Non-column attributes

[zernie]

Having a resource like this:

class Api::V1::TripResource < Api::V1::BaseResource
  attribute :test

  def test
    123
  end
end

$ rails g jsonapi:swagger Api::V1::Trip fails with jsonapi-swagger-0.7.1/lib/generators/jsonapi/swagger/templates/swagger.json.erb:80:in block (2 levels) in properties': undefined method []' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

It's not easy to guess what type will the given method return, so I suppose a string will do for now

At present, the attribute type in resource comes from the type of the field in the database, so you need to associate wth active record.

[zernie]

@superiorlu I understand that, but this restriction greatly limits the usefulness of this lib.
I'd suggest that when it is not possible to identify the type of the attribute using the DB, use string type as a default and emit a warning. Maybe add a treat_unknown_attribute_type_as = :string config option?

Thanks.

[superiorlu]

yes, that's good idea. we can support this config option.
