Initial attempt at a formal extension API as part of #341. I've built a POC ActiveRecord automagic preloader against this and #357.
In this proposal, an "extension" is a class inheriting from
Blueprinter::Extension
and passed toBlueprinter.configure
. This PR defines only one extension method:pre_render
. It intercepts whatever is passed to.render
and returns (potentially) a modified result.In the simplified version of my POC below, the extension figures out which associations to preload from the Blueprint view (using reflection), and returns the
ActiveRecord::Relation
withpreload
called.
