Jbuilder Serializer
Serializers integrated with jbuilder views.
Provides a class to handle variables assignment and uses a jbuilder view to define the JSON structure. Useful for using jbuilder outside of a controller render call.
Usage
# app/serializers/order_create_serializer.rb
class OrderCreateSerializer < JbuilderSerializer
set_template_path File.expand_path('../views', __FILE__)
locals do |attrs|
@items = attrs[:items]
@customer = attrs[:customer]
end
end
# app/serializers/views/order_create.json.jbuilder
json.order_create do
json.customer @customer, :name
json.items @items do |item|
json.product_name item.product.name
json.product_id item.product_id
json.product_url item.product.url
json.quantity item.quantity
json.price item.price
end
endCalling to_json on the jbuilder serializer instance will do the trick:
OrderCreateSerializer.new(items: @items, customer: @customer).to_json{
"order_create": {
"customer": {
"name": "John Doe"
}
},
"items": [
{
"product_name": "Laptop 15'' Core i5",
"product_id": "401db6bd42945385a1df3ed2b71a58fd",
"product_url": "my-ecommerce.com/products/401db6bd42945385a1df3ed2b71a58fd",
"quantity": 3,
"price": 30000
},

]
}
