serialize method

ComponentSpec? serialize(Component component, SerializeContext context)

Serializes component to a ComponentSpec, or returns null if this codec does not handle that component instance.

The default implementation derives the spec from propertySchema: when claims accepts the component, each property's value is read through its ComponentPropertyDef.read. Codecs whose serialization is not a flat field read (a mesh recovering resource ids) override this.

Implementation

ComponentSpec? serialize(Component component, SerializeContext context) {
  if (!claims(component)) return null;
  return ComponentSpec(
    type,
    properties: {
      for (final def in propertySchema) def.name: def.read!(component),
    },
  );
}
