DateTime object from doctrine goes to relationships on included member

[franbenz]

When a DateTime object belongs to a top level entity it shows up as this

data: [
{
  type: "entidad1",
  id: "1",
  attributes: {
    fecha: {
      date: "2016-06-09 00:00:00",
      timezone_type: 3,
      timezone: "America/Asuncion"
    },...

But when the DateTime object is an attribute from an included entity it goes to the relationships member as this:

...
included: [
  {
    type: "entidad1",
    id: "1",
    attributes: {
      descripcion: "prueba"
    },
    relationships: {
      fecha: {
        data: [ ]
      },
    ...

Is this normal behaviour? Should I enable something for DateTime serializers to work?

@franbenz should not be empty at all. I'll try to reproduce the error.

Maybe you can provide a test with this bug as a PR to speed things a bit.

Thanks for the fix. After this commit the DateTime attribute does not appear in the relationships but neither it appears in the attributes member. Why should some attributes appear and others should not?

@franbenz thanks for pointing this out. Looking into it

@franbenz this made me build an additional piece of code in the api-transformer library that will solve this problem and many others :+1:

This: https://github.com/nilportugues/php-json-api/blob/582c05ad34195f24ca6939b66ca15737d7c56519/src/JsonApiTransformer.php#L64

Thanks, it's working. The DateTime is where it belongs now.
