Build objects from YAML and include non-object attributes

Vote count:

I'm mocking out some sample data for a landing page. I'm loading the objects from a YAML file. I need to additionally assign some "accessory" data to each object that are not attributes from my schema.

@data = YAML.load_file("#{Rails.root}/lib/tasks/sample_foo.yml")


---
- !ruby/object:Foo
  attributes:
    username: jdoe
    text: Hello World
    customer_type: A   # Not a Foo attribute
- !ruby/object:Foo
  attributes:
    username: mnort
    text: Hi
    customer_type: B   # Not a Foo attribute

This doesn't work because customer_type is not a Foo attribute.

I would just use hashes, but I need to load the data as objects to use pre-existing view partials for these objects.
