module FastSerializer::Serializer::ClassMethods

Public Instance Methods

cache() click to toggle source

Get the cache implemtation used to store cacheable serializers.

# File lib/fast_serializer/serializer.rb, line 195
def cache
  if defined?(@cache)
    @cache
  elsif superclass.respond_to?(:cache)
    superclass.cache
  else
    FastSerializer.cache
  end
end
cache=(cache) click to toggle source

Set the cache implementation used to store cacheable serializers.

# File lib/fast_serializer/serializer.rb, line 206
def cache=(cache)
  if defined?(ActiveSupport::Cache::Store) && cache.is_a?(ActiveSupport::Cache::Store)
    cache = Cache::ActiveSupportCache.new(cache)
  end
  @cache = cache
end
cache_ttl() click to toggle source

Return the time to live in seconds for a cacheable serializer.

# File lib/fast_serializer/serializer.rb, line 179
def cache_ttl
  if defined?(@cache_ttl)
    @cache_ttl
  elsif superclass.respond_to?(:cache_ttl)
    superclass.cache_ttl
  else
    nil
  end
end
cache_ttl=(value) click to toggle source

Set the time to live on a cacheable serializer.

# File lib/fast_serializer/serializer.rb, line 190
def cache_ttl=(value)
  @cache_ttl = value
end
cacheable(cacheable = true, ttl: nil, cache: nil) click to toggle source

Specify the cacheability of the serializer.

You can specify the cacheable state (defaults to true) of the class. Subclasses will inherit the cacheable state of their parent class, so if you have non-cacheable serializer subclassing a cacheable parent class, you can call cacheable false to override the parent behavior.

You can also specify the cache time to live (ttl) in seconds and the cache implementation to use. Both of these values are inherited on subclasses.

# File lib/fast_serializer/serializer.rb, line 164
def cacheable(cacheable = true, ttl: nil, cache: nil)
  @cacheable = cacheable
  self.cache_ttl = ttl if ttl
  self.cache = cache if cache
end
cacheable?() click to toggle source

Return true if the serializer class is cacheable.

# File lib/fast_serializer/serializer.rb, line 171
def cacheable?
  unless defined?(@cacheable)
    @cacheable = superclass.cacheable? if superclass.respond_to?(:cacheable?)
  end
  !!@cacheable
end
remove(*fields) click to toggle source

Remove a field from being serialized. This can be useful in subclasses if they need to remove a field defined by the parent class.

# File lib/fast_serializer/serializer.rb, line 147
def remove(*fields)
  remove_fields = fields.collect(&:to_sym)
  field_list = []
  serializable_fields.each do |existing_field|
    field_list << existing_field unless remove_fields.include?(existing_field.name)
  end
  @serializable_fields = field_list.freeze
end
serialize(*fields) click to toggle source

Define one or more fields to include in the serialized object. Field values will be gotten by calling the method of the same name on class including this module.

Several options can be specified to control how the field is serialized.

  • as: Name to call the field in the serialized hash. Defaults to the same as the field name (withany ? stripped off the end for boolean fields). This option can only be specified for a single field.

  • optional: Boolean flag indicating if the field is optional in the serialized value (defaults to false). Optional fields are only included if the :include option to the as_json method includes the field name.

  • delegate: Boolean flag indicating if the field call should be delegated to the wrapped object (defaults to true). When this is supplied, a method will be automatically defined on the serializer with the name of the field that simply then calls the same method on the wrapped object.

  • serializer: Class that should be used to serialize the field. If this option is specified, the field value will be serialized using the specified serializer class which should include this module. Otherwise, the as_json method will be called on the field class.

  • serializer_options: Options that should be used for serializing the field for when the :serializer option has been specified.

  • enumerable: Boolean flag indicating if the field is enumerable (defaults to false). This option is only used if the :serializer option has been set. If the field is marked as enumerable, then the value will be serialized as an array with each element wrapped in the specified serializer.

  • condition: Block or method name that will be called at runtime bound to the serializer that will determine if the attribute will be included or not.

Subclasses will inherit all of their parent classes serialized fields. Subclasses can override fields defined on the parent class by simply defining them again.

# File lib/fast_serializer/serializer.rb, line 105
def serialize(*fields)
  options = {}
  if fields.size > 1 && fields.last.is_a?(Hash)
    fields.last.each do |key, value|
      options[key.to_sym] = value
    end
    fields = fields[0, fields.size - 1]
  end
  as = options.delete(:as)
  optional = options.delete(:optional) || false
  delegate = options.delete(:delegate) || true
  enumerable = options.delete(:enumerable) || false
  serializer = options.delete(:serializer)
  serializer_options = options.delete(:serializer_options)
  condition = options.delete(:if)

  unless options.empty?
    raise ArgumentError.new("Unsupported serialize options: #{options.keys.join(', ')}")
  end

  if as && fields.size > 1
    raise ArgumentError.new("Cannot specify :as argument with multiple fields to serialize")
  end

  fields.each do |field|
    name = as
    if name.nil? && field.to_s.end_with?("?".freeze)
      name = field.to_s.chomp("?".freeze)
    end

    field = field.to_sym
    attribute = (name || field).to_sym
    add_field(attribute, optional: optional, serializer: serializer, serializer_options: serializer_options, enumerable: enumerable, condition: condition)

    if delegate && !method_defined?(attribute)
      define_delegate(attribute, field)
    end
  end
