LanguageExt.Bson
This library provides BSON-serializers for MongoDB.Bson for most LanguageExt containers.
Nuget
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| LanguageExt.Bson | Provides the serializers |
| LanguageExt.Bson.DependencyInjection | Provides IServiceCollection extensions |
Setup
Call LanguageExtBsonSerializer.Setup at least once. Once you have done so, all supported types will be (de)serializable
to and from BSON. Alternatively, include LanguageExt.Bson.DependencyInjection and call the AddLanguageExtBsonSerializers
extension method on your IServiceCollection. This is functionally the same thing, as all MongoDB.Bson setup is held
in a global variable anyway.
Supported Types
| Type | Serialized as |
|---|---|
Option<A> |
Some<A> as A, None as BsonNull
|
Lst<A> |
BsonArray |
Seq<A> |
BsonArray |
Set<A> |
BsonArray |
Map<string,A> |
BsonDocument with the keys as element names |
Map<A,B> |
Analogous to DictionaryRepresentation.ArrayOfDocuments, that is, a BsonArray consisting of {"k": a, "v": b} documents |
Future Work
- Allow Map<string,A> to be serialized as an
ArrayOfDocuments, too, if desired. - Implement a serializer for
Either
