Hydrator
========

[](#hydrator)

PHP Library to hydrate objects with class setters

Instalation
-----------

[](#instalation)

```
composer require ferfabricio/hydrator

```

How use
-------

[](#how-use)

If you have a class like this:

```
class Example
{
    private $test;

    public function setTest($test)
    {
        $this->test = $test;
    }

    public function getTest()
    {
        return $this->test;
    }
}

```

And need to create a object from an array:

```
$myData = [
    'test' => 'this is a test'
];

```

You can use `FerFabricio\Hydrator\Hydrate` to do this work in a simple way:

```
use FerFabricio\Hydrator\Hydrate;

class Example
{
    private $test;

    public function setTest($test)
    {
        $this->test = $test;
    }

    public function getTest()
    {
        return $this->test;
    }
}

$myData = [
    'test' => 'this is a test'
];

$example = Hydratate::toObject(Example::class, $myData);
echo $example->getTest(); // This line will print: this is a test

```

Autoload
--------

[](#autoload)

This library is only compatible with PSR-4, please be sure if your application is well configured to work with this.
