Class Transform
public
Module:
@ember-data/serializer
The Transform
class is used to serialize and deserialize model
attributes when they are saved or loaded from an
adapter. Subclassing Transform
is useful for creating custom
attributes. All subclasses of Transform
must implement a
serialize
and a deserialize
method.
Example
app/transforms/temperature.js
import Transform from '@ember-data/serializer/transform';
// Converts centigrade in the JSON to fahrenheit in the app
export default class TemperatureTransform extends Transform {
deserialize(serialized, options) {
return (serialized * 1.8) + 32;
}
serialize(deserialized, options) {
return (deserialized - 32) / 1.8;
}
}
Usage
app/models/requirement.js
import Model, { attr } from '@ember-data/model';
export default class RequirementModel extends Model {
@attr('string') name;
@attr('temperature') temperature;
}
The options passed into the attr
function when the attribute is
declared on the model is also available in the transform.
app/models/post.js
import Model, { attr } from '@ember-data/model';
export default class PostModel extends Model {
@attr('string') title;
@attr('markdown', {
markdown: {
gfm: false,
sanitize: true
}
})
markdown;
}
app/transforms/markdown.js
import Transform from '@ember-data/serializer/transform';
export default class MarkdownTransform extends Transform {
serialize(deserialized, options) {
return deserialized.raw;
}
deserialize(serialized, options) {
let markdownOptions = options.markdown || {};
return marked(serialized, markdownOptions);
}
}
