Overview
An Entity is a lightweight structure that allows you to easily represent data from your application in a consistent and abstracted way in your API. Entities can also provide documentation for the fields exposed.
Entities are not independent structures, rather, they create representations of other Ruby objects using a number of methods that are convenient for use in an API. Once you've defined an Entity, you can use it in your API like this:

-
._nested_exposures_hash ⇒ Object
Returns the value of attribute _nested_exposures_hash.
Instance Attribute Summary collapse
-
#object ⇒ Object
readonly
Returns the value of attribute object.
-
#options ⇒ Object
readonly
Returns the value of attribute options.
Class Method Summary collapse
-
.documentation ⇒ Object
Returns a hash, the keys are symbolized references to fields in the entity, the values are document keys in the entity's documentation key.
-
.expose(*args, &block) ⇒ Object
This method is the primary means by which you will declare what attributes should be exposed by the entity.
-
.exposures ⇒ Object
Returns a hash of exposures that have been declared for this Entity or ancestors.
-
.format_with(name, &block) ⇒ Object
This allows you to declare a Proc in which exposures can be formatted with.
-
.formatters ⇒ Object
Returns a hash of all formatters that are registered for this and it's ancestors.
- .nested_exposures ⇒ Object
- .nested_exposures_hash ⇒ Object
-
.represent(objects, options = {}) ⇒ Object
This convenience method allows you to instantiate one or more entities by passing either a singular or collection of objects.
-
.root(plural, singular = nil) ⇒ Object
This allows you to set a root element name for your representation.
-
.with_options(options) ⇒ Object
Set options that will be applied to any exposures declared inside the block.

Class Method Details
.documentation ⇒ Object
Returns a hash, the keys are symbolized references to fields in the entity, the values are document keys in the entity's documentation key. When calling
docmentation, any exposure without a documentation key will be ignored.

.exposures ⇒ Object
Returns a hash of exposures that have been declared for this Entity or ancestors. The keys are symbolized references to methods on the containing object, the values are the options that were passed into expose.

.format_with(name, &block) ⇒ Object
This allows you to declare a Proc in which exposures can be formatted with. It take a block with an arity of 1 which is passed as the value of the exposed attribute.

.represent(objects, options = {}) ⇒ Object
This convenience method allows you to instantiate one or more entities by passing either a singular or collection of objects. Each object will be initialized with the same options. If an array of objects is passed in, an array of entities will be returned. If a single object is passed in, a single entity will be returned.
