CHANGELOG.md

UNRELEASED

• ActiveModel::Serializable was created it has the shared code between AM::Serializer and AM::ArraySerializer. Basically enable objects to be serializable by implementing an options method to handle the options of the serialization and a serialize method that returns an object to be converted to json by the module. This also removes duplicate code. https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/commit/6c6bc8872d3b0f040a200854fa5530a775824dbf

• ActiveModel::Serializer::Caching module was created it enables Serializers to be able to cache to_json and serialize calls. This also helps removing duplicate code. https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/commit/3e27110df78696ac48cafd1568f72216f348a188

• We got rid of the Association.refine method which generated subclasses. https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/commit/24923722d4f215c7cfcdf553fd16582e28e3801b

• Associations doesn't know anymore about the source serializer. That didn't make any sense. https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/commit/2252e8fe6dbf45660c6a35f35e2423792f2c3abf https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/commit/87eadd09b9a988bc1d9b30d9a501ef7e3fc6bb87 https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/commit/79a6e13e8f7fae2eb4f48e83a9633e74beb6739e

• Passing options[:hash] is not public API of include!. That was removed. https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/commit/5cbf9317051002a32c90c3f995b8b2f126f70d0c

• ActiveModel::Serializer::Associations::Config is now ActiveModel::Serializer::Association but it's an internal thing so shouldn't bother. ActiveModel::Serializer::Associations::Has* are now ActiveModel::Serializer::Association::Has* and inherit from ActiveModel::Serializer::Association https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/commit/f5de334ddf1f3b9764d914a717311532021785d2 https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/commit/3dd422d99e8c57f113880da34f6abe583c4dadf9

• serialize_ids call methods on the corresponding serializer if they are defined, instead of talking directly with the serialized object. Serializers are decorators so we shouldn't talk directly with serialized objects.

• Array items are not wrapped anymore in root element.

• Remove support for ruby 1.8 versions.

• Require rails >= 3.2.

VERSION 0.8.1

• Fix bug whereby a serializer using 'options' would blow up.

VERSION 0.8.0

• Attributes can now have optional types.

• A new DefaultSerializer ensures that POROs behave the same way as ActiveModels.

• If you wish to override ActiveRecord::Base#to_Json, you can now require 'active_record/serializer_override'. We don't recommend you do this, but many users do, so we've left it optional.

• Fixed a bug where ActionController wouldn't always have MimeResponds.

• An optinal caching feature allows you to cache JSON & hashes that AMS uses. Adding 'cached true' to your Serializers will turn on this cache.

• URL helpers used inside of Engines now work properly.

• Serializers now can filter attributes with only and except:

  UserSerializer.new(user, only: [:first_name, :last_name])
  UserSerializer.new(user, except: :first_name)
  

• Basic Mongoid support. We now include our mixins in the right place.

• On Ruby 1.8, we now generate an id method that properly serializes id columns. See issue #127 for more.

• Add an alias for scope method to be the name of the context. By default this is current_user. The name is automatically set when using serialization_scope in the controller.

• Pass through serialization options (such as :include) when a model has no serializer defined.

VERSION 0.7.0

• embed_key option to allow embedding by attributes other than IDs
• Fix rendering nil with custom serializer
• Fix global self.root = false
• Add support for specifying the serializer for an association as a String
• Able to specify keys on the attributes method
• Serializer Reloading via ActiveSupport::DescendantsTracker
• Reduce double map to once; Fixes datamapper eager loading.

VERSION 0.6.0

• Serialize sets properly
• Add root option to ArraySerializer
• Support polymorphic associations
• Support :each_serializer in ArraySerializer
• Add scope method to easily access the scope in the serializer
• Fix regression with Rails 3.2.6; add Rails 4 support
• Allow serialization_scope to be disabled with serialization_scope nil
• Array serializer should support pure ruby objects besides serializers

VERSION 0.5.0 (May 16, 2012)

• First tagged version
• Changes generators to always generate an ApplicationSerializer
