infinite loop when using "format" as field name

[mikeni]

In dsl.ex, if you have :format as attribute

def default_attributes(serializer, struct, conn) do serializer.__attributes |> Enum.map(&({&1, apply(serializer, &1, [struct, conn])}))

you get

warning: Elixir.MyApp.V1.PhotoView.format/3 is deprecated. Please use JaSerializer.format/4 instead, eg: JaSerializer.format(Elixir.MyApp.V1.PhotoView, data, conn, opts)

and it seems to infinitely loop

This will be fixed with 1.0.0 when we remove the deprecated function.

In the meantime, how can you workaround it to use format as an attribute name?

[beerlington]

@coneybeare you can use the attributes/2 callback to serialize any conflicting keywords like format:

defmodule MySerializer do
  def attributes(record, _conn) do
    Map.take(record, [:format])
  end
end
