Add quotes for strings on model serialization

[sunnamed434]

I want to add quotes for strings when serializing a model (class), but adding attributes on properties is not my case - because I want it automated.

I checked issues on this GitHub repo and stackoverflow to find answers to my question, but without success, I saw solutions but they either did not work or just added the quotes for everything.

I think about smth like this, I guess there should be a way to do that via event emitter or in another way.

var yamlSerializer = new SerializerBuilder()
                        .WithQuotesForStrings()
                        .Build();

Before:

- Id: Item1
  Value: Hello world 1!
- Id: Item2
  Value: Hello world 2!
- Id: Item3
  Value: 10
- Id: Item4
  Value: true

After:

- Id: "Item1"
  Value: "Hello world 1!"
- Id: "Item2"
  Value: "Hello world 2!"
- Id: "Item3"
  Value: 10
- Id: "Item4"
  Value: true

I’m pretty sure there’s a withdefaultquountingstyle method on the serializerbuilder that was added recently.

It’s DefaultScalarStyle

Thanks, solved!

var yamlSerializer = new SerializerBuilder()
                        .WithNamingConvention(CamelCaseNamingConvention.Instance)
                        .WithDefaultScalarStyle(ScalarStyle.DoubleQuoted) // add this line
                        .Build();
