README

This adds the DefaultViewModel attribute into the system and a Symfony Serializer normalizer that automatically transforms entities into their designated ViewModels during serialization.

✨ Features

• Attribute-based Configuration: Use #[DefaultViewModel] to specify ViewModels
• SerializedName Support: Full support for #[SerializedName('alias')] attributes
• Nested Object Handling: Automatic handling of nested ViewModels
• Collection Support: Transform arrays/collections of objects
• 100% Test Coverage: Comprehensive PHPUnit + Behat test coverage
• CI/CD Ready: Complete GitHub Actions workflows

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

composer require gryfoss/mvc-vm-normalizer

Configuration

Configure the normalizer in your services.yaml:

  GryfOSS\Mvc\Normalizer\DefaultViewModelNormalizer:
    tags:
      - { name: serializer.normalizer, priority: 100 }

Basic Usage

1. Add the attribute to your entities:

#[DefaultViewModel(viewModelClass: UserViewModel::class)]
class User implements NormalizableInterface
{
    public function __construct(
        private string $firstName,
        private string $lastName,
        private int $age
    ) {}

    // getters...
}

1. Create your ViewModel:

class UserViewModel implements ViewModelInterface
{
    public function __construct(private User $user) {}

    #[SerializedName('n')]
    public function getName(): string
    {
        return $this->user->getFirstName() . ' ' . $this->user->getLastName();
    }

    #[SerializedName('a')]
    public function getAge(): int
    {
        return $this->user->getAge();
    }
}

Result:

{
  "n": "John Doe",
  "a": 30
}
