Flexserializer

Conveniently structuring your attributes into groups for ActiveModelSerializer

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'flexserializer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install flexserializer

Usage

# default_attributes do
#   define_attributes :attr1, :attr2
#   define_attribute  :attr3
#   define_has_one    :attr4
#   define_has_many   :attr5
# end

class UserSerializer < Flexserializer::Base

  # Example default_attributes for all groups
  default_attributes do
    define_attributes :id, :name, :last_name
  end
  
  # Examples of the group definitions
  
  # 1) group can have many different names for flexible naming
  group(:with_names, :with_ages) do
    define_attribute :age
  end
  
  # 2) or single name
  group(:with_avatar) do
    define_attribute :avatar
  end
    
  # If you want to transfer the group name to the next Serializer.
  # define_options - hash with your options
  def avatar
    options = define_options.merge({group: :for_user})
    ActiveModelSerializers::SerializableResource.new(object.avatar, options).serializable_hash
  end
end

Call group

for example

class TestController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @hash = ActiveModelSerializers::SerializableResource.new(Model.all, {group: :group_name_1}).serializable_hash
  end
end
