# Astro deserialize

Utilities for serializing data from server for use in the client.

1. `Serialize` Astro component takes `id` and `data`
1. `deserialize(id: string): Object` function for use int he client takes an `id` string and returns the `data` as Object

## Installation & Examples

### Install via npm

On your [Astro](https://astro.build) project:

```
npm i @ayco/astro-resume
```

### Usage

Serializing and deserializing basic primitive data

```astro
---
import Serialize from "@ayco/astro-resume";

const data = {
	hello: 'world',
}
---

<Serialize id="my-data" data={data} />

<script>
	import {deserialize} from '@ayco/astro-resume';
	const data = deserialize('my-data');
	console.log(data) // {hello: 'world'}
</script>

```

### Type Safety

You can define a type for the data and use it in the client script.

```astro
---
import Serialize from "@ayco/astro-resume";

const data = {
	hello: 'world',
	isOkay: true
}
// define the type of data to be serialized
export type Data = typeof data;
---

<Serialize id="my-data" data={data} />

<script>
	import {deserialize} from '@ayco/astro-resume';

	/**
	* reuse the type in the client
	* assuming this component's name is `ThisComponent.astro`
	*/
	import type {Data} from './ThisComponent.astro';

	const data = deserialize<Data>('my-data');

	console.log(data) // {hello: 'world', isOkay: true}
</script>
```

### Passing all Astro.props to client

If you need to make all the component props to the client script:

```astro
---
import Serialize from "@ayco/astro-resume";
export interface Props {
	hello: string;
	isOkay: boolean;
}
---

<Serialize id="preferences" data={{...Astro.props}} />

<script>
	import {deserialize} from '@ayco/astro-resume';
	import type {Props} from './ThisComponent.astro';
	const {hello, isOkay} = deserialize<Props>('preferences');
	console.log(hello, isOkay);
</script>
```
