Source
YamlStringEnumConverter.cs

Produces a converter that serializes any enumeration as a YAML string holding its member name, applying an optional naming policy and honoring StringEnumMemberNameAttribute on individual members.

public sealed class YamlStringEnumConverter : YamlConverterFactory

Extension Methods

Examples

var options = new YamlSerializerOptions();
options.Converters.Add(new YamlStringEnumConverter(NamingPolicy.SnakeCaseLower, allowIntegerValues: false));

// Status.OnHold now serializes as the YAML scalar on_hold.

Remarks

Register the factory on Converters to apply it to every enumeration, or use the generic YamlStringEnumConverter<TEnum> with ConverterAttribute to apply it to a single enumeration. Two constructors are provided: a parameterless form that applies no naming policy and accepts integers on read, and a form that takes an explicit naming policy and integer-handling flag. The produced converter writes the member name regardless of WriteEnumsAsStrings.

Constructors

YamlStringEnumConverter()

Initializes a new instance of the YamlStringEnumConverter class that applies no naming policy and accepts integers on read.

public YamlStringEnumConverter()

YamlStringEnumConverter(NamingPolicy?, bool)

Initializes a new instance of the YamlStringEnumConverter class with the specified naming policy and integer-handling behavior.

public YamlStringEnumConverter(NamingPolicy? namingPolicy, bool allowIntegerValues)

Parameters

namingPolicy NamingPolicy

The naming policy applied to member names, or null to use member names unchanged.

allowIntegerValues bool

Whether a YAML integer scalar is accepted as an enumeration value on read.

Methods

CanConvert(Type)

Determines whether the converter can convert the specified type.

public override bool CanConvert(Type typeToConvert)

Parameters

typeToConvert Type

The type to test.

Returns

bool

true when the converter handles the type; otherwise false.

CreateConverter(Type, YamlSerializerOptions)

Creates a converter for the specified type.

public override YamlConverter CreateConverter(Type typeToConvert, YamlSerializerOptions options)

Parameters

typeToConvert Type

The closed type to create a converter for.

options YamlSerializerOptions

The serializer options in effect.

Returns

YamlConverter

A converter that handles typeToConvert.
