Immutable {json:api} deserializer

• {json:api} spec compliant
• maps included objects to resources
• does not mutate original response object

Install

yarn add deserialize-json-api

Usage

import { deserialize } from "deserialize-json-api";

const body = {
  data: {
    id: 1,
    type: "movie",
    attributes: { name: "test movie", year: 2014 },
    relationships: {
      actors: { data: [{ id: 1, type: "actor" }] },
      awards: {
        data: [
          {
            id: 4,
            type: "award",
            links: { self: "/awards/1" },
            meta: { verified: false },
          },
        ],
      },
    },
    links: { self: "/movies/1" },
    meta: { saved: false },
  },
  included: [
    {
      type: "actor",
      id: 1,
      attributes: { name: "John", age: 80 },
    },
    {
      type: "award",
      id: 4,
      attributes: { type: "Oscar", category: "Best director" },
    },
  ],
  meta: { copyright: "Copyright 2015 Example Corp." },
  errors: [{ title: "Error!" }],
};

const deserializedData = deserialize(body);

JSON.stringify(deserializedData) ===
  JSON.stringify({
    data: {
      id: 1,
      type: "movie",
      links: { self: "/movies/1" },
      meta: { saved: false },
      name: "test movie",
      year: 2014,
      actors: [
        {
          id: 1,
          type: "actor",
          name: "John",
          age: 80,
        },
      ],
      awards: [
        {
          id: 4,
          type: "Oscar",
          links: { self: "/awards/1" },
          meta: { verified: false },
          category: "Best director",
        },
      ],
    },
    meta: { copyright: "Copyright 2015 Example Corp." },
    errors: [{ title: "Error!" }],
  });

Options

camelCase

If you would like to have your object key camelCased you can pass an option:

const result = deserialize(body, { transformKeys: "camelCase" });

Currently the package will look for - and _ characters and transform it into camelCase.

first-name -> firstName
first_name -> firstName
