Make simplifying lists of simple elements optional about xsd2php HOT 9 CLOSED

I will look into that and create a seperate issue / PR for it.

I still feel like this option has it's use cases so I'll leave the branch for now.

It's not really the same thing, but it solves the same problem for me. I think this can be closed.

What about skipWhenEmpty in https://github.com/schmittjoh/serializer/blob/master/src/JMS/Serializer/Annotation/XmlCollection.php#L41 ?

from xsd2php.

I guess that's an option, but this would mean I have to edit all of the generated metadata. And it would still never use the available ElementListAType, even though that code was generated.

Do you know if it's possible to make not skipping empty lists the default in the serializer?

metadata are meant be be overwritten each time. are you editing them manually?

isn't the only the propose of this element to have tue list element present in the serialized XML? if you manage to do it via skipWhenEmpty = false, everything should work fine, is it?

not possible for now

I'm not editing the metadata, that's actually exactly what I'm trying to avoid.
How can I apply skipWhenEmpty to the property without editing the metadata?

And yes, currently the only purpose of the element is to have it present in the serialized XML. That, and it feels like it makes "sense" in some cases to use the element instead of a plain array.

from xsd2php.

Actually, I realise that since the ElementList has a implicit minOccurs of 1 it makes more sense to have the generator add the skip_when_empty: false to any list that should occur at least once.

Maybe it's better to focus on that.

from xsd2php.

yes!
