class

Marten::DB::Field::JSON

Inherits Marten::DB::Field::Base / Reference / Object

Represent's a JSON field.

JSON model fields allow to automatically parse JSON columns and expose the corresponding JSON::Any object, which is the default behavior:

class MyModel < Marten::Model
  # Other fields...
  field :metadata, :json
end

It should be noted that it is also possible to specify a serializable option in order to specify a class that makes use of JSON::Serializable. When doing so, the parsing of the JSON values will result in the initialization of the corresponding serializable objects:

class MySerializable
  include JSON::Serializable

  property a : Int32 | Nil
  property b : String | Nil
end

class MyModel < Marten::Model
  # Other fields...
  field :metadata, :json, serializable: MySerializable
end
