Hydrator for API Clients for PHP 7.x

In a nutshell this package is a wrapper around ocramius/generated-hydrator adding some annotations for nesting, collections, and renaming properties.

Install

To install via Composer, use the command below, it will automatically detect the latest version and bind it with ^.

composer require api-clients/hydrator

Preheating

In order to ensure the hydrator doesn't block the hydrator comes with a preheat method. Give it a the path of a namespace and the namespace it self, and it will create a hydrator for each resource it finds plus read the annotations for the given resource. This ensures all disk IO and heavy CPU operations have been completed before using the hydrator. When using the hydrator in async code the hydrator should, preferable, be created before running the loop.

Set up

Before using the Hydrator it has to be set up, note that using this method of setting up it will also preheat the hydrator.

$loop = LoopFactory::create();
$commandBus = new CommandBus(); // Implementation of ApiClients\Tools\CommandBus\CommandBusInterface
$options = []; // Options as described below
$hydrator = Factory::create($loop, $commandBus, $options);

Hydrating

The hydrator offers two methods of hydrating. The first is a method that accepts FQCN (Fully Qualified Class Name), for example ApiClients\Client\Github\Resource\Async\Emoji or Emoji::class for short, and the JSON holding the resource contents.

$resource = $hydrator->hydrateFQCN(Emoji::class, $json);

Or when you've configured Options::NAMESPACE, Options::NAMESPACE_SUFFIX you can do the same with the hydrate method, which internally uses hydrateFQCN:

$resource = $hydrator->hydrate('Emoji', $json);

Extracting

A resource can also be broken down again into JSON with the hydrator.

$json = $hydrator->extractFQCN(Emoji::class, $resource);

Same magic as the hydrate method applies to the extract method, this does exactly the same as extractFQCN when Options::NAMESPACE and Options::NAMESPACE_SUFFIX are configured.

$json = $hydrator->extract('Emoji', $resource);

Options

Options::ANNOTATIONS

Supply an array with extra annotations in the format key => annotation, value => handler.
