Example of a custom schema? about json-api-serializer HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @mcmillhj-wta,

There is an example for custom schema in the Usage section on the Readme (see https://github.com/danivek/json-api-serializer#register-1). It uses a custom schema only-body for the comment resource.

Even if you use the custom schema feature, you will not be able to do what you expected. You must either transform your input data or transform the serialized output before sending it.

Why not transform your input data to this before serialize ? (have a property items wich is an array):

{
  "id": "c82452b7-c3c3-5551-8bef-22a73f9793bb",
    ....
  items: ["cc19857c-01eb-5c57-b730-be1a05ec54e9"]
}

with this configuration:

Serializer.register('alerts', {
  relationships: {
    items: {
      type: 'articles'
    }
  }
});

Serializer.register('articles', {});

@danivek Thank you, this was super helpful and I now have it worked as desired.
