Description
Expected behavior vs actual behavior
Given a model with an attribute that is treated as a hash of options, I'm expecting AMS to deserialize the JSON payload so I can persist the "some-options" attribute (re-serialized as YAML by the ActiveRecord::Base "serialize" method) to the db as it did in [email protected].
But ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization.jsonapi_parse() is excluding the contents of "some-options" during deserialization. Other attributes are deserialized as expected.
Steps to reproduce
POSTed JSON payload:
{
"data": {
"attributes": {
"name": "John",
"some-options": {
"key1": "value 1",
"key2": "value 2"
}
},
"type": "courses"
}
}
Model:
class Course < ApplicationRecord
validates :name, presence: true
serialize :some_options
end
Controller:
class Api::CoursesController < ApplicationController
def create
course = Course.new(course_params)
if course.save
render json: course
else
render json: course.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity
end
end
def course_params
ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization.jsonapi_parse(params, only: [
:name,
some_options: option_keys
])
end
def option_keys
params.dig('data','attributes').fetch('some-options', {}).keys
end
end
config/initializers/json_api.rb
ActiveSupport.on_load(:action_controller) do
require 'active_model_serializers/register_jsonapi_renderer'
end
ActiveModelSerializers.config.adapter = :json_api
ActiveModelSerializers.config.key_transform = :unaltered
Environment
ActiveModelSerializers Version (commit ref if not on tag): 0.10.6
Output of ruby -e "puts RUBY_DESCRIPTION": ruby 2.3.4p301 (2017-03-30 revision 58214) [x86_64-darwin16]
OS Type & Version: OSX 10.12.4
Integrated application and version (e.g., Rails, Grape, etc): [email protected]
For reference this is a migration to [email protected] and JSONAPI from [email protected]. Our Ember frontend was using "ActiveModelAdapter", so we had Ember dealing with key transforms and serialization on requests coming to Rails and our strong params implementation wasn't being "deserialized" as they are in [email protected].
