How to add a field with custom method using JSON::Serializable

I don’t know if I’m working correctly with the Serializable but I have the follow example on github.

abnersajr/league-search-api/blob/255746897c308815f74ab0e1408882f4f6293479/src/serializer/search.cr#L42


      include JSON::Serializable


      property rank : Int16
      property dead : Bool
      property online : Bool
      property character : Character
      property account : Account
      property retired : Bool? = false
    end


    class Search
      include JSON::Serializable


      property total : Int16 = 0
      property cached_since : String = ""
      property entries : Array(Entries) = [] of LeagueSearchApi::Serializer::Entries
    end
  end
end

I would like to add a field for count unique_accounts. I want to count how many unique accounts I have.

Looking through my code on the Github Link how is the correct way to deal with it?

I have this class that too. However I think something is not well organized and being used in the correct way.

abnersajr/league-search-api/blob/255746897c308815f74ab0e1408882f4f6293479/src/search.cr

module LeagueSearchApi
  class Search
    LIMIT = 200
    @total : Int16
    @entries : Array(Serializer::Entries)
    @pages : Int16
    @cached_since: String

    def initialize(@json : Serializer::Search)
      @total = json.total
      @cached_since = json.cached_since
      @entries = json.entries
      @pages = pages || 0.to_i16
    end

    def pages
      @pages = (@total/ LIMIT).ceil.to_i16
    end

    def json

This file has been truncated. show original

Create a separated file for the “serializer” and the properties is correct or should be done in a different way?
