A set of PHP Value Objects to manage composite values
MIT License
It supports SimpleValueObjects
and ComplexValueObjects
.
Complex value objects are hydrated passing an array. If a key of the array isn't recognized as property of the object it
is added to the $otherData
array so it isn't lost.
Some of those value objects support also the persistence in Doctrine providing custom mapping types (See below).
Value Objects are PHP objects
that represent and manage simple
or complex values. Once set, the value object cannot be modified without changing its identity.
Simple value objects represent a simple value, like an email. Complex value objects represent complex values, that, in order to really represent a value, need more than one value, like a price that needs an amount and a currency to be understandable and have a sense.
PHP supports only one value object: the DateTime
object.
This library gives support for other kind of values, differentiating them between complex and simple.
To better understand the concepts behind the value objects, you can read this post.
