DTO objects. > As for stdClass, PHP has already a syntax: $baz = "baz"; $obj = (object) [ "foo" => "bar", $baz => true ]; For other type of objects, that could be done with a simple helper function $customer = object_assign(new Customer, [ "id" => 123, "name" => "John Doe", ]); where: function object_assign(object $obj, iterable $data): object { foreach ($data as $key => $value) { $obj->$key = $value; } return $obj; } That said, I generally use arrays rather than DTO objects or such, so that I can’t speak from experience. —Claude
