Consider that you have example.json
with the following content:
{
"firstName": "Temuri",
"lastName": "Takalandze",
"active": true,
"position": {
"title": "Developer",
"department": {
"title": "IT"
}
}
}
and several POPO classes to represent this JSON data:
Department.php
<?php
class Department
{
/**
* @var string
*/
private $title;
// Getters and Setters here...
}
Position.php
<?php
class Position
{
/**
* @var string
*/
private $title;
/**
* @var \ABGEO\POPO\Example\Department
*/
private $department;
// Getters and Setters here...
}
Person.php
<?php
class Person
{
/**
* @var string
*/
private $firstName;
/**
* @var string
*/
private $lastName;
/**
* @var bool
*/
private $active;
/**
* @var \ABGEO\POPO\Example\Position
*/
private $position;
// Getters and Setters here...
}
Now you want to convert this JSON to POPO with relations. My ABGEO/json-to-popo package gives you this ability. Install it using Composer:
composer require abgeo/json-to-popo
Now let's create new ABGEO\POPO\Composer
object and read example.json
content:
$composer = new Composer();
$jsonContent = file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/example.json');
Time for magic! Call composeObject()
with the contents of JSON and the main class, and this will give you POPO:
$resultObject = $composer->composeObject($jsonContent, Person::class);
Print $resultObject
:
var_dump($resultObject);
//class ABGEO\POPO\Example\Person#2 (4) {
// private $firstName =>
// string(6) "Temuri"
// private $lastName =>
// string(10) "Takalandze"
// private $active =>
// bool(true)
// private $position =>
// class ABGEO\POPO\Example\Position#4 (2) {
// private $title =>
// string(9) "Developer"
// private $department =>
// class ABGEO\POPO\Example\Department#7 (1) {
// private $title =>
// string(2) "IT"
// }
// }
//}
