This gem adds a little decorator for your objects that allow whitelist of methods. Possible user cases include when you need to dynamically display whitelisted attributes in your view based on some criteria.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'whitelisted-record'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install whitelisted-record
Simply create a decorator like this to whitelist what you want visible:
user = WhitelistedRecord(user, [:first_name, :last_name, :age])
You can set default whitelist with a configuration. For example, in a Rails app you can put this in an initializer:
WhitelistedRecord.configure do |config|
config.whitelist = [:first_name, :last_name]
end
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.
