I have a Kotlin data class that is serialised to JSON in a Spring Boot project. I'd like to customise how date is formatted when serialising to JSON. The name of the field should be serialised using default rules. That expresses what I'd like to do:
class ZonedDateTimeSerialiser : JsonSerializer<ZonedDateTime>() {
@Throws(IOException::class)
fun serialize(value: ZonedDateTime, gen: JsonGenerator, serializers: SerializerProvider?) {
val parseDate: String? = value.withZoneSameInstant(ZoneId.of("Europe/Warsaw"))
.withZoneSameLocal(ZoneOffset.UTC)
.format(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE_TIME)
gen.writeString(parseDate)
}
}
data class OrderNotesRequest(
@JsonSerialize(using = ZonedDateTimeSerialiser::class)
val date: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
)
But I get a type error:
Type mismatch.
Required:
KClass<out (JsonSerializer<Any!>..JsonSerializer<*>?)>
Found:
KClass<ZonedDateTimeSerialiser>
I did try switching the parameter to annotation to contentUsing but the type error remained the same.
Following is working for me
object JacksonRun {
@JvmStatic
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val objMapper = ObjectMapper().apply {
registerModule(KotlinModule())
}
val order = OrderNotesRequest()
println(objMapper.writeValueAsString(order))
}
}
data class OrderNotesRequest(
@JsonSerialize(using = ZonedDateTimeSerialiser::class)
val date: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
)
class ZonedDateTimeSerialiser : JsonSerializer<ZonedDateTime>() {
@Throws(IOException::class)
override fun serialize(value: ZonedDateTime, gen: JsonGenerator, serializers: SerializerProvider?) {
val parseDate: String = value.withZoneSameInstant(ZoneId.of("Europe/Warsaw"))
.withZoneSameLocal(ZoneOffset.UTC)
.format(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE_TIME)
gen.writeString(parseDate)
}
}
build.gradle.kts:
dependencies {
implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.13.2")
implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.13.2")
implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.13.2")
implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-kotlin:2.13.0")
}
Gives me output:
{"date":"2022-03-21T10:29:19.381498Z"}
Do make sure you have the correct import for JsonSerializer
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonSerializer
and add override marker to serialize method
