Dto Handler Bundle Laravel Package

Bug fix:

• Relax ext-json version requirement to allow php 7.4 compatibility (ext-json versionning strategy changed to follow php version, so ext-json went from 1.5 to 7.4)

New feature:

• Added a new parameter to the DtoUtility::updateEntityList() function. It allows to give the list of properties on which the comparison of the entities is made.

Bug fix:

• Fix the top level DTO validation again. Encapsulate the DataTransferObjectParamConverter request into cloned request to avoid working on original request.

Bug fix:

• Fix the top level DTO validation, where it previously validated all sub DTO instead of validating the top level DTO and let the validator cascading on the properties.

New feature:

• The DTO handler can now also bind data from a json file in a multipart/form-data request. It now loads the content with the following priority: Request > File > Attributes > Query. The json file in the body is identified by the mime type application/json or text/json. The DTO handler will also remove these files from the Request object to leave you with only the other files in your multipart body (such as uploaded images).

Bug fix:

• Fix unintended breaking change introduced in the previous release.

Bug fix:

• Don't treat null as a valid value when converting a value to an entity.

Bug fix:

• Handles the exception returned by the manager during the conversion, and transforms it into violations.

Bug fix:

• Fix default values in the bundle configuration definition.

New features:

• The ability to set validation groups linked to an HTTP status code (doc).
• Add raw input data validation using the dto_raw_input_validation validation group (doc).
• Add the Field annotation (doc).
• Add the utility to bind an array to a DTO using the ParamConverter (doc).

Bug fix:

• The [@Assert](https://github.com/Assert)\DateTime and [@Assert](https://github.com/Assert)\Date will now transform the property type in DateTime if no type is set.
• You can now add a type to bypass the exception thrown by a ParamConverter. Check the documentation.

Behaviour Change:

• The DTO handler can now also bind data from the cookie of the Request. It now uses the following priority: Request > Attributes > Query > Cookies.

New features:

• The DTO handler can now also bind data from the attributes and query of the Request object. It loads the content with the following priority: Request > Attributes > Query.

New features:

• Add a static function to update the Collection of entities with an input array.
• Changing the except option for the UniqueEntityData constraint to support the Expression language.
• In case of violations from the ParamConverter, the returned value is directly an array of violations instead of a message with the violations formatted in JSON.
• It is possible to use the tag app.data_transfer_object to declare DTO instead of using the [@DTO](https://github.com/DTO) annotation.

Breaking changes:

• By changing the except option for the UniqueEntityData constraint, it is now mandatory to use this to target a property withing the DTO (e.g. this.targetEntity).
• In case of violations, the returned value changed from a message with a JSON encoded string to an array of violations.

Bug fixes:

• Validates only the top level Data Transfer Object (DTO), not the nested DTO.
• Fix the creation of a collection of a DTO.
• Fix the UniqueEntityClass service when no EntityManager is configured.

Features:

• Add ParamConverter for Data Transfer Objects (DTO) that automatically sets the DTO fields based on the request content.
• Add UniqueEntityData validator designed for DTO.
