Copilot Autofix

AI 3 months ago

The best way to fix this problem is to remove the unused import from line 9 in the file tests/integration/nestjs/class-serializer.interceptor.test.ts. This improves readability, avoids confusion, and eliminates unnecessary code.
To implement the fix, delete the import statement for CLASS_SERIALIZER_OPTIONS (and only for that symbol) without altering any other code or imports.

P1 Badge Avoid transforming arrays of primitives into objects

The early-return guard only skips serialization for non-array plain objects, so any array—regardless of its contents—falls through to classToPlain. When the response is an array of primitive values (e.g. ['a', 'b']), classToPlain converts each element into an object ([{ '0': 'a' }, …]) because primitives are wrapped and enumerated, altering the response payload. Nest’s built-in ClassSerializerInterceptor leaves primitive arrays untouched. Consider checking Array.isArray(data) and ensuring all elements are non-object primitives before calling classToPlain, returning the array as-is when no transformation is necessary.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Added recommended way to use ClassSerializerInterceptor globally via
APP_INTERCEPTOR provider in AppModule. This is more idiomatic NestJS
approach compared to app.useGlobalInterceptors().

Changes:
- Updated docs/NESTJS_INTEGRATION.md with APP_INTERCEPTOR examples
- Updated README.md with both global usage options
- Added test for dependency injection pattern
- Documented benefits of using APP_INTERCEPTOR provider

Benefits of APP_INTERCEPTOR approach:
- Works with dependency injection
- Easier to test
- More idiomatic NestJS
- Works with all module features
