Yet Another Serializer Library (YASL)
=====================================

[](#yet-another-serializer-library-yasl)

by Yet Another DDD Library (YADDDL)
-----------------------------------

[](#by-yet-another-ddd-library-yadddl)

This library implements a serializer, and it follows those rules:

- **Do not use extra metadata:** the PHP language is expressive enough to give you everything you need.
- **Convention over configuration:** just configure what differ from the standard use case, that already cover the majority of the cases.

It goes in-pair with the [Value Object](https://github.com/yadddl/value-object) project of the same family, but could be used alone. Just be sure to follow the [conventions](docs/conventions.md)!

It doesn't cover all the possibile use cases, then use it if you want, or contribute if you like what we are doing and want to expand it.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
composer require yadddl/serializer

```

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

[](#getting-started)

Given a simple DTO

```
class SillyDTO {
    public function __construct(
        private string $propertyOne,
        private int $propertyTwo,
        private string $hiddenProperty
    ) {}

    public function getPropertyOne(): string
    {
        return $this->propertyOne;
    }

    public function getPropertyTwo(): int
    {
        return $this->propertyTwo;
    }
}
```

The easy way to serialize it is this one

```
use Yadddl\Serializer\Factory\SerializerBaseFactory;

// Fastest way to create a basic serializer
$serializer = SerializerBaseFactory::make();

$dto = new SillyDTO('one', 2, 'hidden');

$data = $serializer->serialize($dto);

echo json_encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
```

And the resulting json

```
{
    "propertyOne": "one",
    "propertyTwo": 2
}
```
