Methods

convertFrom()  : T|null
Convert an enum from $source to an enum.
getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Return a list of sub-properties inside the source object.
getTargetTypeForSource()  : string
Returns the type for a given source, depending on e.g. the __type setting or other properties.
getTypeOfChildProperty()  : string

Methods

convertFrom()

Convert an enum from $source to an enum.

public convertFrom(mixed $source, T> $targetType[, array<string|int, mixed> $convertedChildProperties = [] ][, PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface|null $configuration = null ]) : T|null
Parameters
$source : mixed
$targetType : T>
$convertedChildProperties : array<string|int, mixed> = []
$configuration : PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface|null = null
Internal

only to be used within Extbase, not part of TYPO3 Core API.

getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted()

Return a list of sub-properties inside the source object.

public getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted(mixed $source) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$source : mixed
Tags
todo

this method is only used for converter sources that have children (i.e. objects). Introduce another ChildPropertyAwareTypeConverterInterface and drop this method from the main interface

Returns an empty list of sub property names

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

getTargetTypeForSource()

Returns the type for a given source, depending on e.g. the __type setting or other properties.

public getTargetTypeForSource(mixed $source, string $originalTargetType[, PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface|null $configuration = null ]) : string
Parameters
$source : mixed

the source data

$originalTargetType : string

the type we originally want to convert to

$configuration : PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface|null = null
Tags
todo

The concept of this method is flawed because it enables the override of the target type depending on the structure of the source. So, technically we no longer convert type A to B but source of type A with structure X to type B defined by X. This makes a type converter non-deterministic.

Returns the $originalTargetType unchanged in this implementation.

Return values
string

getTypeOfChildProperty()

Return the type of a given sub-property inside the $targetType

public getTypeOfChildProperty(string $targetType, string $propertyName, PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration) : string
Parameters
$targetType : string
$propertyName : string
$configuration : PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface
Tags
todo

this method is only used for converter sources that have children (i.e. objects). Introduce another ChildPropertyAwareTypeConverterInterface and drop this method from the main interface

This method is never called, as getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted() returns an empty array.

Return values
string —

the type of $propertyName in $targetType

getEnumElement()

protected getEnumElement(float|int|string $source, T> $targetType) : T|null
Parameters
$source : float|int|string
$targetType : T>
