+module ActiveRecord #:nodoc:
+ module Serialization
+ include ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml
+
+ # Builds an XML document to represent the model. Some configuration is
+ # available through +options+. However more complicated cases should
+ # override ActiveRecord::Base#to_xml.
+ #
+ # By default the generated XML document will include the processing
+ # instruction and all the object's attributes. For example:
+ #
+ # <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ # <topic>
+ # <title>The First Topic</title>
+ # <author-name>David</author-name>
+ # <id type="integer">1</id>
+ # <approved type="boolean">false</approved>
+ # <replies-count type="integer">0</replies-count>
+ # <bonus-time type="dateTime">2000-01-01T08:28:00+12:00</bonus-time>
+ # <written-on type="dateTime">2003-07-16T09:28:00+1200</written-on>
+ # <content>Have a nice day</content>
+ # <author-email-address>david@loudthinking.com</author-email-address>
+ # <parent-id></parent-id>
+ # <last-read type="date">2004-04-15</last-read>
+ # </topic>
+ #
+ # This behavior can be controlled with <tt>:only</tt>, <tt>:except</tt>,
+ # <tt>:skip_instruct</tt>, <tt>:skip_types</tt>, <tt>:dasherize</tt> and <tt>:camelize</tt> .
+ # The <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> options are the same as for the
+ # +attributes+ method. The default is to dasherize all column names, but you
+ # can disable this setting <tt>:dasherize</tt> to +false+. Setting <tt>:camelize</tt>
+ # to +true+ will camelize all column names - this also overrides <tt>:dasherize</tt>.
+ # To not have the column type included in the XML output set <tt>:skip_types</tt> to +true+.
+ #
+ # For instance:
+ #
+ # topic.to_xml(skip_instruct: true, except: [ :id, :bonus_time, :written_on, :replies_count ])
+ #
+ # <topic>
+ # <title>The First Topic</title>
+ # <author-name>David</author-name>
+ # <approved type="boolean">false</approved>
+ # <content>Have a nice day</content>
+ # <author-email-address>david@loudthinking.com</author-email-address>
+ # <parent-id></parent-id>

+ # To include first level associations use <tt>:include</tt>:
+ #
+ # firm.to_xml include: [ :account, :clients ]
+ #
+ # <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ # <firm>
+ # <id type="integer">1</id>
+ # <rating type="integer">1</rating>
+ # <name>37signals</name>
+ # <clients type="array">
+ # <client>
+ # <rating type="integer">1</rating>
+ # <name>Summit</name>
+ # </client>
+ # <client>
+ # <rating type="integer">1</rating>
+ # <name>Microsoft</name>
+ # </client>
+ # </clients>
+ # <account>
+ # <id type="integer">1</id>
+ # <credit-limit type="integer">50</credit-limit>
+ # </account>
+ # </firm>
+ #
+ # Additionally, the record being serialized will be passed to a Proc's second
+ # parameter. This allows for ad hoc additions to the resultant document that
+ # incorporate the context of the record being serialized. And by leveraging the
+ # closure created by a Proc, to_xml can be used to add elements that normally fall
+ # outside of the scope of the model -- for example, generating and appending URLs
+ # associated with models.
+ #
+ # proc = Proc.new { |options, record| options[:builder].tag!('name-reverse', record.name.reverse) }
+ # firm.to_xml procs: [ proc ]
+ #
+ # <firm>
+ # # ... normal attributes as shown above ...
+ # <name-reverse>slangis73</name-reverse>
+ # </firm>
+ #
+ # To include deeper levels of associations pass a hash like this:
+ #
+ # firm.to_xml include: {account: {}, clients: {include: :address}}
+ # <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ # <firm>
+ # <id type="integer">1</id>
+ # <rating type="integer">1</rating>
+ # <name>37signals</name>
+ # <clients type="array">
+ # <client>
+ # <rating type="integer">1</rating>
+ # <name>Summit</name>
+ # <address>
+ # ...
+ # </address>
+ # </client>
+ # <client>
+ # <rating type="integer">1</rating>
+ # <name>Microsoft</name>
+ # <address>
+ # ...
+ # </address>
+ # </client>
+ # </clients>
+ # <account>
+ # <id type="integer">1</id>
+ # <credit-limit type="integer">50</credit-limit>
+ # </account>
+ # </firm>
+ #
+ # To include any methods on the model being called use <tt>:methods</tt>:
+ #
+ # firm.to_xml methods: [ :calculated_earnings, :real_earnings ]
+ #
+ # <firm>
+ # # ... normal attributes as shown above ...
+ # <calculated-earnings>100000000000000000</calculated-earnings>
+ # <real-earnings>5</real-earnings>
+ # </firm>
+ #
+ # To call any additional Procs use <tt>:procs</tt>. The Procs are passed a
+ # modified version of the options hash that was given to +to_xml+:
+ #
+ # proc = Proc.new { |options| options[:builder].tag!('abc', 'def') }
+ # firm.to_xml procs: [ proc ]
+ #
+ # <firm>
+ # # ... normal attributes as shown above ...
+ # <abc>def</abc>
+ # </firm>
+ #
+ # Alternatively, you can yield the builder object as part of the +to_xml+ call:
+ #
+ # firm.to_xml do |xml|
+ # xml.creator do
+ # xml.first_name "David"
+ # xml.last_name "Heinemeier Hansson"
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # <firm>
+ # # ... normal attributes as shown above ...
+ # <creator>
+ # <first_name>David</first_name>
+ # <last_name>Heinemeier Hansson</last_name>
+ # </creator>
+ # </firm>
+ #
+ # As noted above, you may override +to_xml+ in your ActiveRecord::Base
+ # subclasses to have complete control about what's generated. The general
+ # form of doing this is:
+ #
+ # class IHaveMyOwnXML < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # def to_xml(options = {})
+ # require 'builder'
+ # options[:indent] ||= 2
+ # xml = options[:builder] ||= ::Builder::XmlMarkup.new(indent: options[:indent])
+ # xml.instruct! unless options[:skip_instruct]
+ # xml.level_one do
+ # xml.tag!(:second_level, 'content')
+ # end
+ # end
+ # end
+ def to_xml(options = {}, &block)
+ XmlSerializer.new(self, options).serialize(&block)
+ end
+ end
