I'm using the Realm database in Kotlin on Android along with some data that we're receiving over the wire using JSON, using kotlinx.serialization
as the JSON library.
I'd like to write a custom serializer for RealmList<String>
.
An example class would look like:
@Serializable
open class Session(): RealmObject() {
@PrimaryKey
@SerialName("session_id")
var sessionId: String = ""
@SerialName("user_ids")
var userIds: RealmList<String>
//...
}
The JSON for the RealmList<String>
is the same as a List<String>
:
{
"session_id": "session_23848923498",
"user_ids": [
"user_o823uo234u",
"user_23i2332984",
"user_23480192849"
]
}
The docs for writing a custom serializer at https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/docs/serializers.md are pretty good, and i've been able to write various custom serializers for some of our classes. But in this case it's more like I'm looking to write a Serializer for a List
collection, not a specific custom class.
Any ideas?
