Warning

ARCHIVED

After many years of honorable service, we have decided to archive this repository.

It has been extremely useful in many projects, but the time has come to archive it because it no longer makes sense to continue using it.

This was the first library we ever created: the emotional weight is considerable, and the decision has been extremely difficult.

However, we realized that there is no longer any point in maintaining it.

A post will follow with all the details, alternatives, and instructions on how you can replace this library in your projects.

Current Status

Features

It supports SimpleValueObjects and ComplexValueObjects.

Complex value objects are hydrated passing an array. If a key of the array isn't recognized as property of the object it is added to the $otherData array so it isn't lost.

Some of those value objects support also the persistence in Doctrine providing custom mapping types (See below).

What are Value Objects

Value Objects are PHP objects that represent and manage simple or complex values. Once set, the value object cannot be modified without changing its identity.

Simple value objects represent a simple value, like an email. Complex value objects represent complex values, that, in order to really represent a value, need more than one value, like a price that needs an amount and a currency to be understandable and have a sense.

PHP supports only one value object: the DateTime object.

This library gives support for other kind of values, differentiating them between complex and simple.

To better understand the concepts behind the value objects, you can read this post.
