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.

What is it?
php-simple-conversion is a minimalistic conversion service for PHP. It's meant to be performant and easy to use. It allows developers to register a series of converter classes that converts from one type to another. The converters are instantiated only when they are needed, minimizing memory use and avoiding unnecessary processing.
Installation
Composer:
This project is published in packagist, so you just need to add it as a dependency in your composer.json:
Or just download the release and include it in your path.
How to use it?
Define your converters
First of all, you have to define the converters you will use. As an example, supose you have two classes that represents a Person: one of them represents it in the format it is persisted in db, the other represents it as used in application's logic.
You need a service that abstracts the access to database from the logic, in that service you will use a converter to convert from the class returned from the DAO to the class used by the logic and return it. Following there is an example of the converter your service should use.
You can define all the converters you want and then register them.
Registering
In your bootstrap file (or some startup script) you must register all the converters you have defined.
Convert
Then you just need to inject the ConversionService to any class where you want to do conversions and call it as follows:
The library will automatically take care of resolving the registered service and calling it to convert your object to the desired one.
Converting from parent class
Optionally, you can tell the conversion service to search for a converter configured for a parent class. Supose you have a class B that inherits from class C, a converter from C to A, and you want to convert from B to A. This is possible by telling the converter to search for converters for parent classes:
Notes
Currently you can only set 'string', 'array' or a full class name as 'from' and 'to' parameters in the converter builder.
