Hydrator to create PHP objects from data, using Reflections, use e.g. PSR Container through a [FactoryInterface](https://github.com/bemit/orbiter-hydrator/blob/master/src/FactoryInterface.php).

```
composer require orbiter/hydrator
```

```
// needs implementation:
// $factory = \Orbiter\Hydrator\FactoryInterface()
$hydrator = new \Orbiter\Hydrator\Hydrator($factory);

// params = e.g. most likely used by your factory for __construct, array of params
$hydrator->make($class_name, $params);

// data = use to hydrate after instance creation, can be associative array or stdClass
//        uses keys/properties as names for the property to inject
// third parameter = true ignores missing properties
$hydrator->hydrate($class, $data, false);
$hydrator->makeAndInject($class_name, $data, false, $params);

//
// for PHP-DI users:
use function DI\autowire;
use function DI\get;

$dependencies = [
    Orbiter\Hydrator\BridgePHPDIFactory::class => autowire()
        ->constructorParameter('factory', get(DI\FactoryInterface::class)),
    Orbiter\Hydrator\Hydrator::class => autowire()
        ->constructorParameter('factory', get(Orbiter\Hydrator\BridgePHPDIFactory::class)),
]

```
