mixed TYPO3 CMS Extbase Error Error	convertFrom ($source, string $targetType, array $convertedChildProperties=[], PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration=null)

Detailed Description

Type converter which provides sensible default implementations for most methods. If you extend this class you only need to implement convertFrom()

Member Function Documentation

getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted()

TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverter\AbstractTypeConverter::getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted

(

$source

)

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

Parameters

mixed

$source

Implements TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverterInterface.

Reimplemented in TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverter\PersistentObjectConverter, TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverter\ObjectConverter, and TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverter\ObjectStorageConverter.

getTargetTypeForSource()

TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverter\AbstractTypeConverter::getTargetTypeForSource	(		$source,
		string	$originalTargetType,
		PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface	$configuration = null
	)

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.

Parameters

mixed	$source	‪the source data
string	$originalTargetType	‪the type we originally want to convert to

Reimplemented in TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverter\ObjectConverter.

getTypeOfChildProperty()

TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverter\AbstractTypeConverter::getTypeOfChildProperty	(	string	$targetType,
		string	$propertyName,
		PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface	$configuration
	)

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.

Parameters

string	$targetType
string	$propertyName

Implements TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverterInterface.

Reimplemented in TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Property\TypeConverter\ObjectConverter.
