ActiveModelSerializers::Cancan

Provides a simple integration between CanCan and Active Model Serializers.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_model_serializers-cancan'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install active_model_serializers-cancan

Usage

hasOne and hasMany serializer macros now support an additional property, authorize. Associations with this property set to true will be authorized and filtered via CanCan. For example:

class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
  attributes :title, :content

  has_one :author, authorize: true
  has_many :comments, authorize: true
end

Serializers now also have access to the same helpers as controllers, namely current_ability, can?, and cannot?.
