Serializable

Unified serialization/deserialization interface.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     serializable:
       github: jgaskins/serializable

2. Run shards install

Usage

In your serializable objects, include the Serializable::Object mixin:

require "serializable/object"

struct Post
  include Serializable::Object

  getter id : UUID
  getter title : String
  getter body : String
  getter author_id : UUID
  getter author_display_name : String
  getter published_at : Time
end

Make sure you require any of the adapters needed for the serialization formats you are using:

require "serializable/json"
require "serializable/msgpack"
require "serializable/db"

These adapters add the from_#{format} / to_#{format} methods. If you only need JSON, you can simply require the serializable/json adapter.

If you need additional serialization formats, please open an issue or a PR.

Development

This is still early days for this shard. The development process hasn't been ironed out yet.
