Hydrate object from array, export object to array

hydrator's Issues

Support for constructors

This code work OK:

class TestWithStrings
{
    /** @var string */
    public $name;

    /** @var string[] */
    public $images;
}


$object = new TestWithStrings();
$object->name = "John";
$object->images = ['first', 'second'];
$a = $hydrator->export($object, TestWithStrings::class);
$b = $hydrator->hydrate(TestWithStrings::class, $a);

But this version with constructors does not work:

class TestWithStrings
{
    /** @var string */
    public $name;

    /** @var string[] */
    public $images;

    public function __construct($name, array $images)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->images = $images;
    }
}


$object = new TestWithStrings('John', ['first', 'second']);
$a = $hydrator->export($object, TestWithStrings::class);
$b = $hydrator->hydrate(TestWithStrings::class, $a);

Support for arrays

Will be nice when the library support arrays - for example this code:

class Family
{
    /** @var string[] */
    public $imagesPath;
}

Examples are in phpDocumentor.

What do you thing about it?
