JSONAPISerializer for Server Side Swift

JSONAPISerializer for Server Side Swift

Serialize Swift objects into JSONAPI compliant structures.

Basic usage

import JSON
import JSONAPISerializer

struct User: JSONRepresentable {
    var id: Node?
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    func makeJSON() throws -> JSON {
        var json = JSON([:])
        try json.set("id", id)
        try json.set("first-name", firstName)
        try json.set("last-name", lastName)
        return json
    }
}

let config = JSONAPIConfig(type: "users")
let serializer = JSONAPISerializer(config: config)

let users: [User]...
try serializer.serialize(users)

Produces

{
  "data": [{
    "type": "users",
    "id": "1",
    "attributes": {
      "first-name": "foo",
      "last-name": "bar"
    }
  }, {
    "type": "users",
    "id": "2",
    "attributes": {
      "first-name": "John",
      "last-name": "Doe"
    }
  }],
  "jsonapi": {
    "version": "1.0"
  },
  "links": {
    "self": "/users"
  },
  "meta": {}
}

Relationships

let petsConfig = JSONAPIConfig(type: "pets")
let profileConfig = JSONAPIConfig(type: "profiles", relationships: ["pets": petsConfig])
let userConfig = JSONAPIConfig(type: "users", relationships: ["profile": profileConfig])
let serializer = JSONAPISerializer(config: userConfig)

let users: [User]...
try serializer.serialize(users)

Produces

  "data": [
    {
      "id": 2,
      "type": "users",
      "attributes": {
        "first-name": "foo",

            {
              "id": 5,
              "type": "pets"
            },
            {
              "id": 8,
              "type": "pets"
