Indent with string | number | null

[sumbricht]

I'm not a big fan it space indentation as I have a strong preference on tabs :-). The TypeScript declaration currently defines ITypedJSONSettings.indent as number | null; I'm suggesting to change that to number | string | null.

As far as I can tell, nothing else needs to be changed as all you're doing with the indent property is pass it as 3rd parameter to JSON.stringify, which already accepts number | string as the "space" parameter.

For anyone blocked by TypedJSON issues: my own software heavily relied on TypedJSON and had to apply numerous hacks for issues in TypedJSON that are not getting fixed. I loved TypedJSON but unfortunately had to move on as there has not been a single fix in 4 years now.

Therefore I created the similarly powerful library json-class-serializer heavily inspired by TypedJSON, which addresses all my issues (and hopefully yours). It's pretty much a drop-in replacement if you don't rely on reflect-metadata, which I'm not supporting (as this was the cause of most of my issues). If you rely on reflect-metadata, just specify the constructors of properties other than string/number/boolean and then it most likely just works.

Please feel free to give it a try if you feel the urge to move away from TypedJSON but don't want to do any heavy re-engineering. And please don't hate on me for the advertisement here as I have contributed to TypedJSON as well and opened many still-open issues :-).

You can find my library at @sumbricht/json-class-serializer and gladly open issues there if you feel something's missing / not working correctly.
