FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package type-converter
Apie type converter
Apie is a suite of composer packages to work with domain objects. It tries to aim to follow a Domain-objects-first approach and not a database first approach that you find in many PHP frameworks nowadays.
This type converter package is written outside the monorepo and provides a simple tooling to convert objects into other objects.
Usage
Easiest usage:
This is not a very useful example. Normally you try to convert a DTO to a domain object or the other way around.
More serious example:
Creating your own converters
It's very easy to create your own converters. All you need to do is make a class that implements ConverterInterface. In case you use phpstan for static code analysis a small phpdoc can be added to make phpstan understand the type conversion.
Customizing the TypeConverter
DefaultConvertsFactory creates an instance of TypeConverter with sensible defaults. You can configure everything by just calling the constructor. Remember that all default converters require to be added manually too.
Complex converters
In the example above we can convert a string value object to string, but how do we make it the other way around?
We could make a converter for every value object, but that would mean many similar classes.
Luckily we have a better solution by providing the wanted type as second argument.
It is also possible to get the TypeConverter instance to make recursive conversions.
Converter preference
If multiple converters could perform the conversion, then the most accurate one is the one that gets the priority.
If I would try to convert '1' IntToStringConverter and FloatToStringConverter would apply, but since int is more accurate it uses IntToStringConverter.
