Refiner functionality for serializable classes.

[tugrul]

There is no meaning of PHP convention to Node.JS side in some cases.

For example user roles of array by symfony.

class Role {}

data = Serialize.unserialize(data, {
            'Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\Role\\Role': Role
        });

[ Role {
    '\u0000Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\Role\\Role\u0000role': 'ROLE_USER' } ]

I wanted to get flat array like following.

["ROLE_USER"]

I don't know how could be implemented in this use case scenarios.

But I have some suggestions.

Option 1

Refiner base class from library.

const Serialize = require('php-serialize')

class Role extends Serialize.Refiner {
    refine(fields, className) {
        return fields.role.value;
    }
}

fields property can have this structure

{
    "role": {
        "value": "ROLE_USER",
        "type": "private" // or enum value like public: 1, protected: 2, private: 3
    }
}

className property can have the class name like 'Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\Role\\Role'

className property required to use same refiner on different classes.

Option 2

Anonymous functions

const refiner = (fields, className) => {
    return fields.role.value;
};

data = Serialize.unserialize(data, {
            'Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\Role\\Role': refiner
        });
