Hydrators

ReflectionHydrator

The ReflectionHydrator is similar to the ObjectPropertyHydrator, however it uses PHP's reflection API to hydrate or extract properties of any visibility. Any data key matching an existing property will be hydrated. Any existing properties will be used for extracting data.

class User
{
    private $firstName;
    private $lastName;
    private $emailAddress;
    private $phoneNumber;
}

$data = [
    'first_name'    => 'James',
    'last_name'     => 'Kahn',
    'email_address' => 'james.kahn@example.org',
    'phone_number'  => '+61 419 1234 5678',
];

$hydrator = new Laminas\Hydrator\ReflectionHydrator();
$user     = $hydrator->hydrate($data, new User());
$data     = $hydrator->extract($user);
