Whether it is necessary to carry away optional things in one serialized field of a DB?
All the time I decided in different ways, I decided to clarify how it would be better and more practical to be with optional recording things. Suppose there is a News model, each entry of this model can have some options that are specified by the admin panel, for example, how and where to show on the main page, block background colors, etc. For each option, adding a bunch of fields to the model / database is expensive, although it needs to be shown in separate fields in the admin panel, I thought maybe add one Record Options field and store such things serialized there? when asked, wrap in which class the News Options and I will play with them as if I pulled them out of the links.
In general, on the one hand, a bunch of separate fields in the database, on the other, one serialized field. Well, or can, again, a separate model / table with options, which can be obtained through links?
