Pb::Serializer
is Protocol Buffers serializer for Ruby objects.
- Declarative APIs such as ActiveModelSerializers
- Automatic conversion to Well-Known Types (e.g.
google.protobuf.Uint64Value
) - Support for GraphQL-like selective field fetching using
google.protobuf.FieldMask
.- When combined with ComputedModel, APIs with complex logic and dependencies can be implemented declaratively.
The following is an example of a message definition and ActiveRecord model for Protocol Buffers.
syntax = "proto3";
package example;
option ruby_package = "ExamplesPb";
message User {
uint64 id = 1;
string name = 2;
}
# Schema: [id(integer), name(string)]
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
end
Implements a PbSerializer for the User
message defined in .proto
.
You need to declare the generated class and all defined fields in the PbSerializer.
class UserPbSerializer < Pb::Serializer::Base
message ExamplesPb::User
attribute :id
attribute :name
end
You can serialize Ruby objects to protobuf message object with the implemented PbSerializer.
user = User.find(123)
UserPbSerializer.new(user).to_pb
# => <ExamplesPb::User: id: 123, name: "someuser">
The value of each attribute is determined from the PbSerializer instance or the object passed to the constructor.
