Methods

convertFrom()  : mixed|Error
Convert from $source to $targetType, a noop if the source is an array.
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
Return the type of a given sub-property inside the $targetType
filterEmptyArrays()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Remove keys from an array if the key value is an empty array
getBackendUser()  : BackendUserAuthentication
getFormDefinitionConversionService()  : FormDefinitionConversionService
getFormDefinitionValidationService()  : FormDefinitionValidationService
retrieveSessionToken()  : string
transformMultiValueElementsForFormFramework()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Some data which is build by the form editor needs a transformation before it can be used by the framework.

Methods

convertFrom()

Convert from $source to $targetType, a noop if the source is an array.

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

If it is an empty string it will be converted to an empty array.

Parameters
$source : string
$targetType : string
$convertedChildProperties : array<string|int, mixed> = []
$configuration : PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface|null = null
Tags
throws
PropertyException
Return values
mixed|Error —

the target type, or an error object if a user-error occurred

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

filterEmptyArrays()

Remove keys from an array if the key value is an empty array

protected filterEmptyArrays(array<string|int, mixed> $array) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$array : array<string|int, mixed>
Tags
todo

ArrayUtility?

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

retrieveSessionToken()

protected retrieveSessionToken() : string
Return values
string

transformMultiValueElementsForFormFramework()

Some data which is build by the form editor needs a transformation before it can be used by the framework.

protected transformMultiValueElementsForFormFramework(array<string|int, mixed> $input) : array<string|int, mixed>

Multivalue elements like select elements produce data like:

[ _label => 'label' _value => 'value' ]

This method transforms this into:

[ 'value' => 'label' ]

Parameters
$input : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>
