Hello,
In my Rails 3.1 application, I need to read the raw data of a field,
without serialization, and then write it down without serialization. Is
this possible? How?
By serialization I mean
class Tenant
serialize :profile_template
end
which I can access like this:
t.profile_template
=> [{:title=>“Page 1”, …}]
I tried several approaches, none of them worked. With
read_attribute_before_type_cast:
t.read_attribute_before_type_cast(:profile_template)
=> nil
Using a string instead of a symbol had a different but disappointing
result:
t.read_attribute_before_type_cast(“profile_template”)
=> [{:title=>“Page 1”, …}]
and same with the attribute name:
t.profile_template_before_type_cast
=> [{:title=>“Page 1”, …}]
Just for the record, what I was expecting is:
"—
- :title: Page 1
…"
In all samples, … is the rest of a very long structure.
