Method: Scimitar::Resources::Base#flatten_extension_attributes

Defined in:
app/models/scimitar/resources/base.rb

#flatten_extension_attributes(options) ⇒ Object

Scimitar has at present a general limitation in handling schema IDs, which just involves stripping them and requiring attributes across all extension schemas to be overall unique.

This method takes an options payload for the initializer and strips out recognised schema IDs, so that the resulting attribute data matches the resource attribute map.

attributes

Attributes to assign via initializer; typically a POST payload of attributes that has been run through Rails strong parameters for safety.

Returns a new object of the same class as options with recognised schema IDs removed.
