Webdevcave DTO
==============

[](#webdevcave-dto)

Provides a foundation for data transfer objects in PHP applications. Built with support for `ArrayAccess`, `JsonSerializable` interfaces and hydration provided by our dependency injection container (`webdevcave/yadic`).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.4.1
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

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

[](#installation)

Using composer:

```
composer require webdevcave/dto
```

Usage example
-------------

[](#usage-example)

Extend the `DataTransferObject` class and define your properties. You can use the `from()` method to hydrate the DTO from an array.

```
use Webdevcave\DTO\DataTransferObject;

class UserDTO extends DataTransferObject
{
    public function __construct(
        public readonly string $name,  // Use 'readonly' for strictness.
        public readonly string $email,
    ) {}
}

// Hydrating from array
$data = ['name' => 'John Doe', 'email' => 'john@example.com'];
$user = UserDTO::from($data);

echo $user->name; // John Doe

// ArrayAccess
echo $user['email']; // john@example.com

// JSON Serialization
echo json_encode($user);
```
