I just ran into the same problem earlier today, so I'll leave this in case anyone else stumbles upon the same problem.
As of 2025-01-16, the only clean way to do this is to create your own implementation of IHybridCacheSerializerFactory
and register it in place of DefaultJsonSerializerFactory
.
Register the service and your custom serializer factory:
builder.Services.AddHybridCache().AddSerializerFactory<CustomJsonSerializerFactory>();
Create CustomJsonSerializerFactory.cs
:
internal sealed class CustomJsonSerializerFactory : IHybridCacheSerializerFactory
{
private static readonly JsonSerializerOptions _defaultOptions;
static CustomJsonSerializerFactory() =>
_defaultOptions = new JsonSerializerOptions
{
DefaultIgnoreCondition = JsonIgnoreCondition.WhenWritingNull
};
public bool TryCreateSerializer<T>([NotNullWhen(true)] out IHybridCacheSerializer<T>? serializer)
{
serializer = new DefaultJsonSerializer<T>();
return true;
}
internal sealed class DefaultJsonSerializer<T> : IHybridCacheSerializer<T>
{
T IHybridCacheSerializer<T>.Deserialize(ReadOnlySequence<byte> source)
{
var reader = new Utf8JsonReader(source);
return JsonSerializer.Deserialize<T>(ref reader, _defaultOptions)!;
}
void IHybridCacheSerializer<T>.Serialize(T value, IBufferWriter<byte> target)
{
using var writer = new Utf8JsonWriter(target);
JsonSerializer.Serialize(writer, value, _defaultOptions);
}
}
}
As needed, you may specify other options you find useful as well.
See this question as well, as the conclusion by the OP was somewhat similar: How can I use NodaTime with redis?
