Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require wendelladriel/laravel-validated-dto

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="validated-dto"

Usage

Create a DTO by extending ValidatedDTO, declaring typed properties, and defining the validation rules for incoming data:

use Illuminate\Validation\Rules\Password;
use WendellAdriel\ValidatedDTO\Casting\BooleanCast;
use WendellAdriel\ValidatedDTO\Casting\StringCast;
use WendellAdriel\ValidatedDTO\ValidatedDTO;

final class UserDTO extends ValidatedDTO
{
    public string $name;

    public string $email;

    public string $password;

    public bool $active;

    protected function rules(): array
    {
        return [
            'name' => ['required', 'string'],
            'email' => ['required', 'email'],
            'password' => ['required', Password::min(8)],
            'active' => ['sometimes', 'boolean'],
        ];
    }

    protected function defaults(): array
    {
        return [
            'active' => true,
        ];
    }

    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'name' => new StringCast(),
            'email' => new StringCast(),
            'password' => new StringCast(),
            'active' => new BooleanCast(),
        ];
    }
}

Create an instance from an array, request, JSON string, Eloquent model, or artisan command:

$dto = UserDTO::fromArray([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => 'john.doe@example.com',
    'password' => 's3CreT!@1a2B',
]);

$dto->name; // John Doe
$dto->toArray();

You can also inject a DTO into a controller action and let the service container resolve it from the current request:

use Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse;

final class StoreUserController
{
    public function __invoke(UserDTO $dto): JsonResponse
    {
        return response()->json($dto->toArray());
    }
}
