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.
