Class Transform

public
Defined in: ../packages/serializer/src/-private/transforms/transform.js:5
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.

// Converts centigrade in the JSON to fahrenheit in the app
export default class TemperatureTransform {
  deserialize(serialized, options) {
    return (serialized *  1.8) + 32;
  }

  serialize(deserialized, options) {
    return (deserialized - 32) / 1.8;
  }

  static create() {
    return new this();
  }
}

serialized
The serialized value
options
hash of options passed to `attr`
