Serialization and Data Management in Model Code

Let’s learn how to write the serialization function and how to perform data management for the application.

We'll cover the following...

Write a serialization function

The object serialization function toString() now needs to include the values of enumeration attributes.

Javascript (babel-node)
class Book {
 ...
  toString() {
    return "Book{ ISBN:" + this.isbn + ", title:" + this.title +
      ", originalLanguage:" + this.originalLanguage +
      ", otherAvailableLanguages:" +
      this.otherAvailableLanguages.toString() +
      ", category:" + this.category +
      ", publicationForms:" +
      this.publicationForms.toString() + "}";
  }
 ...
}

Notice that for multi-valued enumeration attributes, we call the toString() function predefined for JS arrays.
