Deserializer

Using a custom deserializer with NextDrupal.

The NextDrupal uses jsona as the default deserializer for serializing and deserializing JSON:API data.

You can provide your own using the deserializer option.

Example

Here's how you can replace the default deserializer with jsonapi-serializer.

lib/drupal.ts

import { NextDrupal } from "next-drupal"
import { Deserializer } from "jsonapi-serializer"


// Create a custom deserializer.
const jsonDeserializer = new Deserializer({
  keyForAttribute: "camelCase",
})


const customDeserializer = jsonDeserializer.deserialize.bind(jsonDeserializer)


// Pass the custom deserializer to the client.
export const drupal = new NextDrupal(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL, {
  deserializer: customDeserializer,
})

Pages Router

This option is called serializer in the NextDrupalPages client. Aside from that, the usage is the same.

lib/drupal.ts

import { NextDrupal } from "next-drupal"
import { Deserializer } from "jsonapi-serializer"


// Create a custom deserializer.
const jsonDeserializer = new Deserializer({
  keyForAttribute: "camelCase",
})


const customDeserializer = jsonDeserializer.deserialize.bind(jsonDeserializer)


// Pass the custom deserializer to the client.
export const drupal = new NextDrupalPages(
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL,
  {
    serializer: customDeserializer,
  }
)
