The object mapping is more complex than what we can see when using arrays,
let it be object creation or accessing to virtual properties made up from
get/set methods (eg. getFoo() and setFoo() for a virtual foo property).
In order to make it more comfortable while doing various mapping operations, we will need to declare the way we want our mapping to be done.
Here comes the MappingDefinition sub-package. It is a set of data objects and
factories respectively for defining your object structure and building this
structure with reflection.
Here is the basic mapping factory:
Then, the factory can be used to generate your mapping definition.
<?php
use Kiboko\Component\FastMap\MappingIteration;
use Kiboko\Component\Metadata;
/** @var Metadata\ClassTypeMetadata $metadata */
$metadata = (new Metadata\ClassMetadataBuilder())->buildFromFQCN('Lorem\\Ipsum\\Dolor');
/** @var MappingIteration\MappedClassTypeFactory $mappingFactory */
$mappingDefinition = $mappingFactory($metadata);
