Overview

This module provides the extra behavior for including associations in JSON and XML serialization.

Instance Method Details

#field_names(options) ⇒ Array<String> (private)

This method is for internal use only.

Get the names of all fields that will be serialized.

Examples:

Get all the field names.

document.send(:field_names)

Returns:

# File 'lib/mongoid/serializable.rb', line 76



def field_names(options)
  names = (as_attributes.keys + attribute_names).uniq.sort

  only = Array.wrap(options[:only]).map(&:to_s)
  except = Array.wrap(options[:except]).map(&:to_s)
  except |= [self.class.discriminator_key] unless Mongoid.include_type_for_serialization

  if !only.empty?
    names &= only
  elsif !except.empty?
    names -= except
  end
  names
end


  








  

    #relation_names(inclusions)  ⇒ Array<Symbol>  (private)
  



  

    

Since the inclusions can be a hash, symbol, or array of symbols, this is provided as a convenience to parse out the names.


  





    

    
Examples:

        


Get the association names.



      
document.relation_names(:include => [ :addresses ])

  


Parameters:



Returns:


    
  
  • 
    (Array<Symbol>)
—    
    

    The names of the included associations.

    #relation_options(inclusions, options, name)  ⇒ Hash  (private)
  



  

    

Since the inclusions can be a hash, symbol, or array of symbols, this is provided as a convenience to parse out the options.


  





    

    
Examples:

        


Get the association options.



      
document.relation_names(:include => [ :addresses ])

  


Parameters:



Returns:


    
  
  • 
    (Hash)
—    
    

    The options for the association.

    #serializable_hash(options = nil)  ⇒ Hash 
  



  

    

Gets the document as a serializable hash, used by ActiveModel’s JSON serializer.


  





    

    
Examples:

        


Get the serializable hash.



      
document.serializable_hash

        


Get the serializable hash with options.



      
document.serializable_hash(:include => :addresses)

  


Parameters:


    
  
  • 
    options
    (Hash)
    (defaults to: nil)
—    
    

    The options to pass.

Options Hash (options):

    

Returns:


    
  
  • 
    (Hash)
—
