# Instrumentation
|
4
|
+
|
5
|
+
ActiveModelSerializers uses the
|
6
|
+
[ActiveSupport::Notification API](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_support_instrumentation.html#subscribing-to-an-event),
|
7
|
+
which allows for subscribing to events, such as for logging.
|
8
|

# Key Transforms
|

# Logging
|
4
|
+
|
5
|
+
The default logger in a Rails application will be `Rails.logger`.
|
6
|
+
|
7
|
+
When there is no `Rails.logger`, the default logger is an instance of
|
8
|
+
`ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging` logging to STDOUT.
|
9
|
+
|
10
|
+
You may customize the logger in an initializer, for example:
|
11
|
+
|
12
|
+
```ruby
|
13
|
+
ActiveModelSerializers.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
|
14
|
+
```
|
15
|
+
|
16
|
+
You can also disable the logger, just put this in `config/initializers/active_model_serializers.rb`:
|
17
|
+
|
18
|
+
```ruby
|
19
|
+
require 'active_model_serializers'
|
20
|
+
ActiveSupport::Notifications.unsubscribe(ActiveModelSerializers::Logging::RENDER_EVENT)

# Rendering

|

|
+
### 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
|
+

#### fields
|
60

If you are using `json` or `attributes` adapter
|
62
|
+
```ruby

63
|
+
render json: @user, fields: [:access_token]
|

|
+
#### 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
|
+
```
|
201
|
+
|
202
|
+
### serializer_opts
|
203
|
+
|
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
|
280
|
+
|
281
|
+
See [Serializers: Scope](/docs/general/serializers.md#scope).
|
282
|
+

# 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
|

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

### 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,
|
409
|
+
adapter: :json_api,
|
410
|
+
links: {
|
411
|
+
self: {
|
412
|
+
href: 'http://example.com/posts',
|
413
|
+
meta: {
|
414
|
+
stuff: 'value'
|
415
|
+
}
|
416
|
+
}
|
417
|
+
}
|
418
|
+
)
|
419
|
+
```
|
420
|
+
|
421
|
+
#### #json_key
|
422
|
+
|
423
|
+
Returns the key used by the adapter as the resource root. See [root](#root) for more information.
|
424
|
+
|
425
|
+
## 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.
|
452
|
+
|
453
|
+
## More Info
|
454
|
+
|
455
|
+
For more information, see [the Serializer class on GitHub](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/blob/master/lib/active_model/serializer.rb)
|
456
|
+
|
457
|
+
## 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
|

## 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
|
+
```
