Pb::Serializer

Pb::Serializer is Protocol Buffers serializer for Ruby objects.

日本語版 README

• 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.

• Examples
