Marshalling Contentful::Asset Objects

[DanielWright]

Hi there,

I've encountered some difficulty marshalling Contentful::Asset objects nested within other Contentful::Entry objects returned by the gem. Here's some REPL code that should be illustrative:

2.2.4 (#<ContentfulClientService:0x007ffea8218708>):0 > image
=> #<Image: @properties={:image=>#<Contentful::Asset: @fields={:title=>"Slider 1 - The No Makeup-Makeup Redux", :description=>"natural-looking makeup", :file=>#<Contentful::File: @properties={:fileName=>"Slider 1 - The No Makeup-Makeup Redux", :contentType=>"image/jpeg", :details=>{"image"=>{"width"=>1000, "height"=>667}, "size"=>594865}, :url=>"//images.contentful.com/g8qtv9gzg47d/image_post_78787/5508ddf7049078118beca005464d2647/Slider_1_-_The_No_Makeup-Makeup_Redux"}>} @sys={:space=>#<Contentful::Link: @sys={:type=>"Link", :linkType=>"Space", :id=>"g8qtv9gzg47d"}>, :type=>"Asset", :id=>"image_post_78787", :revision=>2, :createdAt=>Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:02:07 +0000, :updatedAt=>Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:05:31 +0000, :locale=>"en-US"}>, :caption=>nil, :credit=>nil} @fields={:name=>"Slider 1 - The No Makeup-Makeup Redux", :image=>#<Contentful::Asset: @fields={:title=>"Slider 1 - The No Makeup-Makeup Redux", :description=>"natural-looking makeup", :file=>#<Contentful::File: @properties={:fileName=>"Slider 1 - The No Makeup-Makeup Redux", :contentType=>"image/jpeg", :details=>{"image"=>{"width"=>1000, "height"=>667}, "size"=>594865}, :url=>"//images.contentful.com/g8qtv9gzg47d/image_post_78787/5508ddf7049078118beca005464d2647/Slider_1_-_The_No_Makeup-Makeup_Redux"}>} @sys={:space=>#<Contentful::Link: @sys={:type=>"Link", :linkType=>"Space", :id=>"g8qtv9gzg47d"}>, :type=>"Asset", :id=>"image_post_78787", :revision=>2, :createdAt=>Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:02:07 +0000, :updatedAt=>Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:05:31 +0000, :locale=>"en-US"}>} @sys={:space=>#<Contentful::Link: @sys={:type=>"Link", :linkType=>"Space", :id=>"g8qtv9gzg47d"}>, :type=>"Entry", :contentType=>#<Contentful::Link: @sys={:type=>"Link", :linkType=>"ContentType", :id=>"48qqOz2Bj2oQSwKkW2C6ee"}>, :id=>"image_78787", :revision=>1, :createdAt=>Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:00:41 +0000, :updatedAt=>Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:00:41 +0000, :locale=>"en-US"}>

Have you got any recommendations on marshalling these assets, or plans to support it in the future along the lines of #81?

Thanks for your help!

Hey @DanielWright,

This looks like something we need to take care of!

I'll look into it as soon as I can, but next release should definitely contain a fix for this.

In the meanwhile, if you are interested in contributing a solution yourself, you're more than welcome to do so.

I can guide you through the code if you need any help.

Cheers

Hey @dlitvakb,

Has there been any progress on that?
When is the next release being planned to be release?

Thanks!

Hey @cabouffard,

Thanks for reminding me about this, we had a tight schedule on other things and this one slipped through the cracks.

I'll tackle this one between Monday and Tuesday.

Release should be done before Friday.

Cheers
