=======================

[](#php-json-object-library)

Base object for api

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

` composer require vanengers/php-json-object-library`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Vanengers\PhpJsonObjectLibrary\PhpJsonObject;
class SamplePhpObject extends PhpJsonObject
{
    public string $property = 'value';
}

```

### Use array to create object

[](#use-array-to-create-object)

```
$object = new SamplePhpObject(['property' => 'new value']);

```

### Or pass Json directly

[](#or-pass-json-directly)

```
$object = new SamplePhpObject("{\"property\":\"new value\"}");

```

### Use setters

[](#use-setters)

```
class SamplePhpObject extends PhpJsonObject
{
    public string $property = 'value';

    public function setProperty(string $data): self
    {
        $this->property = $value;
        // do stuff here like parsing data, transformation or validations

        return $this;
    }
}

```

### Translate json/array data to another object property

[](#translate-jsonarray-data-to-another-object-property)

```
class SamplePhpObject extends PhpJsonObject
{
    public $mappers = [
           'property_other_remote_name' => 'property'
    ];

    public string $property = 'value';

    ...
}

```

```
$object = new SamplePhpObject("{\"property_other_remote_name\":\"new value\"}");
$object->getProperty(); // returns: "new value"

```

### serialize to json / create array

[](#serialize-to-json--create-array)

```
$object = new SamplePhpObject("{\"property\":\"new value\"}");
$array = $object->toArray();
$json = $object->toJson();

```

### skip certain fields in object from being serialized

[](#skip-certain-fields-in-object-from-being-serialized)

```
$object = new SamplePhpObject("{\"property\":\"new value\"}");
$array = $object->toArray(['skip' => ['property']]);
$json = $object->toJson(['skip' => ['property']]);

```

### skip certain fields in object from being serialized

[](#skip-certain-fields-in-object-from-being-serialized-1)

```
$object = new SamplePhpObject("{\"property\":\"new value\"}");
$array = $object->toArray(['skip' => ['property']]);
$json = $object->toJson(['skip' => ['property']]);

```

### skip certain fields in object from being serialized only when value is null

[](#skip-certain-fields-in-object-from-being-serialized-only-when-value-is-null)

```
$object = new SamplePhpObject("{\"property\":\"new value\"}");
$array = $object->toArray(['skip_null' => ['property']]);
$json = $object->toJson(['skip_null' => ['property']]);

```

### skip certain fields in object from being serialized only when value is empty()

[](#skip-certain-fields-in-object-from-being-serialized-only-when-value-is-empty)

```
$object = new SamplePhpObject("{\"property\":\"new value\"}");
$array = $object->toArray(['skip_empty' => ['property']]);
$json = $object->toJson(['skip_empty' => ['property']]);

```

### exclude properties from serialization

[](#exclude-properties-from-serialization)

```
class SamplePhpObject extends PhpJsonObject
{
    public $exclude_from_array = [
           'property'
    ];

    public string $property = 'value';
    public string $property2 = 'value';

    ...
}

```

Which results in

```
{
    "property2": "value"
}

```

### Add prefixes to your keys, when your resultset defines multidimensional arrays with some keys being the same

[](#add-prefixes-to-your-keys-when-your-resultset-defines-multidimensional-arrays-with-some-keys-being-the-same)

#### You can then process the parent key-name and add the whole key in the mappers

[](#you-can-then-process-the-parent-key-name-and-add-the-whole-key-in-the-mappers)

```
class SamplePhpObject extends PhpJsonObject
{
    public $mappers = [
           'person_name' => 'author',
           'recipient_name' => 'recipient',
    ];

    public string $author = '';
    public string $recipient = '';

    ...
}

```

#### While your resultset is like this

[](#while-your-resultset-is-like-this)

```
{
    "person": {
        "name": "John Doe"
    },
    "recipient": {
        "name": "Jane Doe"
    }
}

```

#### You should use the prefix option while parsing the json and use setters

[](#you-should-use-the-prefix-option-while-parsing-the-json-and-use-setters)

```
class SamplePhpObject extends PhpJsonObject
{
    public $mappers = [
           'person_name' => 'author',
           'recipient_name' => 'recipient',
    ];

    public string $author = '';
    public string $recipient = '';

    public function setPerson($data)
    {
        if (is_array($data)) {
            $this->fromArray($data);
        }
    }

    public function setRecipient($data)
    {
        if (is_array($data)) {
            $this->fromArray($data);
        }
    }
}

```
