support for enumset
xphoenix opened this issue · comments
Thanks for the lib, saved me a lot of time.
As usual I did 80% of work very fast and them stack a bit with enum sets. I have a few, looks like so:
enum class MySet : uint8_t { F1 = 1, F2 = 2, F4=4 };
inline MySet operator|(MySet lhs, MySet rhs) { return MySet(uint8_t(lhs) | uint8_t(rhs)); }
....
It would be nice to serialize it as an array of set bit names:
["F1", "F4"]
So I was looking in EnumHandler and ArrayHandler to figure out how to merge them in order to archive that kind of serialization, but I've failed at the end - templates are not at my fingertips.
Do you have any kind of documentation about serializer internals? Or an advice on how that kind of trick could be done :)
It is a bit complicated to write a custom handler for arrays. A hook to allow conversion may be better for your use case. I need to think about how to design the API.
I just added a new functionality: custom conversion. You can declare vector<string as the shadow type, and write the to and from functions yourself. If you have any more questions, feel free to reopen the issue.
