From ab11a2780fe8e059ffc8824df18037773a4f5200 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francesco Rodriguez Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 01:11:39 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] change AMS::JSON.include_root_in_json default value to false Changes: * Update `include_root_in_json` default value to false for default value to false for `ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON`. * Remove unnecessary change to include_root_in_json option in wrap_parameters template. * Update `as_json` documentation. * Fix JSONSerialization tests. Problem: It's confusing that AM serializers behave differently from AR, even when AR objects include AM serializers module. class User < ActiveRecord::Base; end class Person include ActiveModel::Model include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods include ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON attr_accessor :name, :age def attributes instance_values end end user.as_json => {"id"=>1, "name"=>"Konata Izumi", "age"=>16, "awesome"=>true} # root is not included person.as_json => {"person"=>{"name"=>"Francesco", "age"=>22}} # root is included ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json => false Person.include_root_in_json => true # different default values for include_root_in_json Proposal: Change the default value of AM serializers to false, update the misleading documentation and remove unnecessary change to false of include_root_in_json option with AR objects. class User < ActiveRecord::Base; end class Person include ActiveModel::Model include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods include ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON attr_accessor :name, :age def attributes instance_values end end user.as_json => {"id"=>1, "name"=>"Konata Izumi", "age"=>16, "awesome"=>true} # root is not included person.as_json => {"name"=>"Francesco", "age"=>22} # root is not included ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json => false Person.include_root_in_json => false # same behaviour, more consistent Fixes #6578. --- activemodel/CHANGELOG.md | 27 ++++++ .../lib/active_model/serializers/json.rb | 88 +++++++++--------- .../serializers/json_serialization_test.rb | 90 +++++++++---------- .../config/initializers/wrap_parameters.rb.tt | 8 +- 4 files changed, 115 insertions(+), 98 deletions(-) diff --git a/activemodel/CHANGELOG.md b/activemodel/CHANGELOG.md index 4ddafddbe0..5ee439fa3f 100644 --- a/activemodel/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/activemodel/CHANGELOG.md @@ -1,5 +1,32 @@ ## Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased) ## +* Changed `AM::Serializers::JSON.include_root_in_json' default value to false. + Now, AM Serializers and AR objects have the same default behaviour.
