require 'active_support/core_ext/class/attribute' 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+ on 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 module ClassMethods def serialization_scope(scope) self._serialization_scope = scope end end def _render_option_json(resource, options) serializer = build_json_serializer(resource, options) if serializer super(serializer, options) else super end end private def default_serializer_options {} end def serialization_scope _serialization_scope = self.class._serialization_scope send(_serialization_scope) if _serialization_scope && respond_to?(_serialization_scope, true) end def build_json_serializer(resource, options = {}) options = default_serializer_options.merge(options) if serializer = options.fetch(:serializer, ActiveModel::Serializer.serializer_for(resource)) options[:scope] = serialization_scope unless options.has_key?(:scope) options[:resource_name] = controller_name if resource.respond_to?(:to_ary) serializer.new(resource, options) end end end end
