Ar::Serialize::Helpers
Collection of helpers for ActiveRecord's serialize method in Rails >= 3.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ar-serialize-helpers'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ar-serialize-helpers
Supported serialization formats
* `ARSerializeHelpers::Gzip`, depends on the `activesupport` gem and a `binary` attribute for storage
* `ARSerializeHelpers::Integer`
* `ARSerializeHelpers::JSON`, depends on `JSON` being available
Usage
You need to require the individual helper classes you wish to use. You can either do this in an initializer
require "ar-serialize-helpers/json"
or in the Gemfile
gem "ar-serialize-helpers", :require => "ar-serialize-helpers/json"
# Or for multiple modules
gem "ar-serialize-helpers", :require => ["ar-serialize-helpers/json", "ar-serialize-helpers/integer"]
Then pass an instance of the class to the serialize call in the model definition
class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
serialize :my_column, ARSerializeHelpers::JSON.new
end
