PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers.Json 1.0.0

PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers.Json

Introduction

This package provides System.Text.Json integration for the PhoneNumber value object from PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers.

It adds a JsonConverter<PhoneNumber> that serializes and deserializes phone numbers as JSON strings in E.164 format, and an extension method to easily register the converter on your JsonSerializerOptions.

Install

You can install the package from NuGet:

dotnet add package PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers.Json

Features

• System.Text.Json converter for the PhoneNumber value object
• Serializes PhoneNumber as a JSON string in E.164 format
• Deserializes from a JSON string to a PhoneNumber instance
• Gracefully handles null and empty/whitespace JSON string values as null
• Convenient extension method AddPhoneNumbersConverters on JsonSerializerOptions

Use cases

• Persist and exchange PhoneNumber values as JSON with APIs
• Use PhoneNumber in your DTOs without custom mapping code
• Share a consistent JSON representation (E.164) across microservices and clients

Examples

Register the converter globally

using System.Text.Json;
using PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers;
using PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers.Json;

// Configure JsonSerializerOptions
var options = new JsonSerializerOptions()
    .AddPhoneNumbersConverters();

Serialize a PhoneNumber

using System.Text.Json;
using PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers;

var options = new JsonSerializerOptions().AddPhoneNumbersConverters();

PhoneNumber phone = "+33123456789";

var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(phone, options);
// json == "\"+33123456789\""

Deserialize a PhoneNumber

using System.Text.Json;
using PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers;

var options = new JsonSerializerOptions().AddPhoneNumbersConverters();

var json = "\"+33123456789\"";

var phone = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<PhoneNumber>(json, options);
// phone represents "+33123456789"

Use PhoneNumber in DTOs

using System.Text.Json;
using PosInformatique.Foundations.PhoneNumbers;

public sealed class ContactDto
{
    public string Name { get; set; } = default!;
    public PhoneNumber? Mobile { get; set; }
}

var options = new JsonSerializerOptions().AddPhoneNumbersConverters();

var contact = new ContactDto
{
    Name = "John Doe",
    Mobile = PhoneNumber.Parse("+33123456789")
};

var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(contact, options);
// {
//   "Name": "John Doe",
//   "Mobile": "+33123456789"
// }

var deserialized = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<ContactDto>(json, options);

Handling null and empty values

• JSON null is deserialized as null PhoneNumber.
• Empty or whitespace JSON strings are also deserialized as null.

var options = new JsonSerializerOptions().AddPhoneNumbersConverters();

var jsonNull = "null";
var phoneNull = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<PhoneNumber?>(jsonNull, options); // null

var jsonEmpty = "\"\"";
var phoneEmpty = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<PhoneNumber?>(jsonEmpty, options); // null
