How to serialize to an object without the Symbol(TypeBox.Kind)?

[theogravity]

If I create my typebox schema and do something like

return {
   ..mySchema
}

The result returns with the object, but it has items like:

  "type": "object",
  Symbol(TypeBox.Kind): "Object",

@theogravity Hi,

How to serialize to an object without the Symbol(TypeBox.Kind)?

You can use JSON.stringify to serialize. Symbol properties are non-serializable as JSON so they will not appear in the result.

const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.String() })

const S = JSON.stringify(T, null, 2) 

console.log(S)  // {
                //   "type": "object",
                //   "properties": {  
                //     "x": {
                //       "type": "string"
                //     }
                //   },
                //   "required": [
                //     "x"
                //   ]
                // }

Hope this helps

I meant as an object, not a JSON.serialized one. I guess I could do that then do a parse against it

You can just use structuredClone() as it omits symbols also.

const T = Type.Object({
  x: Type.Number(),
  y: Type.Number(),
  z: Type.Number(),
})

console.log(structuredClone(T))
