Serializing an ES6 class object as JSON
ecmascript-6, es6-class, javascript, json
Solution
As with any other object you want to stringify in JS, you can use `JSON.stringify`:
JSON.stringify(yourObject);
class MyClass {
constructor() {
this.foo = 3
}
}
var myClass = new MyClass()
console.log(JSON.stringify(myClass));
Also worth noting is that you can customize how `stringify` serializes your object by giving it a `toJSON` method. The value used to represent your object in the resulting JSON string will be the result of calling the `toJSON` method on that object.
Problem
``` class MyClass { constructor() { this.foo = 3 } } var myClass = new MyClass() ``` I'd like to serialize `myClass` object to json. One easy way I can think of is, since every member is actually javascript object (array, etc..) I guess I can maintain a variable to hold the member variables. `this.prop.foo = this.foo` and so on. I expected to find a `toJSON/fromJSON` library for class objects since I used them with other languages such as swift/java, but couldn't find one for javascript. Maybe class construct is too new, or what I'm asking can be somehow easily achieved without a library.
