Hi, thanks for your issue. I see your point, the idea behind https://github.com/m1212e/prismabox/pull/11 was to do that more ore less :D Do you see a way to unify these? Would it make sense to implement your suggested behavior when useJsonTypes
is enabled instead of the current behavior?
Ah I see, I didn't realise the idea behind useJsonTypes
was for fastify support in the first place. The only reason I can think of why the creator of that PR didn't run into this issue is if they are not using typescript in their application?
Regardless, I think integrating with useJsonTypes
makes sense. The problem I'm having is properly parsing the options you can pass to DateTime. In both the current master version and my version, /// @prismabox.options{format: 'date'}
should set the JSON schema to use the "date" format, but there's no options merging occurring, so the output looks like:
Type.String({
format: "date-time",
format: "date",
additionalProperties: false,
})
Which is invalid. Any thoughts on how to approach this? I saw @brancobruyneel tried to do some JSON parsing, but you reverted that as the options syntax isn't JSON.
Hi, the https://github.com/m1212e/prismabox/pull/11 PR I opened couple of weeks ago wasn't actually finished & well tested in my personal project @m1212e. My apologies for not letting you know sooner.
Regarding the issue @Dan-Shields mentioned with TypeScript, I encountered the same problem. In my personal project, I resolved it by using Unsafe Types to satisfy the typescript compiler. However, I'm not sure if this approach is appropriate to be used in prismabox.
Type.Unsafe<Date>({ additionalProperties: false, type: "string", format: "date-time" }),
Thanks for your input @brancobruyneel. I've gone ahead and opened a new PR to move to using the Unsafe schemas as discussed. I don't see any reason this would cause issues with other packages that rely on useJsonTypes
as it is still using a string json schema under the hood.
I've tested it locally on my WIP project and it looks to be working great.
Once we've figured out the best way to support custom formats as described above it should be good to go.
I'll close this for now, feel free to open again if the issue persists, you have any questions or you continue to work on the PR!
By default prismabox uses the
Type.Date
schema for dates. This type is not serializable by Fastify when used in a response/request schema as described in this article.Using
useJsonTypes = true
gets closer to a solution, as now Dates are generated asType.String({ format: 'date-time' })
by prismabox. Fastify can serialize this. Now it becomes a TS problem, with the following error being raised by tsc when you try to return aDate
object in a response:@sinclairzx81 explains in https://github.com/fastify/fastify/discussions/3357#discussioncomment-4241449 how using
Type.Unsafe<Date>({ type: 'string', format: 'date' })
is the recommended workaround.Could this be added as a separate config option, something like
fastifyDateCompat = true
? Happy to work on a PR if acceptable.
