abstract class AbstractTypeConverter implements TypeConverterInterface (View source)

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()

Properties

protected string[] $sourceTypes

The source types this converter can convert.

protected string $targetType

The target type this converter can convert to.

protected int $priority

The priority for this converter.

Methods

string[]
getSupportedSourceTypes()

Returns the list of source types the TypeConverter can handle.

string
getSupportedTargetType()

Return the target type this TypeConverter converts to.

string
getTargetTypeForSource(mixed $source, string $originalTargetType, PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration = null)

Returns the $originalTargetType unchanged in this implementation.

int
getPriority()

Return the priority of this TypeConverter. TypeConverters with a high priority are chosen before low priority.

bool
canConvertFrom(mixed $source, string $targetType)

This implementation always returns true for this method.

array
getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted(mixed $source)

Returns an empty list of sub property names

string|null
getTypeOfChildProperty(string $targetType, string $propertyName, PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration)

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

Details

string[] getSupportedSourceTypes()

Returns the list of source types the TypeConverter can handle.

Must be PHP simple types, classes or object is not allowed.

Return Value

string[]

string getSupportedTargetType()

Return the target type this TypeConverter converts to.

Can be a simple type or a class name.

Return Value

string

string getTargetTypeForSource(mixed $source, string $originalTargetType, PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration = null)

Returns the $originalTargetType unchanged in this implementation.

Parameters

mixed $source

the source data

string $originalTargetType

the type we originally want to convert to

PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration

Return Value

string

int getPriority()

Return the priority of this TypeConverter. TypeConverters with a high priority are chosen before low priority.

Return Value

int

bool canConvertFrom(mixed $source, string $targetType)

This implementation always returns true for this method.

Parameters

mixed $source

the source data

string $targetType

the type to convert to.

Return Value

bool

true if this TypeConverter can convert from $source to $targetType, false otherwise.

array getSourceChildPropertiesToBeConverted(mixed $source)

Returns an empty list of sub property names

Parameters

mixed $source

Return Value

array

string|null getTypeOfChildProperty(string $targetType, string $propertyName, PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration)

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

Parameters

string $targetType
string $propertyName
PropertyMappingConfigurationInterface $configuration

Return Value

string|null

the type of $propertyName in $targetType
