It's a pain to write codes like this all the time in jbuilder.json template:
json.extract! notification, :id, :user_id, :notice_type, :message, :resource_type, :resource_id, :unread, :created_at, :updated_at
So I'd like to code like this;
json.extract_all! notification
I've found I can do it like the following codes, but they are still a bit lengthy to me.
notification.attributes.each do |key, value|
json.set!(key, value)
end
Is there any better way?
Maybe you can use json.merge!
.
json.merge! notification.attributes
https://github.com/rails/jbuilder/blob/master/lib/jbuilder.rb#L277
I'm using jbuilder 1.5.0 and merge! didn't work but I found an alternative syntax:
json.(notification, *notification.attributes.keys)
Adding more to @uiureo 's answer
Suppose your Notification has some type of image uploaders (e.g. carrierwave,paperclip)
Then below version will not return you uploader object, so how do you get the image url?
json.merge! notification.attributes
notification.attributes
is hash conversion of object, it will return mounted uploader column value but not the url.
sample response
notification: Object {
title: "hellow world"
img: "sample.png"
}
Instead try this
json.merge! notification.as_json
This will return mounted column as another object in which you can query for url.
sample response
notification: Object {
title: "hellow world"
img: Object {
url: "https://www.example.com/sample.png"
}
}
You may look at json.except!
json.except! @resource, :id, :updated_at
json.except! @resource
