You can decode the methods with JsonDecoder.succeed:

...
getTaskByID: JsonDecoder.succeed
...

but the class will lose all the instance information during the decoding process. If you are using the instanceof operator later on it won't work. Aside from that, you are good to go.

Hey Joan, sorry for bothering you again.

I have a case where the columns from the JSON can be with different for instance the JSON can have _color: yellow or color: yellow.

I am using the keyMap for the _color and I thought that if the column does not exist will take color but it is not the case. How can I have more the one keymap option?

Hi Joan, sorry for bothering you. U have a case when the property in the class can be a number or null. How I can set a default value when it is null?
