serialize-interceptor v1.1.6

Overview

SerializeInterceptor

intercept request/response, and deserialize/serialize to dto data.

1. for request, snake -> camel. (you can retrieve dto using camel, for snake cases json input)
2. for response, camel -> snake. (you can send dto using camel, and client retrieve snake case json input)

in short, json layer: snake model layer: camel

It also works to nested object.

example

when client send below data,

{
  "name": "nolleh",
  "email": "nolleh7707@gmail.com",
  "some_snake_data": "hello world"
  "live": {
    "country": "South Korea",
    "city": "Seongnam",
    "some_snake_data": "hello world2"
  }
}

you can retrieve as (in code)

class LiveDto {
  country,
  city,
  someSnakeData
}

class MyDto {
  name,
  email,
  someSnakeData,
  live,
}

Usage

in your main code, put this. you can check this code from

import { SerializeInterceptor } from 'serialize-interceptor';
import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
...
const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
/** use our interceptor **/
app.useGlobalInterceptors(new SerializeInterceptor);

// @since 1.1.5
// if you want to customize serializer, then put your strategy.
// const strategy: Strategy = {
//   in: DEFAULT_STRATEGY.in,
//   out: (v) => {
//     // return 'test-swallow up!';
//     return snakeToCamel(v)
//   },
// };
// app.useGlobalInterceptors(new SerializeInterceptor(strategy));

OR in module

@Module({
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [
    {
      provide: APP_INTERCEPTOR,
      useClass: SerializeInterceptor,
    },

    /**  @since 1.1.5
    // if you want to customize serializer, then put your strategy.
    {
      provide: Strategy,
      useFactory: () => ({
        in: DEFAULT_STRATEGY.in,
        out: (v) => {
          // return 'test-swallow up!';
          // your custom func. the default for 'out' is.. snakeToCamel.
          return snakeToCamel(v);
        },
      }),
    },
    **/
})

export class AppModule {}

Customed Serializer (Strategy)

you can put your serialize strategy as you wish, that briefly shown in above snippet.

serializeInterceptor provides classes to help definition your own class.

/** because the regenerated value's field is differ from original,
 * it is hard to declare return type.
 * the input type is also not meaningful.
 *
 * in: request layer (default: snakeToCamel),
 * out: response layer (default: camelToSnake).
 *
 * i.e. const DEFAULT_STRATEGY: Strategy = { in: snakeToCamel, out: camelToSnake };
 */
export class Strategy {
  in: (value: any) => any;
  out: (value: any) => any;
}
export const DEFAULT_STRATEGY: Strategy = {
  in: snakeToCamel,
  out: camelToSnake,
};

as you can see, implementing class Strategy that contains in/out function, and put it as constructor (by injecting or creating new one), then the interceptor will work as you defined.

🤔 is there A strategy that one you want to be provided by this lib?
let me know!
