MS-Rest

Infrastructure for serialization/deserialization, error handling, tracing, and http client pipeline configuration. Required by nodeJS client libraries generated using AutoRest.

- Node.js version: 4.x.x or higher

How to Install

``bash
npm install ms-rest
`

Usage


`javascript
var msrest = require('ms-rest');
`

Serialization/Deserialization

Features
- Type checking
- (String, Number, Boolean, ByteArray, Base64Url, Date, DateTime, Enum, TimeSpan, DateTimeRfc1123, UnixTime, Object, Stream, Sequence, Dictionary, Composite, Uuid(as a string))
- Validation of specified constraints
- ExclusiveMaximum, ExclusiveMinimum, InclusiveMaximum, InclusiveMinimum, MaxItems, MaxLength, MinItems, MinLength, MultipleOf, Pattern, UniqueItems
- Flattening/Unflattening properties
- Default Values
- Model Properties marked as constant are set during serialization, irrespective of they being provided or not
- Required check (If a model or property is marked required and is not provided in the object then an error is thrown)
- Readonly check (If a model or property is marked readonly then it is not sent on the wire during, serialization)
- Serializing Constant values

- serialize an array of dictionary of primitive values
`javascript
var mapper = {
type : {
name: 'Sequence',
element: {
type : {
name: 'Dictionary',
value: {
type: {
name: 'Boolean'
}
}
}
}
}
};
var array = [{ 1: true }, { 2: false }, { 1: true, 2: false, 3: true }];
var serializedArray = msRest.serialize(mapper, array, 'arrayObj');
assert.deepEqual(array, serializedArray);
var serializedProduct = msrest.serialize(mapper, productObj, 'productObject');
var deserializedArray = msRest.deserialize(mapper, serializedArray, 'serializedArrayObj');
