Instance Method Details

#from_json(json, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Parse the provided JSON, which should return a hash, and process the hash with from_json_node.

# File 'lib/sequel/plugins/json_serializer.rb', line 221

def from_json(json, opts=OPTS)
  from_json_node(Sequel.parse_json(json), opts)
end

#from_json_node(hash, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Using the provided hash, update the instance with data contained in the hash. By default, just calls set with the hash values.

Options:

:associations

Indicates that the associations cache should be updated by creating a new associated object using data from the hash. Should be a Symbol for a single association, an array of symbols for multiple associations, or a hash with symbol keys and dependent association option hash values.

:fields

Changes the behavior to call set_fields using the provided fields, instead of calling set.

#json_serializer_opts(opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Set the json serialization options that will be used by default in future calls to to_json. This is designed for cases where the model object will be used inside another data structure which to_json is called on, and as such will not allow passing of arguments to to_json.

Example:

obj.json_serializer_opts(only: :name)
[obj].to_json # => '[{"name":"..."}]'

# File 'lib/sequel/plugins/json_serializer.rb', line 295

def json_serializer_opts(opts=OPTS)
  @json_serializer_opts = (@json_serializer_opts||OPTS).merge(opts)
end

#to_json(*a) ⇒ Object

Return a string in JSON format. Accepts the following options:

:except

Symbol or Array of Symbols of columns not to include in the JSON output.

:include

Symbol, Array of Symbols, or a Hash with Symbol keys and Hash values specifying associations or other non-column attributes to include in the JSON output. Using a nested hash, you can pass options to associations to affect the JSON used for associated objects.

:only

Symbol or Array of Symbols of columns to only include in the JSON output, ignoring all other columns.

:root

Qualify the JSON with the name of the object. If a string is given, use the string as the key, otherwise use an underscored version of the model’s name.
