Definable

Definable is developed for TypeScript projects and allows the deserialization of JSON data to classes and serialize them back into JSON data.

class Country extends Definable {
  name: string = ""
  countryCode: string = ""

  definition({ prop }: DefinableDefinition): void {

      .useDeserializer((data) => this.name = data ?? "")
      .useSerializer(() => this.name)
    prop<string>("countryCode")
      .useDeserializer((data) => this.countryCode = data ?? "")
      .useSerializer(() => this.countryCode)
  }
}

const country = new Country().deserialize({
  name: "Denmark",
  countryCode: "DK"
})

const dataToStore = country.serialize()
