Requirements

• PHP 8.0+

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require yeremi/schema-mapper

Basic Usage

1. Define your data class with attributes:

use Yeremi\SchemaMapper\Attributes\ApiSchema;

class User
{
    #[ApiSchema(key: 'first_name')]
    private string $firstName;

    #[ApiSchema(key: 'last_name')]
    private string $lastName;

    #[ApiSchema(key: 'email')]
    private string $email;

    // Getters
    public function getFirstName(): string
    {
        return $this->firstName;
    }

    public function getLastName(): string
    {
        return $this->lastName;
    }

    public function getEmail(): string
    {
        return $this->email;
    }
}

1. Use the normalizer to map your data:

use Yeremi\SchemaMapper\Normalizer\NormalizerInterface;

class MyUseCase {
    public function __construct(
        NormalizerInterface $normalizer
    ) {}
    
    public function fetchSomeData(){
        $response = [
            'first_name' => 'John',
            'last_name' => 'Doe',
            'email' => 'john@example.com'
        ];

        $user = $this->normalizer->normalize($response, User::class);
        echo $user->getFirstName(); // Outputs: John
    }
}

Features

• Map API responses to PHP objects using attributes
• Support for nested objects
• Type validation
• Nullable properties support
• Dependency injection ready with interfaces

The library throws specific exceptions:

• TypeMismatchException: When the data type doesn't match the property type
• ReflectionException: When there are issues with class reflection
