By default all undecorated properties (which don't have a decorator @JsonProperty()) pass through the serialization/deserialization. Decorator @SerializeOnlyDecorated can corrects this case and switch on the ignoring such properties.

 
import { SerializeUndecorated, JsonProperty, JsTsMapper } from "js-ts-mapper";
 
@SerializeOnlyDecorated()
export class Employeer {
    constructor(o) {
        Object.assign(this, o);
    }
 
    @JsonProperty('Id')
    id: number;
 
    @JsonProperty('FirstName')
    firstName: string;
 
    @JsonProperty('LastName')
    lastName: string;
 
    @JsonProperty('MiddleName')
    middleName: string;
 
    selected: boolean = true;
}
 
let test_entity = new Employeer({
    id: 256,
    firstName: 'Test',
    lastName: 'Test',
    middleName: 'Test',
    selected: true
});
 
let out = mapper.serialize(test_entity);    
/*
    returns
    {
        Id: 256,
        FirstName: 'Test',
        LastName: 'Test',
        MiddleName: 'Test'
    }
*/
 

Converters

Converters included in build

Date converters

• DateConverter
• DateTimeOffsetConverter
• DateTimeOffsetConverterWithTimeZone
• DateTimeOffsetConverterWithoutTimeZone

To use date converters you must imported the "moment" library.

npm install moment --save

Example of using

import { JsonProperty } from 'js-ts-mapper';
import { DateConverter } from 'js-ts-mapper/converters';
import * as moment from 'moment';
 
export class Example {    
    @JsonProperty('dateBirth', DateConverter)
    dateBirth: Date;
}
