Typescript types?

[Aryk]

Two questions:

1. Has anyone started writing types for the newer version of this package? Maybe we can share in this doc and/or get something up on DefinitelyTyped. I know there is ts-jsonapi but it's not being heavily used, maintained, nor is it up to date with this package.

2. Do the maintainers have any interest in adding types directly to this package since the API isn't changing much? cc @SeyZ

I just made this recently, I will continue and add more features as I need them (or you are welcome to do it 👍 )

declare module 'jsonapi-serializer' {

    interface ISerializerOptions {
        id?: string
        attributes: string[]
        pluralizeType?: boolean
        typeForAttribute?: ITypeForAttribute
        meta?: any
        dataMeta?: any
    }

    interface ITypeForAttribute {
        (attribute: string, object?: any)
    }

    interface IDeserializerOptions {
        id?: string
        keyForAttribute?: 'dash-case' | 'lisp-case' | 'spinal-case' | 'kebab-case' | 'underscore_case' | 'snake_case' | 'camelCase' | 'CamelCase'
    }

    interface IDeserializerConstructor {
        new(opts: IDeserializerOptions): IDeserializer
    }

    interface ISerializerConstructor {
        new(collectionName: string, opts: ISerializerOptions): ISerializer
    }

    interface IErrorConstructor {
        new(opts: IJSONAPIErrorOptions): IJSONAPIError
    }

    interface IJSONAPIError {
        errors: any[]
    }

    interface IJSONAPIErrorOptions {
        id?: string
        status?: string
        code?: string
        title?: string
        detail?: string
        source: {

            parameter?: string
        }
        links?: {
            about?: string
        }
        meta?: any
    }

    interface ISerializer {
        serialize(data: any): any
    }

    interface IDeserializer {
        deserialize(data: any, callback: ICallback): void
        deserialize(data: any): Promise<any>
    }

    interface ICallback {
        (error: Error, response: any)
    }

    export let Serializer: ISerializerConstructor
    export let Deserializer: IDeserializerConstructor
    export let Error: IErrorConstructor
}

little bit extended variant

Maybe you could submit a PR to Definitely Typed ?

Made a few additions to ISerializerOptions above:

declare module 'jsonapi-serializer' {
  type RefFunction = (current: any, item: any) => string;

  export interface IRelation {
    ref: string | RefFunction;
    attributes?: string[];
    included?: boolean;
  }

  interface ISerializerOptions {
    ref?: Function | boolean | string;
    included?: boolean;
    id?: string;
    attributes?: string[];
    topLevelLinks?: string[] | Function[];
    dataLinks?: string[] | Function[];
    dataMeta?: Function | object;
    relationshipLinks?: object;
    relationshipMeta?: object;
    ignoreRelationshipData?: boolean;
    keyForAttribute?: string | IKeyForAttribute;
    nullIfMissing?: boolean;
    pluralizeType?: boolean;
    typeForAttribute?: ITypeForAttribute;
    meta?: object;
    transform?: Function;
  }

  interface IKeyForAttribute {
    (attribute: string): string;
  }

  interface ITypeForAttribute {
    (attribute: string, object?: any): any;
  }

  interface ITransform {
    (record: any): any;
  }

  interface IDeserializerOptions {
    id?: string;
    keyForAttribute?:
      | 'dash-case'
      | 'lisp-case'
      | 'spinal-case'
      | 'kebab-case'
      | 'underscore_case'
      | 'snake_case'
      | 'camelCase'
      | 'CamelCase';
    pluralizeType?: boolean;
    typeAsAttribute?: boolean;
    transform?: ITransform;
  }

  interface IDeserializerConstructor {
    new (opts: IDeserializerOptions): IDeserializer;
  }

  interface ISerializerConstructor {
    new (collectionName: string, opts: ISerializerOptions): ISerializer;
  }

  interface IErrorConstructor {
    new (opts: IJSONAPIErrorOptions): IJSONAPIError;
  }

  interface IJSONAPIError {
    errors: any[];
  }

  interface IJSONAPIErrorOptions {
    id?: string;
    status?: string;
    code?: string;
    title?: string;
    detail?: string;
    source: {
      pointer?: string;
      parameter?: string;
    };
    links?: {
      about?: string;
    };
    meta?: any;
  }

  interface ISerializer {
    serialize(data: any): any;
  }

  interface IDeserializer {
    deserialize(data: any, callback: ICallback): void;

    deserialize(data: any): Promise<any>;
  }

  interface ICallback {
    (error: Error, response: any): any;
  }

  // noinspection TsLint
  export let Serializer: ISerializerConstructor;
  // noinspection TsLint
  export let Deserializer: IDeserializerConstructor;
  // noinspection TsLint
  export let Error: IErrorConstructor;
}

If I find time, I'll try to submit a PR to DT.

[johannesschobel]

@chiangf what is the status of this?

[chiangf]

@johannesschobel just pushed a PR into dt

[johannesschobel]

Thanks

[chiangf]

We should be able to resolve this issue now that DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#32057 has been merged 👍

[johannesschobel]

Dear @chiangf ,

i have a question regarding your typings.. I was trying to add relationships to a serializer, however, i did not manage to solve this issue.
Here is my code so far:

    const serializer = new Serializer('users', {
      attributes: ['username', 'email', 'createdAt', 'updatedAt', 'projects'],
      keyForAttribute: 'camelCase',

      projects: {
        ref: 'id',
        included: true,
        attributes: ['name', 'description'],
      }
    });

The IDE indicates the projects with the red squiggly lines, saing that there is no property projects in the SerializerOptions.

Unfortunately, i was not able to add an [prop: string]?: Relation property to the SerializerOptions to "fix" this.. How do you manage to add relations?

All the best

[jelovac]

I am using "@types/jsonapi-serializer": "^3.6.2", shouldn't the default opts constructor parameter be nullable for Deserializer?

By example in the README I see that it is optional.

[bvenchak]

@johannesschobel, I've added [key: string]: Relation | any; locally, to avoid these errors. Not the best solution, so if someone will be able to provide a better one that would be great! If not, I will send a PR later.

[OlexandrPopov]

export interface SerializerOptions {
    ref?: (() => void) | boolean | string;
    included?: boolean;
    id?: string;
    attributes?: string[];
    topLevelLinks?: string[] | Array<() => void>;
    dataLinks?: string[] | Array<() => void>;
    dataMeta?: (() => void) | object;
    relationshipLinks?: object;
    relationshipMeta?: object;
    ignoreRelationshipData?: boolean;
    keyForAttribute?: string | KeyForAttribute;
    nullIfMissing?: boolean;
    pluralizeType?: boolean;
    typeForAttribute?: TypeForAttribute;
    meta?: object;
    transform?: (() => void);
}

Is it correct that the dataLinks property is an array?

[kristof-mattei]

We're also missing something like:

export interface SerializerOptions {
    [key: string]: {
        valueForRelationship: (relationship) => any
        transform: (obj: any) => any
    };
}
