that needs inline comment Why

This is the wrong fix - we need a new normalizer like EntityPilot has - see http://cgit.drupalcode.org/entity_pilot/tree/src/Normalizer/TermEntityNo... and http://cgit.drupalcode.org/entity_pilot/tree/src/EntityPilotServiceProvi...

Here it is, still needs tests

Given that this is the same normalizer we have in entity pilot. I think we should add this normalizer to core.

trying to write tests
no need for core, just need to fix #2543726: Make $term->parent behave like any other entity reference field, to fix REST and Migrate support and de-customize its Views integration

This is an alter function so we should move this service definition to yml file. Do we really need module exist check for taxonomy?

Here's a test

@jibran suppose we have to check for module enable, otherwise default content module should set dependency

Ok that's fine so why not use DefaultContentServiceProvider::register() instead.

personally because there's alter already

FYI, I created a sandbox called 'Better Normalizers ', https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/sam/2705067. The intention being, sharing this code between modules. Maybe copying them is easiest if they are likely to vary between these modules anyway, but it was required for aGov because we needed the file_entity normalizers but didn't want a dependency on file_entity itself.

Is there a way to manually at the parent to the json file? I'm still not able to export the parent for taxonomy terms …

this part missed in reroll

Service provider gone, so patch restores

Tests needs review cos old ones are refactored

I think this is ready too, will commit on Monday if still RTBC

Patch #28 worked for me. Thanks.

Note that I just filed #2796791: Recursive reference export, which might be a problem specific to this patch or something more general.

#28 Still working for me :) THx!

Fixed, thanks!
