Adding one more field into Representer

[Alberto Leal]

Hi guys!

I'm using representable to create a representer for my collection of apis. I would like to add one more field which isn't mapped in my model (item_count - representing the total items in my collection). Is there any automatic way to achieve that with the gem? Otherwise, how can I do that manually?

thanks a lot!

Hi all!

Just tried with a simple scenario and adding a new property and setting that works:

property :age

def age; 8; end;

I think the problem is with the object returned by usergrid_iron gem. Going to investigate it deeply.

thanks!

Hi Alberto,

when using the module representer (not the decorator) you can simply add methods and then define properties on that, as you already did. You can also use :getter and :setter if you prefer a lambda:

property :age, getter: lambda { |*| @age_from_usergrid }

The lambdas are executed in the represented model's context. Check here for more docs: https://github.com/apotonick/representable/#passing-options (also the next paragraph "Using Helpers"). Anything else you're having trouble with?
