def serializable_hash(options = nil)
options ||= {}
Otherwise, passing in nil to `as_json` or `serializable_hash`
makes things blow up when passing nil into attributes
It's an upgrade based on the new Cache implementation #693.
It allows to use the Rails conventions to cache
specific attributes or associations.
It's based on the Cache Composition implementation.
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.)
