An ObjectMapper for PHP (inspired by ObjectMapper in java)

Object mapper

An ObjectMapper for PHP (inspired by ObjectMapper in java)

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require nddcoder/object-mapper

Usage

use Nddcoder\ObjectMapper\ObjectMapper;

class User {
    public string $name;
    public string $email;
}

$objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

//Make object from json string
$jsonString = '{"name":"Dung Nguyen Dang","email":"[email protected]"}';
$user = $objectMapper->readValue($jsonString, User::class);
echo $user->name; //Dung Nguyen Dang
echo $user->email; //[email protected]

//You can pass an associative array to readValue function instead of string
$user = $objectMapper->readValue(['name' => 'Dung Nguyen Dang', 'email' => '[email protected]'], User::class);

//Convert object to json string
$userJsonString = $objectMapper->writeValueAsString($user);
echo $userJsonString; //{"name":"Dung Nguyen Dang","email":"[email protected]"}

Array Property

Use ArrayProperty Attribute to specific type of array item

use Nddcoder\ObjectMapper\ObjectMapper;
use Nddcoder\ObjectMapper\Attributes\ArrayProperty;

class Comment {
    public string $from;
    public string $content;
}

class Post {
    public string $title;
    
    #[ArrayProperty(Comment::class)]
    public array $comments;
}

$objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

//Make object from json string
$jsonString = '{"title":"New Blog Post","comments":[{"from":"nddcoder","content":"Hello"}]}';
$post = $objectMapper->readValue($jsonString, Post::class);
echo $post->title; //New Blog Post
print_r($post->comments);
/*
Array
(
    [0] => Comment Object
        (
            [from] => nddcoder
            [content] => Hello
        )

)
*/

Custom JSON property

You can use JsonProperty('<propertyName>') to custom name for a property

use Nddcoder\ObjectMapper\ObjectMapper;
use Nddcoder\ObjectMapper\Attributes\JsonProperty;

class Post {
    public string $title;
    
    #[JsonProperty('body')]
    public string $content;
}

$objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

//Make object from json string
$jsonString = '{"title":"New Blog Post","body":"Blog body here"}';
$post = $objectMapper->readValue($jsonString, Post::class);
echo $post->title; //New Blog Post
echo $post->content; //Blog body here

//Convert object to json string
$postJsonString = $objectMapper->writeValueAsString($post);
echo $postJsonString; //{"title":"New Blog Post","body":"Blog body here"}

Custom behavior via getter/setter

You can define getter/setter to custom behavior when get/set a property

use Nddcoder\ObjectMapper\ObjectMapper;
use Nddcoder\ObjectMapper\Attributes\JsonProperty;

class User {
    public string $username;
    protected string $password;
    
    public function setUsername(string $username): void
    {
        $this->username = strtolower($username);
    }
    
    public function getPassword(): ?string
    {
        return null;
    }
    
    public function setPassword(string $password): void
    {
        $this->password = md5($password);
    }
}

$objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

//Make object from json string
$jsonString = '{"username":"NDDCoder","password":"secret"}';
$user = $objectMapper->readValue($jsonString, User::class);
print_r($user);
/*
User Object
(
    [username] => nddcoder
    [password:protected] => 5ebe2294ecd0e0f08eab7690d2a6ee69
)
*/


//Convert object to json string
$userJsonString = $objectMapper->writeValueAsString($user);
echo $userJsonString; //{"username":"nddcoder","password":null}

Encoders

By default, package included 2 encoders for DateTimeInterface and stdClass

You can create your custom encoder by implements ObjectMapperEncoder interface

use MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId;
use Nddcoder\ObjectMapper\Contracts\ObjectMapperEncoder;

class ObjectIdEncoder implements ObjectMapperEncoder
{
    public function encode(mixed $value, ?string $className = null): string
    {
        return (string) $value;
    }

    public function decode(mixed $value, ?string $className = null): mixed
    {
        return new ObjectId($value);
    }
}

and then using ObjectMapper::addGlobalEncoder to add it as global or addEncoder to add it to current instance only

ObjectMapper::addGlobalEncoder(ObjectId::class, ObjectIdEncoder::class);
$objectMapper->addEncoder(ObjectId::class, ObjectIdEncoder::class);

You can remove global encoder using ObjectMapper::removeGlobalEncoder or removeEncoder to remove encoder from current instance only

ObjectMapper::removeGlobalEncoder(ObjectId::class);
$objectMapper->removeEncoder(ObjectId::class);
