I have a postgres DB backing my Rails app with a class with a jsonb column
class Product < AR::B
include Storext.model(data: {})
store_attributes :data do
thing_one String
thing_two Boolean # Not actually showing up in the `data` hash
foos FooCollection[Foo]
end
end
class FooCollection < Array
def <<(obj)
if Hash
super(Coupon.new(obj)
else
# Other coersions
end
end
end
class Foo
include Storext.model
attribute :id, Integer
attribute :price, Float
attribute :regular_price, Float
end
But Foo in the terminal is returning undefined method after_initialize for Foo:Class
Is there a way to nest Storext
models the same way it is with Virtus
? And if so is there an idiomatic way to add validations on the nested classes? (Abandoning Storext, and a pure Virtus solution would also answer the question)
Maybe this is an A/B problem because I just included Virtus in FooCollection and it also disappeared from the data
hash (which I consider weird since Storext
is based on Virtus
and can accept Virtus
methods).
Storext was created to type-cast simple values only. I haven't played around storing complex objects in Virtus myself, and I'm still undecided whether or not that should be part of Storext. While it uses Virtus in the background, I don't think it should implement everything Virtus can do.
A little late to the party, but I hope this helps.
