It uses FILTER\_VALIDATE\_BOOL, see the [php docs](https://www.php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.validate.php) for more information ### Date [](#date) The DateCaster will attempt to cast the provided value into a Carbon instance, using the provided format. If no format is specified 'd.m.Y H:i:s' will be used. ``` use Morningtrain\DataTransferObjectCasters\Casters\DateCaster; class DTO extends DataTransferObject { #[CastWith(DateCaster::class, format: 'Y-m-d')] public Carbon $date; } ``` ### Int [](#int) The IntCaster casts the provided value to an integer using (int) cast. ### Trim [](#trim) The TrimCaster will trim the provided value, so no whitespace remains around the value. ### UppercaseFirst [](#uppercasefirst) The UppercaseFirstCaster will uppercase the first letter of the provided value, similar to php's [ucfirst function](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucfirst.php). Optionally, the caster can lowercase the rest of the string, like so. ``` use Morningtrain\DataTransferObjectCasters\Casters\UppercaseFirstCaster; class DTO extends DataTransferObject { #[CastWith(UppercaseFirstCaster::class, lower: true)] public string $ucFirstString; } ``` If the provided value is not a string, it will return the provided value.
