AbstractTypeConverter implements TypeConverterInterface, SingletonInterface
Type converter which provides sensible default implementations for most methods. If you extend this class you only need to do the following: - set $sourceTypes - set $targetType - set $priority - implement convertFrom()
Table of Contents
Interfaces
- TypeConverterInterface
 - Interface for type converters, which can convert from a simple type to an object or another simple type.
 - SingletonInterface
 - "empty" interface for singletons (marker interface pattern)
 
Properties
- $objectManager : ObjectManagerInterface
 - $priority : int
 - The priority for this converter.
 - $sourceTypes : array<string|int, string>
 - The source types this converter can convert.
 - $targetType : string
 - The target type this converter can convert to.
 
Methods
- canConvertFrom() : bool
 - todo: this method should be abstract or removed, contract is defined by TypeConverterInterface.
 - getPriority() : int
 - Return the priority of this TypeConverter. TypeConverters with a high priority are chosen before low priority.
 - getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted() : array<string|int, mixed>
 - todo: this method should be abstract or removed, contract is defined by TypeConverterInterface.
 - getSupportedSourceTypes() : array<string|int, string>
 - Returns the list of source types the TypeConverter can handle.
 - getSupportedTargetType() : string
 - Return the target type this TypeConverter converts to.
 - getTargetTypeForSource() : string
 - Returns the $originalTargetType unchanged in this implementation.
 - getTypeOfChildProperty() : string
 - todo: this method should be abstract or removed, contract is defined by TypeConverterInterface.
 - injectObjectManager() : void

Methods
canConvertFrom()
todo: this method should be abstract or removed, contract is defined by TypeConverterInterface.
    public
                    canConvertFrom(mixed $source, string $targetType) : bool
    This implementation always returns TRUE for this method.
Parameters
- $source : mixed
 - 
                    
the source data
 - $targetType : string
 - 
                    
the type to convert to.
 
Return values
bool —TRUE if this TypeConverter can convert from $source to $targetType, FALSE otherwise.
getPriority()
Return the priority of this TypeConverter. TypeConverters with a high priority are chosen before low priority.
    public
                    getPriority() : int
    Return values
intgetSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted()
todo: this method should be abstract or removed, contract is defined by TypeConverterInterface.
    public
                    getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted(mixed $source) : array<string|int, mixed>
    Returns an empty list of sub property names
Parameters
- $source : mixed
 
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>getSupportedSourceTypes()
Returns the list of source types the TypeConverter can handle.
    public
                    getSupportedSourceTypes() : array<string|int, string>
    Must be PHP simple types, classes or object is not allowed.
Return values
array<string|int, string>getSupportedTargetType()
Return the target type this TypeConverter converts to.
    public
                    getSupportedTargetType() : string
    Can be a simple type or a class name.
Return values
stringgetTargetTypeForSource()
Returns the $originalTargetType unchanged in this implementation.
    public
                    getTargetTypeForSource(mixed $source, string $originalTargetType[, PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration = null ]) : string
    Parameters
- $source : mixed
 - 
                    
the source data
 - $originalTargetType : string
 - 
                    
the type we originally want to convert to
 - $configuration : PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface = null
 
Return values
stringgetTypeOfChildProperty()
todo: this method should be abstract or removed, contract is defined by TypeConverterInterface.
    public
                    getTypeOfChildProperty(string $targetType, string $propertyName, PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration) : string
    This method is never called, as getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted() returns an empty array.
Parameters
- $targetType : string
 - $propertyName : string
 - $configuration : PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface
 
Return values
stringinjectObjectManager()
    public
                    injectObjectManager(ObjectManagerInterface $objectManager) : void
    since v11, will be removed in v12
Parameters
- $objectManager : ObjectManagerInterface
