Hello,

When using modules such as https://www.drupal.org/project/link_class or https://www.drupal.org/project/link_attributes, the "options" field in a link field is output in the JSON API representation of an entity, but it is empty.

Is it by design or a missing implementation?

Thanks for the reply.

Title: Output link fields option » Link fields' "options" not normalized
Category: Feature request » Bug report
Status: Active » Closed (duplicate)
Issue tags: +API-First Initiative
Related issues: +#2895532: @DataType=map cannot be normalized, affects @FieldType=link, @FieldType=map

Both those modules store link options. \Drupal\link\Plugin\Field\FieldType\LinkItem defines this options property like this:

    $properties['options'] = MapDataDefinition::create()
      ->setLabel(t('Options'));

As you can see, it uses the MapDataDefinition typed data definition. And that in turn leads to #2895532: @DataType=map cannot be normalized, affects @FieldType=link, @FieldType=map — which is actively being worked on. Once that is fixed, this should start working too.
