Object Creator
==============

[](#object-creator)

The Object Creator can be used to instantiate and initialize objects from classes which represent a data structure. It is possible to add instantiators which know how to instantiate objects of a specific class. In this way it can be ensured that all objects are getting instantiated properly.

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
use Drieschel\ObjectCreator\ObjectCreator;
use Drieschel\ObjectCreator\Instantiator\DateTimeInstantiator;

// Example data from various source
$data = [
    'int' => 42,
    'float' => 0.7,
    'string' => 'yeeeehaaa',
    'bool' => true,
    'datetime' => 'Sat Jan 30 1988 12:22:22 GMT+0100'
];

// Example data structure class
class Entity {
    protected int $int;

    protected float $float;

    protected string $string;

    protected bool $bool;

    protected \DateTimeInterface $datetime;

    public function __construct(int $int, string $string) {
        $this->int = $int;
        $this->string = $string;
    }

    public function setFloat(float $float): self
    {
        $this->float = $float;
        return $this;
    }

    public function setBool(bool $bool): self
    {
        $this->bool = $bool;
        return $this;
    }

    public function setDatetime(\DateTimeInterface $datetime): self
    {
        $this->datetime = $datetime;
        return $this;
    }
}

// Instantiate the creator
$creator = new ObjectCreator();

// Add a class mapping for arguments from type DateTimeInterface.
// All arguments from type DateTimeInterface will be instantiated as DateTimeImmutable
$creator->setClassMapping(\DateTimeInterface::class, \DateTimeImmutable::class);

// Register a DateTime instantiator which knows how to
// instantiate objects that implements the DateTimeInterface
$creator->registerInstantiator(new DateTimeInstantiator());

// Instantiate an object
$entity = $creator->instantiate(Entity::class, $data);

// Initialize an object
$creator->initialize($entity, $data);

// Or instantiate and initialize an object together
$entity = $creator->instantiateAndInitialize(Entity::class, $data);
```
