Example:

- 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.

Informations about the package populator
PHP Populator (Array-to-Object)
PHP Populator is a simple Array-To-Object library which transforms arrays into a given object with a few additions with Annotations.
This is not a deserializer. If you're looking for a serializer/deserializer, I advise you to use jms/serializer.
The simple goal of this library is to use a lightweight (still object oriented) solution to hydrate an object from a given array without the overkill of a full serializer.
Plus, behaviour can be easily modified (decoupled), and it's unit tested!

Installation
Installation with composer
The easiest way to use this library is to use Composer
Just add the following lines into your composer.json
And run
Setup
Basic setup
This library uses the PSR-0 autoloading mechanism, if you're using composer, there is nothing to do, the class should be autolaoded already.
In order to start using the populator, you just need to create an instance of it.
However if you're getting an error
[Semantical Error] The annotation "..." does not exist, or could not be auto-loaded.
You should add the following lines at the top of your application.
This allows doctrine to know how to import your annotations from its own autoloader.
And, that's it! You can already already start using the library. See Usage for more informations
Advanced setup
The populator is magically creating two instances in its constructor if none are given.
It needs an instance of HydratorInterface (Will hydrate the object on a given context) and an instance of HydratorContextFactoryInterface (Will create a context based on reflection of a given object)
To reproduce the default behaviour you can do something like this
Usage
Simple usage
Say with have a Foo class
Annotations
Along examples, we assume each protected property has its setter and its getter
@Populator\Ignore
This annotation skips the setting of the property
@Populator\Setter
This annotation allows property to define its own class' setter
@Populator\Alias
This annotation adds an alias to match on a property
@Populator\Aliases
This annotation sets and replaces aliases
@Populator\Deep
This annotations lets you have a deeper object
