CompositeNamingStrategy

Laminas\Hydrator\NamingStrategy\CompositeNamingStrategy allows you to specify which naming strategy should be used for each key encountered during hydration or extraction.

Basic Usage

When invoked, the following composite strategy will extract the property bar to the array key foo (using the MapNamingStrategy), and the property barBat to the array key bar_bat (using the UnderscoreNamingStrategy):

class Foo
{
    public $bar;
    public $barBat;
}

$mapStrategy = new Laminas\Hydrator\NamingStrategy\MapNamingStrategy([
    'foo' => 'bar'
]);

$underscoreNamingStrategy = new Laminas\Hydrator\NamingStrategy\UnderscoreNamingStrategy();

$namingStrategy = new Laminas\Hydrator\NamingStrategy\CompositeNamingStrategy([
    'bar' => $mapStrategy,
    'barBat' => $underscoreNamingStrategy,
]);

$hydrator = new Laminas\Hydrator\ObjectPropertyHydrator();
$hydrator->setNamingStrategy($namingStrategy);

$foo = new Foo();
$foo->bar = 123;
$foo->barBat = 42;

print_r($foo); // Foo Object ( [bar] => 123 [barBat] => 42 )
print_r($hydrator->extract($foo)); // Array ( [foo] => 123 [bar_bat] => 42 )

Unfortunately, the CompositeNamingStrategy can only be used for extraction as it will not know how to handle the keys necessary for hydration (foo and bar_bat, respectively). To rectify this we have to cover the keys for both hydration and extraction in our composite strategy:

class Foo
{
    public $bar;
    public $barBat;
}

$mapStrategy = new Laminas\Hydrator\NamingStrategy\MapNamingStrategy([
    'foo' => 'bar'
]);

$underscoreNamingStrategy = new Laminas\Hydrator\NamingStrategy\UnderscoreNamingStrategy();

$namingStrategy = new Laminas\Hydrator\NamingStrategy\CompositeNamingStrategy([
    // Define both directions for the foo => bar mapping
    'bar' => $mapStrategy,
    'foo' => $mapStrategy,
    // Define both directions for the barBat => bar_bat mapping
    'barBat' => $underscoreNamingStrategy,
    'bar_bat' => $underscoreNamingStrategy,
]);

$hydrator = new Laminas\Hydrator\ObjectPropertyHydrator();
$hydrator->setNamingStrategy($namingStrategy);

$foo = new Foo();
$foo->bar = 123;
$foo->barBat = 42;

$array = $hydrator->extract($foo);

print_r($foo); // Foo Object ( [bar] => 123 [barBat] => 42 )
print_r($array); // Array ( [foo] => 123 [bar_bat] => 42 )

$foo2 = new Foo();
$hydrator->hydrate($array, $foo2);

print_r($foo2); // Foo Object ( [bar] => 123 [barBat] => 42 )
