Custom data transformer
Has anyone had any experience with custom data transformers? I'm trying to map
LocalDate, LocalTime, Instant, etc. from a date & time library. Every type can be serialized to a string (the corresponding ISO format) but it's unclear to me what the best strategy is via a data transformer?
Should I serialize these objects to a custom shape (e.g. { type: "LocalDate", value: "..." }) so that it's trivial to deserialize? Seems kinda redundant since the type information is already at the type level. Without a custom shape it's unclear to me how I would be able to deserialize the object given that I don't know the destination type.1 Reply

It worked just fine as described above. 👍
