WHAT IS IT?
-----------

[](#what-is-it)

This cli tool will generate a DTO class to be used as a replacement for array.

WHY?
----

[](#why)

A lot of php code is array-heavy, the idea is to use objects for data transfer, especially as return types.

HOW TO USE?
-----------

[](#how-to-use)

`$ php generate.php generate:dto-array %path% %className%` - a DTO %className% will be generated at %path%. You will be asked about the properties you want to include in the class.

TODO:
-----

[](#todo)

- Check that directory exist before writing generated classes
- Refactor GenerateArrayClassCommand's callback actions to standalone classes
- Add tests for ArrayClassGenerator (introduce filesystem writer dependency)
