Class: RESTFramework::Serializers::NativeSerializer

Inherits:
BaseSerializer show all
Defined in:
lib/rest_framework/serializers/native_serializer.rb

Overview

This serializer uses ‘.serializable_hash` to convert objects to Ruby primitives (with the top-level being either an array or a hash).

#initialize(object = nil, *args, many: nil, model: nil, **kwargs) ⇒ NativeSerializer

Accept/ignore ‘*args` to be compatible with the `ActiveModel::Serializer#initialize` signature.

Class Method Details

.[](key) ⇒ Object

Allow a serializer class to be used as a hash directly in a nested serializer config.

end

.filter_subcfg(subcfg, fields:, add: false, only: false) ⇒ Object

Filter a single subconfig for specific keys. By default, keys from ‘fields` are removed from the provided `subcfg`. There are two (mutually exclusive) options to adjust the behavior:

`add`: Add any `fields` to the `subcfg` which aren't already in the `subcfg`.
`only`: Remove any values found in the `subcfg` not in `fields`.
