DefaultSerializeOptions ======================= Allows you to set default to_xml and to_json options on your ActiveRecord model so you do not have to include them every time you call to_xml or to_json. Options ======= Default options to use for to_xml: default_serialize_options :xml => { :include => [:items] } Default options for use for to_json: default_serialize_options :json => { :include => [:items] } Default options for both to_xml and to_json: default_serialize_options :all => { :include => [:items] } If the keys :xml, :json or :all do not exist in the options the key :all is assumed. Which means default_serialize_options :include => [:items] *is the same as* default_serialize_options :all => {:include => [:items]} Example ======= class Download < ActiveRecord::Base default_serialize_options :xml => { :include => [:items, :author] }, :json => { :include => [:author] } end class DownloadController < ApplicationController def show @download = current_user.downloads.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.html format.xml { render :xml => @download.to_xml # Which is the same as #render :xml => @download.to_xml(:include => [:items, :author]) } end end end You can also override the defaults you have specified in default_xml_options by passing the options directly to to_xml. # Adding a new option render :xml => @download.to_xml(:skip_instruct => true) # The same as render :xml => @download.to_xml(:skip_instruct => true, :include => [:items, :author]) # Overriding a default render :xml => @download.to_xml(:include => [:author]) If you want to ignore the defaults completely pass :ignore_defaults => true as an option render :xml => @download.to_xml(:ignore_defaults => true, :include => [:items]) Copyright (c) 2009 James Smith, released under the MIT license
