phpgt/dataobject

Structured, type-safe, immutable data transfer.

dataobject's Issues

Change usage example in README to something other that JSON

Because the functionality has been moved to PHP.Gt/Json, the example doesn't make sense any more.

Documentation for DataObject

It's a simple repo, so it won't take long!

Schema validation

Not sure if this is in scope of this simple repo, but it would be nice to create an object from a preexisting schema, like JSONSchema or GraphQL or something like that.

Take a look at these other libraries:

• https://github.com/phpexpertsinc/SimpleDTO
• https://github.com/fireproofsocks/dto

Contains function?

Should there be a function that checks whether a key is present?

getObject()

For retrieving nested objects, so that code intelligence in IDEs can be preserved.

Mention PhpGt/Json in README

CI & QA improvements

We need to introduce Mess Detector, Code Sniffer and matrix builds.

Empty nested arrays are seen as associative

On line 17 of DataObjectBuilder, there's no check to see if $value is empty.

Typed arrays are not nullable

$object->getArray("something", "string");

If there is no "something" key in the object, a type error is thrown Argument #1 ($array) must be of type array, null given, called in phpgt/dataobject/src/DataObject.php on line 82

This is a really quick fix. On DataObject, line 78, add :?array instead of :array.

Extract JSON functionality into own repo

Nested data objects do not carry their data object class type

When an object is converted into a DataObject, and a custom class is specified to use for the DataObject, this class is not carried on into nested objects.

Check type?

Should there be a function for getting the type of a key by name?

Dependabot

Dependabot needs to be tamed, as per PhpGt/WebEngine#568
