Serialization
Using class-transformer
is a popular libarary used in nestjs
, unfortunately class-transformer
does not play nicely with tyepgoose
documents.
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 inject your Model and create a new instance.
new TodoItemModel(todoItemDTO);
When converting your entity into a DTO, you can use the following.
const dto = plainToClass(TodoItemDTO, todoItemEntity.toObject({ virtuals: true }));
