Pass options to ActiveModelSerializers 0.9.0

Question

Is there a way I can pass options to new version of AMS like this answer shows?

Answer 1

You can parse options Hash when creating a new instance of a serializer, but the only attribute it will use is the :root as you can see on ActiveModel::Serializer source code:

def initialize(object, options = {})
  @object = object
  @root   = options[:root] || (self.class._root ? self.class.root_name : false)
end

You can override this method on you Serializer class and use the rest of the options as you wish:

class PostSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
  attributes :title, :body

  def initialize(object, options = {})
    super(object, options)
    # Your custom code goes here
  end
end
