Deserialize

import { Formatter } from "sarala-json-api-data-formatter";

const formatter = new Formatter();

let data = this.deserialize(data);

Serialize

import { Formatter } from "sarala-json-api-data-formatter";

const formatter = new Formatter();

let data = this.serialize(data);

Filter relationships

Deserialize only root objects and skip all relationships

let data = this.includeOnly([]).deserialize(data);

Deserialize only specific relationships

When post has tags and comments, following will deserialize only root object and comments. Tags will be skipped.

let data = this.includeOnly(['comments']).deserialize(data);

Filter fields

Deserialize only specified fields

let data = this.filterFields({
    posts: ['title', 'subtitle'],
    tags: ['name']
}).deserialize(data);

The serialize method can be used similarly with includeOnly and filterFields.
