This repo provides an NPM package with deserializers to help you convert the response into JS objects.

import { deserializePages } from "@alchemy_cms/json_api"

const response = await fetch("/jsonapi/pages.json")
const data = await response.json()
const pages = deserializePages(data)

console.log(pages[0].name) // => Homepage

Key transforms

If you ever want to change how Alchemy serializes attributes you can set

Alchemy::JsonApi.key_transform = :camel_lower

It defaults to :underscore.
