Binding to Objects

To update date of a given object (for example Doctrine entity) the "to" method can be used. Supposted the entity structure looks like this:


... and this should is what we get from an put action or something else:

{
    "id": 1181,
    "isAdmin": false,
    "username": "uklawitter",
    "deletedAt": null,
    "car": 7
}

Example: Binder

$data = Dencoder::decode($this->getRequest()->getContent());
$user = $userRepository->find($data->id);
Binder::create()
    ->bind($data)
    ->to($user)
    ->fields("id", "isAdmin", "username", "deletedAt")
    ->field("car", function($carId) use ($user, $carRepository) {
        return $carRepository->find($carId);
    })
    ->execute();

Example: GetMethodBinder

$data = Dencoder::decode($this->getRequest()->getContent());
$user = $userRepository->find($data->id);
$this->container->get('getmethodbinder')
    ->bind($data)
    ->to($user)
    ->field("car", function($carId) use ($user, $carRepository) {
        return $carRepository->find($carId);
    })
    ->execute();

Example: DoctrineBinder

$data = Dencoder::decode($this->getRequest()->getContent());
$user = $userRepository->find($data->id);
$this->container->get('doctrinebinder')
    ->bind($data)
    ->to($user)
    ->execute();
