2.0.0

The developer experience release!

With this release, we improved the integration of Bumblebee into your application by allowing you to pass the Transformer by name, while also improving performance by changing the defaultInclude & availableInclude methods to static getters. For a complete list of all changes, see the changelog below.

An absolutely huge thank goes to @RomainLanz, who suggested and implemented many of the features we have in this release. Great work man! 👏

Breaking Changes

• The toArray() was renamed to toJSON() to be consistent with the rest of the framework. If you use the toArray() method, you should rename this it to toJSON(). The signature and returned value remain the same. [#29]

• Changed defaultInclude & availableInclude methods to static getter for better performance. [#29]

  // before
  class BookTransformer extends TransformerAbstract {
    defaultInclude () {
      return ['author']
    }
  }
  
  // after
  class BookTransformer extends TransformerAbstract {
    static get defaultInclude () {
      return ['author']
    }
  }
