How to extract all attributes with Rails Jbuilder?

Question

It\'s a pain to write codes like this all the time in jbuilder.json template:

json.extract! notification, :id, :user_id, :notice_type, :message, :resource_ty         


        

Answer 1

Adding more to @uiureo 's answer

Suppose your Notification has some type of image uploaders (e.g. carrierwave,paperclip)

Then below version will not return you uploader object, so how do you get the image url?

json.merge! notification.attributes

notification.attributes is hash conversion of object, it will return mounted uploader column value but not the url.

sample response

notification: Object {
   title: "hellow world"
   img: "sample.png"
}

Instead try this

json.merge! notification.as_json

This will return mounted column as another object in which you can query for url.

sample response

notification: Object {
   title: "hellow world"
   img: Object {
       url: "https://www.example.com/sample.png"
   }
}

Answer 2

This is how I do it

json.property  do
  Property.column_names.each do |name|
     json.set! name, @property.try(name)
  end

  # has_ones:
  json.contact @property.contact
end

It's easy to see what's happening, add logic to omit fields etc doing it this way.

Answer 3

I'm using jbuilder 1.5.0 and merge! didn't work but I found an alternative syntax:

json.(notification, *notification.attributes.keys)

Answer 4

In case if you want to exclude any of the attributes. Ex: created_at and updated_at

json.merge! notification.attributes.reject{ |key, _| key.in?(['created_at', 'updated_at']) }

Answer 5

Maybe you can use json.merge!.

json.merge! notification.attributes

Answer 6

You may look at json.except!

json.except! @resource, :id, :updated_at

json.except! @resource
