SerialAttr
SerialAttr makes it simple to keep track of which attributes of an object to serialize. It also provides helpers for serializing those attributes into a ruby hash and json.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'serial_attr'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install serial_attr
Usage
To use on any ruby object, just include SerialAttr::Model. It will then provide you with some helper methods to
create a list of attribute names to serialize.
class MyObj
include SerialAttr::Model
serial_attr :name, :address, :phone_number
skip_serial_attr :scratch_pad
end
serial_attr simply takes in a list of attributes to add to the whitelist. skip_serial_attr will add those
attributes to the blacklist. The blacklist takes precedence over the whitelist.
If the object responds to attributes (like ActiveRecord) or redis_attributes (like RedisAttr) those will
automatically be included in the whitelist. Use skip_serial_attr to exclude them.
