# Changelog All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). ## [8.0.1] - 2025-03-22 ### Changed - Remove outdated dependencies. ## [8.0.0] - 2025-01-11 ### Added - Support for lazy parent type and interface inheritance. - Performance on large object graphs is up to 3 times faster. ### Changed - The metadata is now read-only and configuration must be done using the provided API. - Declaring and retrieving user custom options has been simplified. - Property `customOptions` was replaced with `customValueMap`. - Property `parentTypeFns` was replaced with `parentTypeArguments`. - Custom context is now part of the metadata. ### Migrating from previous version - Rename `customOptions` to `customValueMap` and wrap your configuration array into map. - Rename `parentTypeFns` to `parentTypeArguments` if you have this option declared on your type. ## [7.2.1] - 2024-02-18 ### Fixed - TypeScript 5 decorators do not work. - Circular loop when using multiple inheritance through the decorator type options. ## [7.2.0] - 2023-10-18 ### Added - Support for polymorphic serialization based on interface types. ## [7.1.1] - 2023-08-19 ### Fixed - Extraction of type extension metadata when it was not defined. - Extraction of property extension metadata when it was not defined. ## [7.1.0] - 2023-08-18 ### Added - Type extension metadata. - Property extension metadata. ## [7.0.1] - 2023-08-10 ### Fixed - Invalid ES5 lazy type resolvers. ## [7.0.0] - 2023-06-25 ### Added - Strongly typed custom options. - Performance improvements when using custom options. ### Removed - Old custom data option. ### Migrating from previous version - Replace old custom data configurations with newly introduced strongly typed custom options. ## [6.0.0] - 2023-03-22 ### Added - Fluent api for declarative configuration. - Property metadata sorters. - Inject metadata sorters. - Stable json stringify and parse functions. - Any and unknown type serializers. - Modules support. - Performance improvements. ### Changed - If property type argument is not configured then no error will be thrown and property will be serialized as unknown. - Weak reference maps changed to regular maps to allow more extension points. - Reference handler names to be more self descriptive. ### Migrating from previous version - Replace old declarative configuration calls with newly introduced fluent api. - You can still use raw declarative api through the options by adapting method calls. ## [5.0.0] - 2022-07-31 ### Added - Preserve null option. - Performance improvements. ### Changed - Simplify handling of object references inside serializers. - Separate modules are now merged into one to reduce final application bundle size and simplify usage. ### Removed - Helper decorators as they silently increase final application bundle size and reduce performance on startup for the end user. ### Migrating from previous version - Replace all separate module imports to `@dipscope/type-manager`. - Remove all helper decorators and use configure options with the same names from the main `Type`, `Property` and `Inject` decorators. ## [4.1.1] - 2022-05-30 ### Changed - Moved source maps into separate file and reduced production bundle size. ## [4.1.0] - 2022-05-18 ### Added - Getters for serialized and deserialized default value in metadata. - Decorators and options to define serialized and deserialized default value explicitly. ## [4.0.4] - 2022-05-15 ### Changed - Set webpack global output object to `this`. ## [4.0.3] - 2022-05-07 ### Added - Getters of serialized and deserialized property names for property metadata. ### Removed - Definition logic of serialized and deserialized property names from type serializer. ### Fixed - Serialized property name was displayed in log messages. ## [4.0.2] - 2022-05-01 ### Changed - Used symbol instead of string based key to store type metadata. - Avoid complete reset of custom data by providing `null` as argument. - Code style improvements. ## [4.0.1] - 2021-08-01 ### Changed - Custom data options are now behave like built in configure options. - Path reference handler is now using path traversal instead of direct evaluation for resolving references. ## [4.0.0] - 2021-03-24 ### Added - Polymorphic types support. - Enums support. - Accessors support. - Multiple runtime configurations support. ### Changed - Newly introduced `TypeFn` is now used instead of `TypeCtor` in configure methods due to adding polymorphic types support. - Static methods of `TypeManager` now return static instance to enable method chaining. ### Migrating from previous version - Replace `TypeCtor` with `TypeFn` if you are using declarative configuration. ## [3.0.0] - 2021-03-06 ### Added - Generics support. - Circular object reference support. - Short property declaration syntax. - Naming convention support. - Module separation. - New set of serializers. ### Changed - Core types, interfaces and classes moved to a core module to keep main namespace clean. - All decorators are now available from the main namespace. ### Fixed - Invalid implicit conversion of boolean serializer. - Properties were not assigned during deserialization if they already have initialized value. ### Removed - Multiple decorator and related options as they are no longer required. ### Migrating from previous version - Replace all core type and interface imports from `@dipscope/type-manager` to `@dipscope/type-manager/core`. - Replace all helper decorator imports from `@dipscope/type-manager/helpers` to `@dipscope/type-manager`. - Change all places where `Property` decorator is used to declare an array of types to a proper generic variant. - If you are using `TypeSerializer`, `TypeFactory`, `TypeInjector` helper decorators or interfaces then rename them to `Serializer`, `Factory`, `Injector` accordingly. - If you are using `typeAlias` or `typeResolver` property options replace them to `typeArgument`. ## [2.0.4] - 2021-02-13 ### Changed - Improved type serializer context to avoid instance of call in serializers. ## [2.0.3] - 2021-02-13 ### Fixed - Broken helpers module. ## [2.0.2] - 2021-02-11 ### Fixed - Broken module resolvers. ## [2.0.1] - 2021-02-11 ### Fixed - Broken imports from newly introduced namespaces. ## [2.0.0] - 2021-02-10 ### Added - Dependency injection support. - Immutable types support. - Type hint support. - Custom data support. ### Changed - Type serializer now an inteface. - Some helper decorators renamed to match option names. - Helper decorators moved to their own namespace. ### Migrating from previous version - Replace extension with implementation for custom type serializers. - If your custom serializers uses implicit conversion make it part of the serialize and deserialize methods. You can check if it should be used based on newly introduced serializer context. - If you are using `Serializer` helper decorator then rename it to `TypeSerializer`. - For all helper decorators change imports to `@dipscope/type-manager/helpers`. Now they are located in their own namespace. ## [1.3.0] - 2021-01-20 ### Added - Type manager methods to configure each option individually. ### Fixed - Type options were not applied after changes at runtime. ## [1.2.2] - 2020-12-25 ### Fixed - Type error when trying to serialize and deserialize object with null values. - Explicit deserialization of properties. ## [1.2.1] - 2020-12-24 ### Fixed - Broken exports for browser based applications. ## [1.2.0] - 2020-12-23 ### Added - Multiple property option to indicate that certain property is an array when using without reflect metadata. ### Fixed - Type extraction using reflect metadata. ## [1.1.0] - 2020-12-22 ### Added - Global type options. - Default value definition for types and properties. - Implicit conversion for types and properties. - Type manager stringify and parse methods for working with JSON. ## [1.0.0] - 2020-12-16 ### Added - Type manager for serializing and deserializing objects. - Decorator annotations for type and property metadata. - Declarative configuration for type and property metadata. - Custom serializer support. - Reflect metadata support.
