Support for 'poll-summary' when using 'thing'

[ZinkNotTheMetal]

It looks like BGG added a new property in the XML API named 'poll-summary' with this the thing api no longer works properly and is throwing an error when binding to the BggThing object.

I would argue that a new (unknown) property shouldn't break the existing API. I assume that LearningProcesss agrees, as they have created this request 2 years ago: pichillilorenzo/jackson-js#41

That's a really frustrating underlying issue.

@LearningProcesss any chance this is a quick fix for this instance?

[darekkay]

I've posted the technical solution to ignoring unknown properties in the jackson-js repository. I have also fixed the issue in my fork, but only for this particular problem (BggThingDto object). If @LearningProcesss agrees with the proposal, I can implement it for all DTOs and raise a PR.

Until then, I am using a workaround with my own fork as an npm dependency:

{
  "boardgamegeekclient": "git+https://github.com/darekkay/boardgamegeekjsclient.git#2b62d8927fb183af5883dbf683e700d5b128107f"
