Serialization
Using class-transformer
is a popular libarary used in nestjs
, unfortunately class-transformer
does not place nicely with sequelize
models.
For most use cases nestjs-query
will take care of the serialization for you through assemblers. If you find yourself in a situation where you want to use class-transformer
with a model you should use the following patterns.
To convert your DTO into a model you can use the build
method on the model.
TodoItemEntity.build(todoItemDTO);
When converting your entity into a DTO you can use the following.
const dto = plainToClass(TodoItemDTO, todoItemEntity.get({ plain: true }));
