Casting paginated responses to DTO

[boryn]

I have a response with 'data' key, where there are several items. Normally (without automatic pagination), I'm able to get the collection of DTOs based on these suggestions: #186 using just $response->dto().

Now, I wanted to have the automatic pagination (I use OffsetPaginator), so instead of

$response = $this->connector()->send($this->request);

I used:

$paginator = $this->connector()->paginate($this->request);

everything is properly configured, as I can run

foreach($paginator as $response) {
    $pageData = $response->json('data');
}

as well I may create a collection of individual "raw" items in response: $paginator->collect('data').

I wanted to create DTOs based on the combined paginator results, and tried $paginator->dto(), but got: "Call to undefined method OffsetPaginator::dto()"

I know, I can easily build the DTOs manually:

$dtos = $paginator->collect('data')->map(
    fn ($post) =>  PostDto::fromItem($post),
);

but it would be nice to have a "helper/shortcut" method dto() as with single responses which would use the same createDtoFromResponse() method and we could similarly use $paginator->dto().

Hey @boryn thank you for your message 🙌

That's a really great suggestion and I'll put it on my roadmap for future v2 development. The DTO method could simply be a wrapper around the existing iterator which calls dto :)

I'm going to close this for now but please feel free to open a discussion if you have any further ideas.

Is there any news on this?
