module ActionController # Action Controller Serialization # # Overrides render :json to check if the given object implements +active_model_serializer+ # as a method. If so, use the returned serializer instead of calling +to_json+ in the object. # # This module also provides a serialization_scope method that allows you to configure the # +serialization_scope+ of the serializer. Most apps will likely set the +serialization_scope+ # to the current user: # # class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base # serialization_scope :current_user # end # # If you need more complex scope rules, you can simply override the serialization_scope: # # class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base # private # # def serialization_scope # current_user # end # end # module Serialization extend ActiveSupport::Concern include ActionController::Renderers included do class_attribute :_serialization_scope self._serialization_scope = :current_user end def serialization_scope send(_serialization_scope) if _serialization_scope && respond_to?(_serialization_scope) end def default_serializer_options end def _render_option_json(json, options) options = default_serializer_options.merge(options) if default_serializer_options serializer = options.delete(:serializer) || (json.respond_to?(:active_model_serializer) && json.active_model_serializer) if json.respond_to?(:to_ary) unless serializer <= ActiveModel::ArraySerializer raise ArgumentError.new("#{serializer.name} is not an ArraySerializer.
