Porting dataType creation in c# from8 to 9
I are trying to create a data type in c# but getting stuck.

Umbraco8
```
var exists = current.PropertyEditor.TryGet(alias, out editor);
if (!exists)
{
DataType newDataType = new DataType(editor)
.......
}
```
umbraco9 so far
```
IDataType editor = _dataTypeService.GetByEditorAlias(docType).FirstOrDefault();
if (editor == null)
{
    var serializer = new IConfigurationEditorJsonSerializer();
    DataType newDataType = new DataType(editor.Editor, serializer, containerId);
............
}
```
as per https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Management/Models/DataType

how ever I cant find any implementation on what I supposed to do with IConfigurationEditorJsonSerializer hence the guess in the line.

any suggestions would be great.

Found the answer

public class abc
        private readonly IConfigurationEditorJsonSerializer _serializer;
        public IBDInstallService(IPublishedContentQuery publishedContentQuery,
            IDataTypeService dataTypeService, 
            IConfigurationEditorJsonSerializer serializer,
            IShortStringHelper shortStringHelper)
        {
            _dataTypeService = dataTypeService;
            _serializer = serializer;
            _shortStringHelper = shortStringHelper;
        }

public void Create DataType ()
{
......
var editor = _dataTypeService.GetByEditorAlias(docType).FirstOrDefault();
                if (editor != null)
                {

                    DataType newDataType = new DataType(editor.Editor, _serializer, containerId);
.........

}
