Function JsonComplexProperty

Decorator for complex-type properties to be (de)serialized correctly. Use this if the property is of a non-array type that needs recursive (de)serialization.

Uses only the name property of the params.

Usage examples:

import { JsonClass, JsonMapper, JsonProperty, JsonComplexProperty } from '@mdcc/at-json';

@JsonClass()
class SubClass
{
  @JsonProperty()
  foo: string;
}

@JsonClass()
class MyClass
{
   @JsonComplexProperty(SubClass)
   sub1: SubClass;

   @JsonComplexProperty(SubClass, 'extSub2')
   sub2: SubClass;
}

const backendObject = {
  sub1: { foo: 'bar' },
  extSub2: { foo: 'baz' }
};
const mapper = new JsonMapper();
const deserialized = mapper.deserialize<MyClass>(MyClass, backendObject);

// sub1 keeps the same name
assert.isInstanceOf(deserialized.sub1, SubClass);
assert.equal(deserialized.sub1.foo, 'bar');

// extSub2 became sub2
assert.isInstanceOf(deserialized.sub2, SubClass);
assert.equal(deserialized.sub2.foo, 'baz');

const backendObjectSerialized = mapper.serialize(deserialized);
// reverse conversion was performed
assert.deepEqual(backendObjectSerialized, backendObject);
