hydrotron

Hydrotron aids in hydrating PHP objects

Installation

composer install mrkrstphr/hydrotron

Usage

When an array key exists, call one or more callbacks:

$hydro = new Hydrotron(['foo' => 'bar']);
$hydro->when('foo', $callback, [$object, 'method']);

When an array key exists, instantiate an object, and call a series of callbacks with that object:

$hydro = new Hydrotron(['foo' => 'bar', 'bizz' => 'buzz']);
$hydro->instantiateWhen('foo', MyClass::class, $callback);

instantiateWhen() uses Instantiator, which will analyze the classes constructor arguments and pass the values of any keys within the Hydrotron array that matches those argument names.

So if MyClass looked like:

class MyClass {
    public function __construct($foo, $bizz) {}
}

MyClass would be instantiated with $foo = 'bar' and $bizz = 'buzz'. If an argument name is not found within the array, null will be passed.
