Get original JSONB attribute hash

[ChristianClassen]

Hello,

first of all, thanks for this great gem!

I would like to know, if there is a way to simply get back the whole data hash and not just a localized version of the nested content when reading a JSONB attribute?

Example:

# I18n.locale = :en
# Currently
Post.first.description #=> "Hello World"

# I need the whole JSONB hash
Post.first.description #=> {'en': 'Hello World', 'de': 'Hallo Welt'}

Hi! Thanks for good feedback

One way to do this is to use hash-like access:

Post.first[:description] #=> {'en' => 'Hello World', 'de' => 'Hallo Welt'}

This may not be the best solution though, so suggestions are welcome

You should also add the ability to pass the needed locale as a parameter. For example:

@post.description(locale: "en")

or as part of the method name:

@post.description_en
