Fields::Serializer

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/fields/serializer. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fields-serializer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fields-serializer

Use example in your controller:

class OrdersController < ApplicationController
  def index
    orders = Order.all
    render_json_fields(orders, model_class: Order, fields: ["short_id", "customer.first_name", "customer.surname", "customer.address.postcode"], root: "orders")
  end
end

If :model_class and :fields options are included, it will optimize the query to the db using .includes based on the model_class associations found in :fields value. Also, will render only the fields in :fields option.

If no :model_class and :fields options are provided, it will render the whole objects using the appropriate model serializer.

You can also provide any other options accepted by common render method.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
