Flexible Data Formatters
========================

[](#flexible-data-formatters)

Provides a way to easily format a selection of a DataObject's fields used in a custom API. This is often useful when creating your own RESTful API that doesn't use SilverStripes `RestfulServer`

For a SilverStripe `2.4` compatible version see the branch `0.2`.

Installation (with composer)
============================

[](#installation-with-composer)

```
$ composer require heyday/silverstripe-flexibledataformatters:~0.1

```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

```
class MyDataObject extends DataObject implements FlexibleDataFormatterInterface
{
	public static $db = array(
    	'Title' => 'Varchar(255)'
	);

    public function getReadableFields()
    {
        return array(
            'Title'
        );
    }

    public function getDynamicFields()
    {
        return array();
    }
}

$dataObject = new MyDataObject(array('Title' => 'Hello'));
$formatter = new FlexibleJsonDataFormatter();
echo $formatter->convertDataObject($dataObject);

//	Results:
//	{
//		"Title": "Hello"
//	}
```
