zijian/Fonlow.DateOnlyExtensionsv1.4.0

!For ASP.NET Core 6 only!

Customized serialization for DateOnly in ASP.NET Core 6 and above, introduced in .NET 6, for the following clients:

1. .NET 6 clients
2. .NET Framework clients
3. JavaScript clients

This component depends on NewtonSoft.Json and derives from Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConverter, and can be injected to ASP.NET Core pipeline through only IServiceCollection.AddNewtonsoftJson().

Usages:

.AddNewtonsoftJson(
	options =>
	{
		options.SerializerSettings.DateParseHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.DateParseHandling.DateTimeOffset; //Better with this for cross-timezone minValue and .NET Framework clients.
		options.SerializerSettings.NullValueHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.NullValueHandling.Ignore; //So when controller will ignore null fileds when returing data

		options.SerializerSettings.Converters.Add(new DateOnlyJsonConverter()); //not needed for ASP.NET 7 and .NET 7 clients. However .NET 6 clients and .NET Framework clients still need DateOnlyJsonConverter
		options.SerializerSettings.Converters.Add(new DateOnlyNullableJsonConverter()); // also, needed by JavaScript clients.
	}
);

Remarks:

• .NET 7 clients and above do not need this in ASP.NET Core 7 and above.

Hints:

• DateOnly in .NET 6 and ASP.NET Core 6
• DateOnly in ASP.NET 7 with JavaScript Clients
