A.12. Serialization

Serialization is a module to include in your models when you want to represent your model as a serializable hash. You only need to define an attributes method and the rest is handled for you.

class User
  include ActiveModel::Serialization
  attr_accessor :first_name, :last_name

  def attributes
    { 'first_name' => @first_name, 'last_name' => @last_name }
  end
end
