How to install

How to use

Serialize a simple value object

use CNastasi\Serializer\Serializer\SimpleValueObjectSerializer; use CNastasi\Example\Age; $serializer = new SimpleValueObjectSerializer(); // $result === 37 $result = $serializer->serialize(new Age(37));

Unserialize a simple value object

use CNastasi\Serializer\Unserializer\SimpleValueObjectUnserializer; use CNastasi\Example\Age; $serializer = new SimpleValueObjectUnserializer(); // $result === Age(37) $result = $serializer->unserialize(37, Age::class);

Complex example

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; use CNastasi\Example\Address; use CNastasi\Example\Age; use CNastasi\Example\Name; use CNastasi\Example\Person; use CNastasi\Example\Phone; use CNastasi\Serializer\Serializer\CompositeValueObjectSerializer; use CNastasi\Serializer\Serializer\SimpleValueObjectSerializer; use CNastasi\Serializer\DefaultSerializer; // Initialize the Serializer $simpleValueObjectSerializer = new SimpleValueObjectSerializer(); $compositeValueObjectSerializer = new CompositeValueObjectSerializer($simpleValueObjectSerializer); $serializer = new DefaultSerializer([$simpleValueObjectSerializer, $compositeValueObjectSerializer]); // Create your domain objects $age = new Age(37); // A simple one $address = new Address('145 Main Street', 'New York'); // A composite // A composite and complex, with nullable and recursion $person = new Person( new Name ('Christian Nastasi'), new Age(37), new Address('42 Somewhere Street', 'World'), new Phone('+39 123456754') ); // Serialize the objects var_dump($serializer->serialize($age)); /*  * int(37)  */ var_dump($serializer->serialize($address)); /*  * array(2) {  * 'street' => string(15) "145 Main Street"  * 'city' => string(8) "New York"  * }  */ var_dump($serializer->serialize($person)); /*   array(5) {  'name' => string(17) "Christian Nastasi"  'age' => int(37)  'address' => array(2) {  'street' => string(19) "42 Somewhere Street"  'city' => string(5) "World"  }  'phone' => string(13) "+39 123456754"  'parent' => array(5) {  'name' => string(17) "Christian Nastasi"  'age' => int(37)  'address' => array(2) {  'street' => string(19) "42 Somewhere Street"  'city' => string(5) "World"  }  'phone' => string(13) "+39 123456754"  'parent' => NULL  }  }   */
