YAML::ArrayConverter(Converter) - Crystal 1.7.3

# module YAML::ArrayConverter(Converter)

##
Overview

Converter to be used with `YAML::Serializable` to serialize the elements of an `Array(T)` with the custom converter.

    require "yaml"

    class Timestamp
      include YAML::Serializable

      @[YAML::Field(converter: YAML::ArrayConverter(Time::EpochConverter))]
      property values : Array(Time)
    end

    timestamp = Timestamp.from_yaml(%({"values":[1459859781,1567628762]}))
    timestamp.values  # => [2016-04-05 12:36:21 UTC, 2019-09-04 20:26:02 UTC]
    timestamp.to_yaml # => "---\nvalues:\n- 1459859781\n- 1567628762\n"

`YAML::ArrayConverter.new` should be used if the nested converter is also an instance instead of a type.

    require "yaml"

    class Timestamp
      include YAML::Serializable

      @[YAML::Field(converter: YAML::ArrayConverter.new(Time::Format.new("%b %-d, %Y")))]
      property values : Array(Time)
    end

    timestamp = Timestamp.from_yaml(%({"values":["Apr 5, 2016","Sep 4, 2019"]}))
    timestamp.values  # => [2016-04-05 00:00:00 UTC, 2019-09-04 00:00:00 UTC]
    timestamp.to_yaml # => "---\nvalues:\n- Apr 5, 2016\n- Sep 4, 2019\n"

This implies that `YAML::ArrayConverter(T)` and `YAML::ArrayConverter(T.class).new(T)` perform the same serializations.
