Changelog 0.17.0 — 8th of November 2022

See release on GitHub

Notable changes

The main feature introduced in this release is the split of the flexible mode in three distinct modes:

  1. The flexible casting

Changes the behaviours explained below:

$flexibleMapper = (new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
    ->enableFlexibleCasting()
    ->mapper();

// ---
// Scalar types will accept non-strict values; for instance an
// integer type will accept any valid numeric value like the
// *string* "42".

$flexibleMapper->map('int', '42');
// => 42

// ---
// List type will accept non-incremental keys.

$flexibleMapper->map('list<int>', ['foo' => 42, 'bar' => 1337]);
// => [0 => 42, 1 => 1338]

// ---
// If a value is missing in a source for a node that accepts `null`,
// the node will be filled with `null`.

$flexibleMapper->map(
    'array{foo: string, bar: null|string}',
    ['foo' => 'foo'] // `bar` is missing
);
// => ['foo' => 'foo', 'bar' => null]

// ---
// Array and list types will convert `null` or missing values to an
// empty array.

$flexibleMapper->map(
    'array{foo: string, bar: array<string>}',
    ['foo' => 'foo'] // `bar` is missing
);
// => ['foo' => 'foo', 'bar' => []]
  1. The superfluous keys

Superfluous keys in source arrays will be allowed, preventing errors when a value is not bound to any object property/parameter or shaped array element.

(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
    ->allowSuperfluousKeys()
    ->mapper()
    ->map(
        'array{foo: string, bar: int}',
        [
            'foo' => 'foo',
            'bar' => 42,
            'baz' => 1337.404, // `baz` will be ignored
        ]
    );
  1. The permissive types

Allows permissive types mixed and object to be used during mapping.

(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
    ->allowPermissiveTypes()
    ->mapper()
    ->map(
        'array{foo: string, bar: mixed}',
        [
            'foo' => 'foo',
            'bar' => 42, // Could be any value
        ]
    );

Features
