Features

• Required fields must be present on the output object, or normalize throws an exception.
• Optional fields are added to the output object, if present.
• Default values can be supplied for fields.
• Aliases allow you to map field names on the input object to field names on the output object.
• Modifier callables alter the values for fields.
• Finalizer callable allows an additional modification after the object is normalized

Example

<?php

use AmericanReading\ObjectNormalizer\ObjectNormalizer;

// Begin with an array or object that contains fields we don't want and fields
// with the wrong names.
$input = [
    "id" => 12852,
    "show" => "Bob's Burger",
    "character" => "Gene Belcher",
    "favoriteColor" => "blue"
];

// Create a normalizer.
$normalizer = new ObjectNormalizer();

// Provide the names of the fields the final object should contain.
$normalizer->setRequiredFields(["name", "series")

// List other names for a field that may appear on the input object.
$normalizer->setAlias("name", ["character", "person"])

// Normalize using the settings provided above.
$output = $normalizer->normalize($input);

print_r($output);
