Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.2 and above. (Should be checked!) Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### 1. Using Composer [](#1-using-composer) You can install the library via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). If you don't already have Composer installed, first install it [from here](https://getcomposer.org/download/). After composer is installed, Then run the following command to install the json-2-php-class library: ``` composer require eden-tech-labs/json-2-php-class ``` ### 2. Manually [](#2-manually) **Warning:** You have to `require` the used classes or make an autoload function to do this. If you're not using Composer, you can also clone `eden-tech-labs/json-2-php-class` repository into a directory in your project: ``` git clone https://github.com/eden-tech-labs/json-2-php-class ``` However, using Composer is recommended as you can easily keep the library up-to-date and deal with autoloading. Usage ----- [](#usage) After you installed `json-2-php-class` library, in your classes you should implement the `interface` and `use` the trait and that satisfies the `interface` requirements. After that you should override the `_mapping()` method. You can check the implementation and documentation below. You can define your properties in the class or in the `PHPDoc` as in the example. After you define your properties rules you can export `PHPDoc`. Example below.(TODO: put link here) ### Sample Class [](#sample-class) ``` use DateTime; use EdenTechLabs\JSON2PHPClass\MadeFromDataContract; use EdenTechLabs\JSON2PHPClass\MadeFromJson; use EdenTechLabs\Common\Enum; /** * Class MyApp\SampleClass * @property string applicationId * @property SampleKind kind * @property DateTime purchaseTime * @property object developerPayload * @property int quantity * @property bool acknowledged * @property SamplePayload samplePayload */ class SampleClass implements MadeFromDataContract { use MadeFromJson; protected static function _mapping(): array { return [ 'applicationId' => 'string', 'kind' => SampleKind::class, 'purchaseTime' => 'milliseconds', 'developerPayload' => 'json', 'quantity' => 'int', 'acknowledged' => 'bool', 'samplePayload' => SamplePayload::class, ]; } } /** * Class MyApp\SamplePayload * @property string stupidId * @property bool autoRenewing * @property \DateTime purchaseTime */ class SamplePayload implements MadeFromDataContract { use MadeFromJson; protected static function _mapping() : array { return [ 'stupidId' => 'string', 'autoRenewing' => 'bool', 'purchaseTime' => 'seconds' ]; } } class SampleKind extends Enum { const KIND_ZERO = '0'; const KIND_ONE = '1'; const KIND_TWO = '2'; const KIND_TREE = '3'; } ``` ### Sample Usage [](#sample-usage) ``` $json = ' { "applicationId": "app-id-1", "kind": 2, "purchaseTime": "1584805754123", "developerPayload": "{\"foo\":\"bar\"}", "quantity": 34, "acknowledged": true, "samplePayload": { "stupidId": "foo-bar-45", "autoRenewing": false, "purchaseTime": 1584805754 } } '; $myClass = SampleClass::make($json); var_dump($myClass); ``` Output: ``` object(SampleClass)#1 (7) { ["applicationId"]=> string(8) "app-id-1" ["kind"]=> object(SampleKind)#3 (1) { ["value":protected]=> int(2) } ["purchaseTime"]=> object(DateTime)#4 (3) { ["date"]=> string(26) "2020-03-21 15:49:14.000000" ["timezone_type"]=> int(1) ["timezone"]=> string(6) "+00:00" } ["developerPayload"]=> object(stdClass)#5 (1) { ["foo"]=> string(3) "bar" } ["quantity"]=> int(34) ["acknowledged"]=> bool(true) ["samplePayload"]=> object(SamplePayload)#6 (3) { ["stupidId"]=> string(10) "foo-bar-45" ["autoRenewing"]=> bool(false) ["purchaseTime"]=> object(DateTime)#7 (3) { ["date"]=> string(26) "2020-03-21 15:49:14.000000" ["timezone_type"]=> int(1) ["timezone"]=> string(6) "+00:00" } } } ``` As a property `mapping` you can define this types: - `int` Integer - `string` String - `float` Any Number that has fraction part - `bool` Boolean - `milliseconds` PHP DateTime object generated from string or int containing timestamp in milliseconds - `seconds` PHP DateTime object generated from string or int containing timestamp in seconds - `json` Standard PHP object generated trough `json_decode` - `unknown` The value is assigned to the property without any transformations. - `AnyClass::class` - If `implements MadeFromDataContract` an object will be created using `make` function - Any other class will be created by `__construct` passing the `value` as first and only parameter. - `Closure` To be defined. PHPDoc ------ [](#phpdoc) Example ``` echo SampleClass::generatePHPDoc(); ``` Output ``` /** * Class SampleClass * @property string applicationId * @property \SampleKind kind * @property \DateTime purchaseTime * @property object developerPayload * @property int quantity * @property bool acknowledged * @property \SamplePayload samplePayload */ ``` ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 85.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
