AS_UNIQUE and woStoreStoredFalse design problem

AS_UNIQUE can mark a field value to be unique in the table,
but the woStoreStoredFalse option can not be set with
_ObjFast(const NameValuePairs: array of const)  overload function,
therefor ,the filed marked as_unique won't be serialized ,it just missing.

i know i can use  _ObjFast(aObject: TObject;  aOptions: TTextWriterWriteObjectOptions = [woDontStoreDefault]) overload function,

but there are so mary scenarios  _ObjFast(const NameValuePairs: array of const) comes more handy.

throuth the code ,woStoreStoredFalse is to protect some sensitive information like password,
the AS_UNIQUE should mean "unique", not "sensitive"
may be we need another marker to do so.

Re: AS_UNIQUE and woStoreStoredFalse design problem

and with this AS_UNIQUE , when use the ctxt.Returns(const NameValuePairs: array of const;....) to return some Torm data, those filed are all missing

Re: AS_UNIQUE and woStoreStoredFalse design problem

AS_UNIQUE is just a trick for better readability of ORM-specific property definition.

In regular class definitions, just use "stored false" as with regular pascal code.

Re: AS_UNIQUE and woStoreStoredFalse design problem

I am suffering a similar/related issue (mORMot2).

To use ObjectTOJSON, I have to explicitly specify ObjectToJSON(myObject, [woStoreStoredFalse]), otherwise, the object won't be correctly serialized (i.e., those AS_UNIQUE fields will be missing).

Re: AS_UNIQUE and woStoreStoredFalse design problem

Now I understand your problem.

If you use TOrm, "stored AS_UNIQUE" is interpreted as "stored false" by ObjectToJson() so some fields are missing in the JSON.
This is indeed a bug.

I have introduced rcfDisableStored RTTI option so that  TOrm "stored AS_UNIQUE" attributes are ignored during JSON serialization.
It should fix your issue.
