Breaking change:
- Adapters now inherit Adapter::Base
- 'Adapter' is now a module, no longer a class
Why?
- using a class as a namespace that you also inherit from is complicated and circular at time i.e.
buggy (see https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/pull/1177)
- The class methods on Adapter aren't necessarily related to the instance methods, they're more
Adapter functions
- named `Base` because it's a Rails-ism
- It helps to isolate and highlight what the Adapter interface actually is
It's a new implementation of cache based on ActiveSupport::Cache.
The implementation abstracts the cache in Adapter class on a
private method called cached_object, this method is intended
to be used on Adapters inside serializable_hash method in order
to cache each instance of the object that will be returned by
the serializer.
Some of its features are:
- A different syntax. (no longer need the cache_key method).
- An options argument that have the same arguments of ActiveSupport::Cache::Store, plus a key option that will be the prefix of the object cache on a pattern "#{key}-#{object.id}".
- It cache the objects individually and not the whole Serializer return, re-using it in different requests (as a show and a index method for example.)
