Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'finest-builder'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install finest-builder
OpenStruct and accessor builder modules.
Initialize an instance using json data, including the Builder class on your class definition. Once initialized just use the accessors as any other instance.
class Issue
include Finest::Struct
def initialize(json = {}, _keys = [])
super json
end
end
issue = Issue.new({id: 1234})
issue.id # => 1234
Finest-Builder includes another helper that can be used to initialize ActiveRecord models based on its column names. In case not using column names but an array of method names, new accessors would be crated to access those methods.
class Issue < ApplicationRecord
include Finest::Helper
end
issue = Issue.new.build_by_keys({id: 1234,text: "hocus pocus"}, Issue.column_names) # => Issue.column_names = id:
issue.as_json # => {id: 1234}
issue.to_h # => nil
issue = Issue.new.build_by_keys({id: 1234,text: "hocus pocus"}) # => Issue.column_names = id:
issue.id # => {id: 1234}
issue.text # => {text: "hocus pocus"}
issue.as_json #=> {id: 1234,text: "hocus pocus"}
issue.to_h # => nil
Call build_by_keys method once the model has been initialized passing a json message, it would yield itself as a block in case you want to perform further actions.
build_by_keys(**args)
This method would also create an instance variable called @to_h contains a pair-value hash as a result. @to_h instance variable won't be available if the class inherits from ActiveRecord::Base
Finest-Builder comes with two extra methods to search and create instance variable and methods. It creates a instance variable along with its accessor methods (read/write).
accessor_builder(key, value)
This method goes through the whole object, being a hash, looking for the passed key and return the value found.
nested_hash_value(obj, key)
