships
141
-
142
- Polymorphic relationships are serialized by specifying the relationship, like any other association. For example:
143
-
144
- ```ruby
145
- class PictureSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
146
- has_one :imageable
147
- end
148
- ```
149
-
150
- You can specify the serializers by [overriding serializer_for](serializers.md#overriding-association-serializer-lookup). For more context about polymorphic relationships, see the [tests](../../test/adapter/polymorphic_test.rb) for each adapter.
151
-
152
- ### Caching
153
-
154
- #### ::cache
155
-
156
- e.g.
157
-
158
- ```ruby
159
- cache key: 'post', expires_in: 0.1, skip_digest: true
160
- cache expires_in: 1.day, skip_digest: true
161
- cache key: 'writer', skip_digest: true
162
- cache only: [:name], skip_digest: true
163
- cache except: [:content], skip_digest: true
164
- cache key: 'blog'
165
- cache only: [:id]
166
- ```
167
-
168
- #### #cache_key
169
-
170
- e.g.
171
-
172
- ```ruby
173
- # Uses a custom non-time-based cache key
174
- def cache_key
175
- "#{self.class.name.downcase}/#{self.id}"
176
- end
177
- ```
178
-
179
- ### Other
180
-
181
- #### ::type
182
-
183
- When using the `:json_api` adapter, the `::type` method defines the JSONAPI [type](http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-resource-object-identification) that will be rendered for this serializer.
184
-
185
- When using the `:json` adapter, the `::type` method defines the name of the root element.
186
-
187
- It either takes a `String` or `Symbol` as parameter.
188
-
189
- Note: This method is useful only when using the `:json_api` or `:json` adapter.
190
-
191
- Examples:
192
- ```ruby
193
- class UserProfileSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
194
- type 'profile'
195
-
196
- attribute :name
197
- end
198
- class AuthorProfileSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
199
- type :profile
200
-
201
- attribute :name
202
- end
203
- ```
204
-
205
- With the `:json_api` adapter, the previous serializers would be rendered as:
206
-
207
- ``` json
208
- {
209
- "data": {
210
- "id": "1",
211
- "type": "profile",
212
- "attributes": {
213
- "name": "Julia"
214
- }
215
- }
216
- }
217
- ```
218
-
219
- With the `:json` adapter, the previous serializer would be rendered as:
220
-
221
- ``` json
222
- {
223
- "profile": {
224
- "name": "Julia"
225
- }
226
- }
227
- ```
228
-
229
- #### ::link
230
-
231
- ```ruby
232
- link :self do
233
- href "https://example.com/link_author/#{object.id}"
234
- end
235
- link(:author) { link_author_url(object) }
236
- link(:link_authors) { link_authors_url }
237
- link :other, 'https://example.com/resource'
238
- link(:posts) { link_author_posts_url(object) }
239
- ```
240
-
241
- Just like attributes, links also support conditions in options
242
- ```ruby
243
- link(:secret, if: :internal?) { object.secret_link }
244
-
245
- def internal?
246
- instance_options[:context] == :internal
247
- end
248
- ```
249
-
250
- #### #object
251
-
252
- The object being serialized.
253
-
254
- #### #root
255
-
256
- Resource root which is included in `JSON` adapter. As you can see at [Adapters Document](adapters.md), `Attribute` adapter (default) and `JSON API` adapter does not include root at top level.
257
- By default, the resource root comes from the `model_name` of the serialized object's class.
258
-
259
- There are several ways to specify root:
260
- * [Overriding the root key](rendering.md#overriding-the-root-key)
261
- * [Setting `type`](serializers.md#type)
262
- * Specifying the `root` option, e.g. `root: 'specific_name'`, during the serializer's initialization:
263
-
264
- ```ruby
265
- ActiveModelSerializers::SerializableResource.new(foo, root: 'bar')
266
- ```
267
-
268
- #### #scope
269
-
270
- Allows you to include in the serializer access to an external method.
271
-
272
- It's intended to provide an authorization context to the serializer, so that
273
- you may e.g. show an admin all comments on a post, else only published comments.
274
-
275
- - `scope` is a method on the serializer instance that comes from `options[:scope]`. It may be nil.
276
- - `scope_name` is an option passed to the new serializer (`options[:scope_name]`). The serializer
277
- defines a method with that name that calls the `scope`, e.g. `def current_user; scope; end`.
278
- Note: it does not define the method if the serializer instance responds to it.
279
-
280
- That's a lot of words, so here's some examples:
281
-
282
- First, let's assume the serializer is instantiated in the controller, since that's the usual scenario.
283
- We'll refer to the serialization context as `controller`.
284
-
285
- | options | `Serializer#scope` | method definition |
286
- |-------- | ------------------|--------------------|
287
- | `scope: current_user, scope_name: :current_user` | `current_user` | `Serializer#current_user` calls `controller.current_user`
288
- | `scope: view_context, scope_name: :view_context` | `view_context` | `Serializer#view_context` calls `controller.view_context`
289
-
290
- We can take advantage of the scope to customize the objects returned based
291
- on the current user (scope).
292
-
293
- For example, we can limit the posts the current user sees to those they created:
294
-
295
- ```ruby
296
- class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
297
- attributes :id, :title, :body
298
-
299
- # scope comments to those created_by the current user
300
- has_many :comments do
301
- object.comments.where(created_by: current_user)
302
- end
303
- end
304
- ```
305
-
306
- Whether you write the method as above or as `object.comments.where(created_by: scope)`
307
- is a matter of preference (assuming `scope_name` has been set).
308
-
309
- Keep in mind that the scope can be set to any available controller reference. This can be utilized to provide access to any other data scopes or presentation helpers.
310
-
311
- ##### Controller Authorization Context
312
-
313
- In the controller, the scope/scope_name options are equal to
314
- the [`serialization_scope`method](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/blob/d02cd30fe55a3ea85e1d351b6e039620903c1871/lib/action_controller/serialization.rb#L13-L20),
315
- which is `:current_user`, by default.
316
-
317
- Specifically, the `scope_name` is defaulted to `:current_user`, and may be set as
318
- `serialization_scope :view_context`. The `scope` is set to `send(scope_name)` when `scope_name` is
319
- present and the controller responds to `scope_name`.
320
-
321
- Thus, in a serializer, the controller provides `current_user` as the
322
- current authorization scope when you call `render :json`.
323
-
324
- **IMPORTANT**: Since the scope is set at render, you may want to customize it so that `current_user` isn't
325
- called on every request. This was [also a problem](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/pull/1252#issuecomment-159810477)
326
- in [`0.9`](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/tree/0-9-stable#customizing-scope).
327
-
328
- We can change the scope from `current_user` to `view_context`, which is included in subclasses of `ActionController::Base`.
329
-
330
- ```diff
331
- class SomeController < ActionController::Base
332
- + serialization_scope :view_context
333
-
334
- def current_user
335
- User.new(id: 2, name: 'Bob', admin: true)
336
- end
337
-
338
- def edit
339
- user = User.new(id: 1, name: 'Pete')
340
- render json: user, serializer: AdminUserSerializer, adapter: :json_api
341
- end
342
- end
343
- ```
344
-
345
- We could then use the controller method `view_context` in our serializer, like so:
346
-
347
- ```diff
348
- class AdminUserSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
349
- attributes :id, :name, :can_edit
350
-
351
- def can_edit?
352
- + view_context.current_user.admin?
353
- end
354
- end
355
- ```
356
-
357
- So that when we render the `#edit` action, we'll get
358
-
359
- ```json
360
- {"data":{"id":"1","type":"users","attributes":{"name":"Pete","can_edit":true}}}
361
- ```
362
-
363
- Where `can_edit` is `view_context.current_user.admin?` (true).
364
-
365
- You can also tell what to set as `serialization_scope` for specific actions.
366
-
367
- For example, use `admin_user` only for `Admin::PostSerializer` and `current_user` for rest.
368
-
369
- ```ruby
370
- class PostsController < ActionController::Base
371
-
372
- before_action only: :edit do
373
- self.class.serialization_scope :admin_user
374
- end
375
-
376
- def show
377
- render json: @post, serializer: PostSerializer
378
- end
379
-
380
- def edit
381
- @post.save
382
- render json: @post, serializer: Admin::PostSerializer
383
- end
384
-
385
- private
386
-
387
- def admin_user
388
- User.new(id: 2, name: 'Bob', admin: true)
389
- end
390
-
391
- def current_user
392
- User.new(id: 2, name: 'Bob', admin: false)
393
- end
394
- end
395
- ```
396
- Note that any controller reference which provides the desired scope is acceptable, such as another controller method for loading a different resource or reference to helpers. For example, `ActionController::API` does not include `ActionView::ViewContext`, and would need a different reference for passing any helpers into a serializer via `serialization_scope`.
397
-
398
- #### #read_attribute_for_serialization(key)
399
-
400
- The serialized value for a given key. e.g. `read_attribute_for_serialization(:title) #=> 'Hello World'`
401
-
402
- #### #links
403
-
404
- Allows you to modify the `links` node. By default, this node will be populated with the attributes set using the [::link](#link) method. Using `links: nil` will remove the `links` node.
405
-
406
- ```ruby
407
- ActiveModelSerializers::SerializableResource.new(
408
- @post,

- ## Examples
426
-
427
- Given two models, a `Post(title: string, body: text)` and a
428
- `Comment(name: string, body: text, post_id: integer)`, you will have two
429
- serializers:
430
-
431
- ```ruby
432
- class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
433
- cache key: 'posts', expires_in: 3.hours
434
- attributes :title, :body
435
-
436
- has_many :comments
437
- end
438
- ```
439
-
440
- and
441
-
442
- ```ruby
443
- class CommentSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
444
- attributes :name, :body
445
-
446
- belongs_to :post
447
- end
448
- ```
449
-
450
- Generally speaking, you, as a user of ActiveModelSerializers, will write (or generate) these
451
- serializer classes.

- ## Overriding association methods
458
-
459
- To override an association, call `has_many`, `has_one` or `belongs_to` with a block:
460
-
461
- ```ruby
462
- class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
463
- has_many :comments do
464
- object.comments.active
465
- end
466
- end
467
- ```
468
-
469
- ## Overriding attribute methods
470
-
471
- To override an attribute, call `attribute` with a block:
472
-
473
- ```ruby
474
- class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
475
- attribute :body do
476
- object.body.downcase
477
- end
478
- end
479
- ```
480
-
481
- ## Overriding association serializer lookup
482
-
483
- If you want to define a specific serializer lookup for your associations, you can override
484
- the `ActiveModel::Serializer.serializer_for` method to return a serializer class based on defined conditions.
485
-
486
- ```ruby
487
- class MySerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
488
- def self.serializer_for(model, options)
489
- return SparseAdminSerializer if model.class.name == 'Admin'
490
- super
491
- end
492
-
493
- # the rest of the serializer
494
- end
495
- ```
