V2-to-V4 Converters

A set of odata2ts compatible converters to convert certain OData V2 types to their V4 analog. Thus, other converters only need to take care of the V4 data models.

Conversions

OData V2 Type	Result Type	Converter Id	Description
`Edm.DateTime`	`Edm.DateTimeOffset`	dateTimeToDateTimeOffsetConverter	Converts "/Date(123...)/" to ISO8601 "2022-02-22T12:00:00Z"; offsets are supported "/Date(123..+120)/"
`Edm.Byte`	`number`	stringToNumberConverter
`Edm.SByte`	`number`	stringToNumberConverter
`Edm.Single`	`number`	stringToNumberConverter
`Edm.Double`	`number`	stringToNumberConverter
`Edm.Int64`	`numberstring`	stringToNumberConverterbigNumberNoopConverter	By default, converted to `number`, with the help of the noop converter `string`
`Edm.Decimal`	`numberstring`	stringToNumberConverterbigNumberNoopConverter	By default, converted to `number`, with the help of the noop converter `string`
`Edm.Time`	`Edm.TimeOfDay`	timeToTimeOfDayConverter	Converts duration format to time format, e.g. `PT12H15M` to `12:15:00`
`Edm.Time`	`Edm.Duration`	timeToDurationConverter	Relabels `Edm.Time` to `Edm.Duration` (no conversion required); not a default converter

Note on Big Numbers

Edm.Int64 & Edm.Decimal get converted to the number type as V4 does it. However, please note that those numbers potentially don't fit into JS' number type, which might result in precision loss.

In order to prevent such precision loss, you could use additional converters after this converter, e.g. int64ToBigIntConverter from the common converter package.

Alternatively, you can use the bigNumberNoopConverter from this package to keep those types as string. This would like this in the odata2ts configuration:

{
  converters: [{
    module: "@odata2ts/converter-v2-to-v4",
    use: [
      "stringToNumberConverter",
      "bigNumberNoopConverter",
      "dateTimeToDateTimeOffsetConverter",
      "timeToTimeOfDayConverter"
    ]
  }]
}

npm install --save @odata2ts/converter-v2-to-v4

Spirit

This project has been created and is maintained in the following spirit:

adhere to the OData specification as much as possible
- support any OData service implementation which conforms to the spec
- allow to work around faulty implementations if possible
stability matters
- exercise Test Driven Development
- bomb the place with unit tests (code coverage > 95%)
- ensure that assumptions & understanding are correct by creating integration tests
