Creating a data object from JSON string not working

[ferasWb]

According to the Documentation here (Data can also be created from JSON strings: ...), I should be able to create a DataObject from a JSON string without the need for a magic method.

But when I try the exact example from the docs, I'm getting this error:

Spatie\LaravelData\Exceptions\CannotCreateData Could not create a App\Data\SongData object from value with type string, no normalizer was found.

did I misunderstand the docs? or is there a mistake in the docs and I do have to use an explicit magic method for JSON strings?

P.S. I'm using V3.8.1 (the most current at the time)

We have a test testing: this:

laravel-data/tests/Normalizers/JsonNormalizerTest.php

Line 6 in 7bc0c95

it('can create a data object from JSON', function () {

Is your JSON valid? Check JsonNormalizer for more details.

yeah, to be sure I used the exact example from the docs.
SongData::from('{"name" : "Never Gonna Give You Up","artist" : "Rick Astley"}');
and it's causing the same error

Looks like the docs are not correct

{"name" : "Never Gonna Give You Up","artist" : "Rick Astley"}

should be: {"title" : "Never Gonna Give You Up","artist" : "Rick Astley"}

I've updated it

Ahh I was missing the JsonNormlizer on my DataObject

    public static function normalizers(): array
    {
        return [
            JsonNormalizer::class,
        ];
    }

sorry, I'm still new to the lib. And the section of the docs I cited, doesn't mention the need to use the Normalizer when creating from JSON.

Thanks for the quick reply and for pointing me in the right direction!
