This repository just contains a simple base class for PHP data objects.

This class throws exceptions if you try to read or write unknown properties, and ensures a clone is performed recursively.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use this data object base class for your own data objects, just use something like this:

```
class Person extends \Kore\DataObject\DataObject
{
    public $prename;

    public $forename;
}
```

If you now access unknown properties you will get exceptions. For more details on the motivation behind this, read: [http://qafoo.com/blog/016\_struct\_classes\_in\_php.html](http://qafoo.com/blog/016_struct_classes_in_php.html)

In some cases it might be necessary that additional attributes can be passed while construction and are knowingly ignored and not added to the DataObject. Therefore a constructor parameter `$ignoreAdditionalAttributes` has been added, which is set to `true` by default. This will allow to create a DataObject of an array with more values where the additional values will be ignored and no exception will be thrown **during** construction. If you later try to access a property which is not existing though, an exception will be raised! On the other hand, if it's set to false it will throw an exception if you pass a value that doesn't match any property on the object.
