I am trying to deserialize a a serialized string of a child class from a static method.
I have tried referenced the childClass from the static method, but it can't find it because it's a static method, I have tried referencing the child class as I normally would, but the syntax is wrong. I'm unable to find an example in the documentation of doing this directly. I know it's possibly I could create a new class and reference that so I could directly deserialize by Apex type myChildClass, but I would like to do this without creating a new class if possible.
Invoking Class
public class otherClass {
myClass.myChildClass instanceOfChildClass = new myClass.myChildClass();
instanceOfChildClass.myString = 'Test';
instanceOfChildClass.myMap = myMap.put('testKey','testValue');
myClass.myMethod(JSON.serialize(instanceOfChildClass));
}
Apex Type & Deserializing Method
public class myClass {
public class myChildClass {
String myString {get;set;}
Map<String,string> myMap {get;set;}
}
public static String myMethod (String serializedMyChildClass) {
// I want to deserialze using myChildClass
myClass deserialization = (myClass)JSON.deserialize(serializedMyChildClass, myClass.myChildClass.class);
return deserialization.myChildClass.myString;
}
}
