plainToClassFromExist is Deprecated what is the replacement for generics? #1653

Closed charlesritchea closed 2 months ago

charlesritchea commented 7 months ago

I was trying to... deserialize a generic collection

The problem: plainToClassFromExist works, but is marked deprecated; however, I don't see any replacement

The deprecation comment is saying that

This function is being removed. The current implementation is incorrect as it modifies the source object.

According to the code there is no one-to-one replacement, which can be a problem if you need to populate an instance. You can use plainToInstance, but that will create a new instance.
