[![Tests & PHP CodeSniffer](https://github.com/BennyC/xttribute/actions/workflows/php.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/BennyC/xttribute/actions/workflows/php.yml/badge.svg)[![GitHub tag](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/be0a3c96dcfbfc07fde01e5e33ff3c5571c90060dbec9e9ba8bdf29113cb8860/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f6769746875622f7461672f42656e6e79432f7874747269627574652e737667)](https://GitHub.com/BennyC/xttribute/tags/)

xttribute will make dealing with XML a breeze! DOMDocuments can now be cast to classes with PHP 8.1 attributes!

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1

### Installation

[](#installation)

Use [composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install

```
composer require xttribute/xttribute
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Given the following XML

```

  Tove
  Jani
  Reminder
  Don't forget me this weekend!

```

We can translate this easily to the following class with some attributes!

```
use Xttribute\Xttribute\Castables\Str;

class Note
{
    public function __construct(
        #[Str('/note/to')]
        public readonly string $to,
        #[Str('/note/from')]
        public readonly string $from,
        #[Str('/note/heading')]
        public readonly string $heading,
        #[Str('/note/body')]
        public readonly string $body,
    ) {
    }
}
```

Then we can run it through our `DomDocumentCaster` and get our hydrated object!

```
use Xttribute\Xttribute\DOMDocumentCaster;

// populate $source here with however you're receiving your XML

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML($source);

$caster = new DOMDocumentCaster();
$note = $caster->cast($doc, Note::class);

// Work with $note hydrated DTO...
```

Other ways of using this package can be found in our [examples](https://github.com/BennyC/xttribute/tree/main/examples).
