ActiveModel::Shaz

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_model-shaz'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install active_model-shaz

Support

Currently auto-configures for Mongoid and ActiveRecord. Easy to configure for your particular "ORM",

Usage

Mostly useful in REST API scenarios, where you want to transfer the model state to the client efficiently

model.created?
model.deleted?

model.saved # save and return saved model
model.updated_with(name: 'hello') # update and return updated model
model.destroyed # destroy and return destroyed model

Controller usage example

MyController < APIController
  def update
    render json: user.updated_with name: 'hello'
  end

  def destroy
    render json: user.destroyed
  end
end

When used with state tracking, this will add the http_status method so you can send the http status code, 201 or 204 auto-magically to your client in your JSON response via ActiveModel::Serializer. See f.ex mongoid-serializer gem.
