This package allows you to generate object based on array data.

This can be useful for integrations with some APIs, for example.

Supports

[](#supports)

Package VersionPHP VersionSupported1.x8.1+✅Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require krzar/array-dto
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Simple object

[](#simple-object)

```
use KrZar\ArrayDto\ArrayDto;

class UserData extends ArrayDto {
    public string $name;
    public string $email;
    public int $age;
    public float $money;
    public bool $isActive = false;
    public array $roles = [];
}
```

To create this object from array call:

```
$data = [
    'name' => 'Test',
    'email' => 'test@test.com',
    'age' => 99,
    'money' => 1520.50,
    'isActive' => true,
    'roles' => ['ADMIN']
];

UserData::create($data);
```

If any parameter is not passed any value will be assigned, so a default value should be established for such cases.

### Nested object

[](#nested-object)

```
class CompanyData extends ArrayObject {
    public string $name;
    public string $city;
    public string $street;
}

class UserData extends ArrayObject {
    public string $name;
    public string $email;
    public int $age;
    public float $money;
    public bool $isActive = false;
    public array $roles = [];
    public CompanyData $company;
}
```

To create this object from array call:

```
$data = [
    'name' => 'Test',
    'email' => 'test@test.com',
    'age' => 99,
    'money' => 1520.50,
    'isActive' => true,
    'roles' => ['ADMIN'],
    'company' => [
        'name' => 'Test Company',
        'city' => 'Test',
        'street' => 'Test Street 1'
    ]
];

UserData::create($data);
```

### Nested object multidimensional

[](#nested-object-multidimensional)

If you want to create array of objects you need to configure this with `$arrayMap` property.

```
class UserData extends ArrayObject {
    public string $name;
    public string $email;
    public int $age;
    public float $money;
    public bool $isActive = false;
    public array $roles = [];
    public CompanyData $company;
    public array $children;

     protected function casts(): array {
        return [
            'children' => new \KrZar\ArrayDto\Casts\MultidimensionalCast(UserData::class),
        ];
     }
}
```

To create this object from array call:

```
$data = [
    'name' => 'Test',
    'email' => 'test@test.com',
    'age' => 99,
    'money' => 1520.50,
    'isActive' => true,
    'roles' => ['ADMIN'],
    'company' => [
        'name' => 'Test Company',
        'city' => 'Test',
        'street' => 'Test Street 1'
    ],
    'children' => [
        [
            'name' => 'Test 2',
            'email' => 'test2@test.com',
            'age' => 98,
            'money' => 2400,
            'isActive' => true,
            'roles' => ['MODERATOR']
        ]
    ]
];

UserData::create($data);
```

### Union types

[](#union-types)

You can use union types in objects, but with some restrictions:

- built-in types can be combined in any way
- ArrayObject type can be combined only with build-in types, not with other ArrayObject

For example:

```
public CompanyData|string $company;
```

`CompanyData` will be created if a `company` index in array is array type.

### Names mapping

[](#names-mapping)

You can map names of parameters using `$namesMap` array:

```
class UserData extends ArrayObject {
    public string $name;
    public string $email;
    public int $age;
    public float $money;
    public bool $isActive = false;
    public array $roles = [];
    public CompanyData $company;
    public array $children;

    protected function casts(): array {
            return [
                'children' => new \KrZar\ArrayDto\Casts\MultidimensionalCast(UserData::class),
                'is_active' => new \KrZar\ArrayDto\Casts\NameCast('isActive')
            ];
         }
    }
```

### Types mapping

[](#types-mapping)

Types are mapped automatically.

### Custom casts

[](#custom-casts)

You can make any custom cast and mapping to parameter. You can also provide array of casts.

```
class UserData extends ArrayObject {
    public string $name;
    public string $email;
    public int $age;
    public float $money;
    public bool $isActive = false;
    public array $roles = [];
    public CompanyData $company;
    public array $children;
    public int $agePlusTen;

    protected function casts(): array {
            return [
                'children' => new \KrZar\ArrayDto\Casts\MultidimensionalCast(UserData::class),
                'is_active' => new \KrZar\ArrayDto\Casts\NameCast('isActive'),
                'agePlusTen' => new \KrZar\ArrayDto\Casts\CustomCast(
                    fn(mixed $value, array $raw) => $raw['age'] + 10
                ),
            ];
         }
    }
```
