ActiveRecord Accessible Json

Using this gem, ActiveRecord JSON typed attribute is deserialized into HashWithIndifferentAccess if possible.

Example

# Both author and tags are JSON typed columns.
Post.create(author: { 'name': 'yamat47', 'age': 27 }, tags: %w[Rails TDD])

post = Post.last
post.author.class #=> ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
post.author['name'] #=> 'yamat47'
post.author['name'] == post.author[:name] #=> true

post.author = { name: 'Andy', age: 30 }
post.author.class #=> ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
post.author['name'] #=> 'Andy'
post.author['name'] == post.author[:name] #=> true

# If attribute's value is not changeable into HashWithIndifferentAccess,
# this gem does nothing.
post.tags.class #=> Array
