GrapeJelly

I was jelly of ruby-grape's grape-entity gem so here we have a JavaScript serializer framework inspired by grape-entity. It is not intended to be a complete implementation of grape-entity.

Install

npm install @lbennett/grape-jelly
# OR
yarn add @lbennett/grape-jelly

Usage

Define entities by extending the Entity class. You must implement a define method that defines the entity using Entity.prototype.expose.

import { Entity } from '@lbennett/grape-jelly';

class UserEntity extends Entity {
  define() {
    this.expose('username', { as: 'not_username' });
    this.expose('password', user => user.notPassword);
  }
}

You can use Entity.prototype.represent to serialize your object.

import UserEntity from './UserEntity';

const data = {
    username: 'foo',
    password: 'bar',
    notPassword: 'raboof',
    otherValue: 'not included',
};

const entity = new UserEntity();
const serializedData = entity.represent(data);

console.log(serializedData);

// { not_username: 'foo', password: 'raboof' }
