Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require bradietilley/php-data
```

```
use BradieTilley\Data\Data;

class ProductData extends Data
{
    public function __construct(
        public string $title,
        public int $reviews,
        public float $rating,
        public CategoryData $category,
    ) {}
}

class CategoryData extends Data
{
    public function __construct(
        public string $title,
        public bool $featured,
    ) {}
}

// Hydrate from an array, model, DTO, stdClass or JSON string, with automatic casting
$product = ProductData::from([
    'title' => 'Denim Jeans',
    'reviews' => '5',
    'rating' => '4.5',
    'category' => [
        'name' => 'Pants',
        'featured' => false,
    ],
]);

// …or construct explicitly with named arguments
$product = ProductData::make(
    title: 'Widget',
    reviews: '5',
    rating: '4.5',
    category: [
        'name' => 'Pants',
        'featured' => false,
    ],
);

$product->category; // CategoryData 'Pants', 'featured' => false ]>

// Serialize
$product->toArray(); // ['title' => 'Widget', 'reviews' => 5, 'rating' => 4.5, 'category' => ['title'  => 'Pants', 'featured' => false]]
```

See the [documentation](https://bradietilley.dev/laravel-data) for hydration, serialization, attributes, and framework-agnostic usage.
