Json Serlization of Maybe

How do I Json serialize a class with Maybe property?

Repro: Update the current unit test. CSharpFunctionalExtensions\CSharpFunctionalExtensions.Tests\MaybeTests

    [Fact]
    public void Deserialize_sets_no_value_on_maybe_none()
    {
        Maybe<MyClass> maybe = Maybe<MyClass>.None;
        JsonSerializer.Serialize(maybe);
      
    }

It throws. System.InvalidOperationException : Maybe has no value.

Thanks.

The gist: Maybe class does not support serialization so we have to use a DTO class.

In the domain, it’s better to have Maybe<Email> AdditionalEmail; instead of EMail? AdditionalEmail;. If you want to serialize the class somewhere, then you’d need to map it to a DTO, which you’d serialize instead of the domain class.

Regarding the enum class, there should be 2 versions, 1 with Id and Name and the other one with just an Id. I haven’t looked into the current implementation in-depth yet, it probably needs some refactoring.
