Module: Spree::Preferences::Preferable

Extended by:
ActiveSupport::Concern
Included in:
Base, Configuration
Defined in:
lib/spree/preferences/preferable.rb

Overview

Preferable allows defining preference accessor methods.

A class including Preferable must implement #preferences which should return an object responding to .fetch(key), []=(key, val), and .delete(key).

The generated writer method performs typecasting before assignment into the preferences object.

Examples:

# Spree::Base includes Preferable and defines preferences as a serialized
# column.
class Settings < Spree::Base
  preference :color,       :string,  default: 'red'
  preference :temperature, :integer, default: 21
end

s = Settings.new
s.preferred_color # => 'red'
s.preferred_temperature # => 21

s.preferred_color = 'blue'
s.preferred_color # => 'blue'

# Typecasting is performed on assignment
s.preferred_temperature = '24'
s.preferred_color # => 24

# Modifications have been made to the .preferences hash
s.preferences #=> {color: 'blue', temperature: 24}

# Save the changes. All handled by activerecord
s.save!

Each preference gets rendered as a form field in Solidus backend.

As not all supported preference types are representable as a form field, only some of them get rendered per default. Arrays and Hashes for instance are supported preference field types, but do not represent well as a form field.

Overwrite allowed_admin_form_preference_types in your class if you want to provide more fields. If you do so, you also need to provide a preference field partial that lives in:

app/views/spree/admin/shared/preference_fields/

#admin_form_preference_names ⇒ Array

Preference names representable as form fields in Solidus backend

Not all preferences are representable as a form field.

Arrays and Hashes for instance are supported preference field types, but do not represent well as a form field.

As these kind of preferences are mostly developer facing and not admin facing we should not render them.

Overwrite allowed_admin_form_preference_types in your class that includes Spree::Preferable if you want to provide more fields. If you do so, you also need to provide a preference field partial that lives in:

app/views/spree/admin/shared/preference_fields/

Returns:

  • (Array)
