Instance Method Details

#from_xml(xml) ⇒ Object

# File 'lib/active_model/serializers/xml.rb', line 198

def from_xml(xml)
  self.attributes = Hash.from_xml(xml).values.first
  self
end

#to_xml(options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns XML representing the model. Configuration can be passed through options.

Without any options, the returned XML string will include all the model's attributes. For example:

user = User.find(1)
user.to_xml

The :only and :except options can be used to limit the attributes included, and work similar to the attributes method.

To include the result of some method calls on the model use :methods.

To include associations use :include.
