cakephp-dto

RC for CakePHP 4

• Using new cakephp/twig plugin.

CakePHP 4 compatible pre-release.

Please help to finalize for stable release.

Improvements

Defining a singular automatically sets collection to true.

Improvement

Add read() nullable path reading as convenience wrapper to make this similar to Entity ReadTrait usage.

Bugfixes

Fixed toArray() for empty collections to be not null but [].

Bugfixes

Fixed auto-detect of PHP7.1+

Improvements

Associative arrays can now be string|int. Usually, assoc always means string keys.
But in some cases, integer could also be OK, e.g. when using primary keys as key.
PHPStan etc should not report an error here then, as such the strict string typehint has been removed for $key.

Improvements

Union type support added

    <field name="service" type="string|int|float"/>

or even

    <field name="service" type="string[]|int[]"/>

is possible now

Bugfixes

• Disallow set() and property write access for immutable DTOs.
• Provide with() for immutable DTOs.

Improvements

• Removed ArrayAccess
• Instead added property access and get(), set(), has() convenience methods

Improvements

Allow fromArray() to auto-add keys for associative arrays if that "key" exists in the incoming data.

Bugfixes

Fix toArray()/fromArray() for array collections.

Improvements

Added namespaced DTOs.
This way you can have multiple of the same name, as long as they are under different subfolders and not used together or aliased.

Bugfixes

Fix mixed type for fields.

Improvements

Default values auto-require the field now (not nullable) unless specified differently.

Initial Release

You can try out this package now as stable one.
Please give some feedback or provide ideas for improvement, either as issue or PR.
