  end

  def capitalized_name
    name.capitalize
  end
end

person = Person.new
person.name = 'bob'
person.age  = 22
person.serializable_hash                # => {"name"=>"bob", "age"=>22}
person.serializable_hash(only: :name)   # => {"name"=>"bob"}
person.serializable_hash(except: :name) # => {"age"=>22}
person.serializable_hash(methods: :capitalized_name)
# => {"name"=>"bob", "age"=>22, "capitalized_name"=>"Bob"}
