[Feature request] Registering types to avoid repeating serializers
Closed this issue · 1 comments
I find myself repeating serializers in the jsonMember
decorator. Example:
@jsonMember(decimalSerializer)
minimumPriceBlackWhite: Decimal;
@jsonMember(decimalSerializer)
minimumPriceColor: Decimal;
@jsonArrayMember(PrinterOption)
options: Array<PrinterOption>;
@jsonMember(decimalSerializer)
purchasePrice: Decimal;
Decimal
, in this case, is a object provided by a third party library. It would be nice if I could to the following:
TypedJSON.setGlobalConfig({
mappedTypes: [
[Decimal, decimalSerializer],
],
});
This way I can avoid repeating the serializer. It would also allow us to make our own serializers for native types such as Date
.
This structure could be stored as a Map. Eager to know your opinion.
Hi @MatthiasKunnen, sounds cool. If you look into the implementation, currently the serlization/deserialization process is basically an inlined strategy. I was thinking about changing that into a proper strategy for other purposes but IMO it would enable this feature nicely. Although, frankly speaking, I am not sure how long it would take me as my dev time is limited at the moment. But, we will gladly accept any pull requests :D
