+ ### Model
248
+
249
+ `ActiveModel::Model` adds the ability to a class to work with Action Pack and
250
+ Action View right out of the box.
251
+
252
+ ```ruby
253
+ class EmailContact
254
+ include ActiveModel::Model
255
+
256
+ attr_accessor :name, :email, :message
257
+ validates :name, :email, :message, presence: true

260
+ if valid?
261
+ # deliver email
262
+ end
263
+ end
264
+ end
265
+ ```
266
+
267
+ When including `ActiveModel::Model` you get some features like:
268
+
269
+ - model name introspection
270
+ - conversions
271
+ - translations
272
+ - validations
273
+
274
+ It also gives you the ability to initialize an object with a hash of attributes,
275
+ much like any Active Record object.
276
+
277
+ ```ruby
278
+ email_contact = EmailContact.new(name: 'David',
279
+ email: 'david@example.com',
280
+ message: 'Hello World')
281
+ email_contact.name # => 'David'
282
+ email_contact.email # => 'david@example.com'
283
+ email_contact.valid? # => true
284
+ email_contact.persisted? # => false
285
+ ```
286
+
287
+ Any class that includes `ActiveModel::Model` can be used with `form_for`,
288
+ `render` and any other Action View helper methods, just like Active Record
289
+ objects.
290
+
291
+ ### Serialization
292
+
293
+ `ActiveModel::Serialization` provides a basic serialization for your object.
294
+ You need to declare an attributes hash which contains the attributes you want to
295
+ serialize. Attributes must be strings, not symbols.
296
+
297
+ ```ruby
298
+ class Person
299
+ include ActiveModel::Serialization
300
+
301
+ attr_accessor :name
302
+
303
+ def attributes
304
+ {'name' => nil}
305
+ end
306
+ end
307
+ ```
308
+
309
+ Now you can access a serialized hash of your object using the `serializable_hash`.
310
+
311
+ ```ruby
312
+ person = Person.new
313
+ person.serializable_hash # => {"name"=>nil}
314
+ person.name = "Bob"
315
+ person.serializable_hash # => {"name"=>"Bob"}
316
+ ```
317
+
318
+ #### ActiveModel::Serializers
319
+
320
+ Rails provides two serializers `ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON` and
321
+ `ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml`. Both of these modules automatically include
322
+ the `ActiveModel::Serialization`.
323
+
324
+ ##### ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON
325
+
326
+ To use the `ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON` you only need to change from
327
+ `ActiveModel::Serialization` to `ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON`.
328
+
329
+ ```ruby
330
+ class Person
331
+ include ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON
332
+
333
+ attr_accessor :name
334
+
335
+ def attributes
336
+ {'name' => nil}
337
+ end
338
+ end
339
+ ```
340
+
341
+ With the `as_json` you have a hash representing the model.
342
+
343
+ ```ruby
344
+ person = Person.new
345
+ person.as_json # => {"name"=>nil}
346
+ person.name = "Bob"
347
+ person.as_json # => {"name"=>"Bob"}
348
+ ```
349
+
350
+ From a JSON string you define the attributes of the model.
351
+ You need to have the `attributes=` method defined on your class:
352
+
353
+ ```ruby
354
+ class Person
355
+ include ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON
356
+
357
+ attr_accessor :name
358
+
359
+ def attributes=(hash)
360
+ hash.each do |key, value|
361
+ send("#{key}=", value)
362
+ end
363
+ end
364
+
365
+ def attributes
366
+ {'name' => nil}
367
+ end
368
+ end
369
+ ```
370
+
371
+ Now it is possible to create an instance of person and set the attributes using `from_json`.
372
+
373
+ ```ruby
374
+ json = { name: 'Bob' }.to_json
375
+ person = Person.new
376
+ person.from_json(json) # => #<Person:0x00000100c773f0 @name="Bob">
377
+ person.name # => "Bob"
378
+ ```
379
+
380
+ ##### ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml
381
+
382
+ To use the `ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml` you only need to change from
383
+ `ActiveModel::Serialization` to `ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml`.
384
+
385
+ ```ruby
386
+ class Person
387
+ include ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml
388
+
389
+ attr_accessor :name
390
+
391
+ def attributes
392
+ {'name' => nil}
393
+ end
394
+ end
395
+ ```
396
+
397
+ With the `to_xml` you have a XML representing the model.
398
+
399
+ ```ruby
400
+ person = Person.new
401
+ person.to_xml # => "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<person>\n <name nil=\"true\"/>\n</person>\n"
402
+ person.name = "Bob"
403
+ person.to_xml # => "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<person>\n <name>Bob</name>\n</person>\n"
404
+ ```
405
+
406
+ From a XML string you define the attributes of the model.
407
+ You need to have the `attributes=` method defined on your class:
408
+
409
+ ```ruby
410
+ class Person
411
+ include ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml
412
+
413
+ attr_accessor :name
414
+
415
+ def attributes=(hash)
416
+ hash.each do |key, value|
417
+ send("#{key}=", value)
418
+ end
419
+ end
420
+
421
+ def attributes
422
+ {'name' => nil}
423
+ end
424
+ end
425
+ ```
426
+
427
+ Now it is possible to create an instance of person and set the attributes using `from_xml`.
428
+
429
+ ```ruby
430
+ xml = { name: 'Bob' }.to_xml
431
+ person = Person.new
432
+ person.from_xml(xml) # => #<Person:0x00000100c773f0 @name="Bob">
433
+ person.name # => "Bob"
434
+ ```
435
+
436
+ ### Translation
437
+
438
+ `ActiveModel::Translation` provides integration between your object and the Rails
439
+ internationalization (i18n) framework.
440
+
441
+ ```ruby
442
+ class Person
443
+ extend ActiveModel::Translation
444
+ end
445
+ ```
446
+
447
+ With the `human_attribute_name` you can transform attribute names into a more
448
+ human format. The human format is defined in your locale file.
449
+
450
+ * config/locales/app.pt-BR.yml
451
+
452
+ ```yml
453
+ pt-BR:
454
+ activemodel:
455
+ attributes:
456
+ person:

+ ```
459
+
460
+ ```ruby
461
+ Person.human_attribute_name('name') # => "Nome"
462
+ ```
463
+
464
+ ### Lint Tests
465
+
466
+ `ActiveModel::Lint::Tests` allow you to test whether an object is compliant with
467
+ the Active Model API.
468
+
469
+ * app/models/person.rb
470
+
471
+ ```ruby
472
+ class Person
473
+ include ActiveModel::Model

+
475
+ end
476
+ ```
477
+
478
+ * test/models/person_test.rb
479
+
480
+ ```ruby
481
+ require 'test_helper'
482
+

484

+
486
+ def setup
487
+ @model = Person.new
488
+ end
489
+ end
490
+ ```
491
+
492

505
+
506
+ An object is not required to implement all APIs in order to work with
507
+ Action Pack. This module only intends to provide guidance in case you want all
508
+ features out of the box.
509
+
510
+ ### SecurePassword
511
+
512
+ `ActiveModel::SecurePassword` provides a way to securely store any
513
+ password in an encrypted form. On including this module, a
514
+ `has_secure_password` class method is provided which defines
515
+ an accessor named `password` with certain validations on it.
516
+
517
+ #### Requirements
518
+
519
+ `ActiveModel::SecurePassword` depends on the [`bcrypt`](https://github.com/codahale/bcrypt-ruby 'BCrypt'),
520
+ so include this gem in your Gemfile to use `ActiveModel::SecurePassword` correctly.
521
+ In order to make this work, the model must have an accessor named `password_digest`.
522
+ The `has_secure_password` will add the following validations on the `password` accessor:
523
+
524
+ 1. Password should be present.
525
+ 2. Password should be equal to its confirmation.
526
+ 3. This maximum length of a password is 72 (required by `bcrypt` on which ActiveModel::SecurePassword depends)
527
+
528
+ #### Examples
529
+
530
+ ```ruby
531
+ class Person
532
+ include ActiveModel::SecurePassword
533
+ has_secure_password
534
+ attr_accessor :password_digest
535
+ end
536
+
537
+ person = Person.new
538
+
539
+ # When password is blank.
540
+ person.valid? # => false
541
+
542
+ # When the confirmation doesn't match the password.
543
+ person.password = 'aditya'
544
+ person.password_confirmation = 'nomatch'
545
+ person.valid? # => false
546
+
547
+ # When the length of password, exceeds 72.
548
+ person.password = person.password_confirmation = 'a' * 100
549
+ person.valid? # => false
550
+
551
+ # When all validations are passed.
552
+ person.password = person.password_confirmation = 'aditya'
553
+ person.valid? # => true
554
+ ```
