Usage

Data preparation

The following data type can be used for serialization.

Method .new

serial = SerialDto.new(attributes)

ActiveRecord

serial = Serial.find(id)

Validation

When serializing, if problems occur, an exception will be thrown. If you need to handle this behavior, you can use the form method.

The prepared data must be passed to the form method:

form = SerialDto.form(serial)

You can validate the data using one of the following methods:

form.valid? # => true
form.invalid? # => false

You can obtain information about an object and model using these methods:

form.target # => SerialDto
form.model # => { ... }

If you need to update a value in the model, then these methods are intended for this:

form.update(title: "New title")

form.update_by(0, title: "New title") # For collection

And finally, serialization is possible through calling the serialize method:

form.serialize # => { ... }

Call

The example above demonstrates serialization from form. But this is also possible directly from the DTO class. In this case, if problems arise, the exception Datory::Exceptions::SerializationError will be thrown.

SerialDto.serialize(serial) # => { ... }
