Neo4jClient Create is including a JsonIgnore property-CodePudding

I have a C# class with simple properties I am expecting to be saved to a Node when I call create. When I build the query using Neo4jClient 5.1.3, a complex class that is decorated with [JsonIgnore] is included in the CREATE command.

Here is a Person class:

public class Person {
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }    
        public string Email { get; set; }

        [JsonIgnore]
        public Organization Employer { get; set; }

}

I'm creating an instance of it:

        var person = new Person
        {
            Email = "[email protected]",
            FirstName = "Job",
            LastName = "Bob",
            Employer = previouslyCreatedEmployer,
        };

...and when I run this:

            var query = neo.Client.Cypher
                .Create("(p:Person:Security $object)")
                .WithParams(new Dictionary<string, object> {
                    { "object", person }
                })
                ;

the QueryTextForDebug is this:

CREATE (p:Person:Security {
  Email: "[email protected]",
  FirstName: "Job",
  LastName: "Bob",
  Employer: {
    Logo: "",
    IxId: "89becda5-98b4-4623-928f-4c6580cd554f",
    name: "Joe's Bakery"
  },
  IxId: "eb117b37-b062-40e1-b038-1749156ecf7a"
})

Since I had the JsonIgnore tag on Employer in class definition I was not expecting it to be included. What am I missing? And thank you.

Side thought... maybe I SHOULDN'T have the JsonIgnore tag in there so I can write nicer queries, right?

CodePudding user response：

Neo4jClient v5.1.3 depends on Newtonsoft.Json, check that JsonIgnore comes from this library and not from System.Text.Json, or specify full type name including namespace:

public class Person 
{
    [Newtonsoft.Json.JsonIgnore]
    public Organization Employer { get; set; }
}
