hololinked.injection.Serializers
Bases: Registry
A singleton class that holds all serializers and provides a registry for content types.
All members are class attributes and settings are applied process-wide (python process).
Registration of serializer is not mandatory for any property, action or event.
The default serializer is JSONSerializer, which will be provided to any unregistered object.

Functions
for_object
classmethod
Retrieve a serializer for a given property, action or event.

|
the id of the Thing or the Thing that owns the property, action or event |
required |
|
str
|
the class name of the Thing or the Thing that owns the property, action or event |
required |
|
str
|
the name of the property, action or event |
required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
BaseSerializer | JSONSerializer
|
the serializer for the property, action or event. If no serializer is found, the default JSONSerializer is returned. |

register
classmethod
Register a new serializer to be generally available for the running application.
It is recommended to implement a content type property/attribute for the serializer to facilitate automatic deserialization on client side, otherwise deserialization is not gauranteed. Moreover, the said serializer must be defined on both client and server side if running in a distributed environment.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
|
BaseSerializer
|
the serializer to register |
required |
|
str | None
|
the name of the serializer to be accessible under the object namespace. If not provided, the name of the serializer class is used. |
None
|
|
bool
|
whether to override the serializer if the content type is already registered,
by default False & raises ValueError for duplicate content type. For example, registering
a custom JSON serializer will conflict with the default JSONSerializer, so set |
False
|
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
ValueError
|
if the serializer content type is already registered |
