Polymorphic Nested Collections?

[tmerrill]

I have an object containing a list of an abstract type with several implementations.
Is there any way to make a Facet dto with this configuration, or any plans to support this in the future?
For what it’s worth, I have json serialization and deserialization working using a discriminator type column like this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/serialization/system-text-json/polymorphism

Hello @tmerrill

What you can currently do, is apply conrete inheritance, or create individual facets for each concrete implementation. Or you can also mess around with custom mapping.

We can look into support for polymorphic nested collections, though this will be a significant change to the source generator.
Thinking of:

• Runtime type detection and dispatch
• discriminator column support
• polymorphic collection handling for type specific dto instantiations
• ...

Feel free, to open an issue requesting this, and see if we can try and nail this down soon
