I haven’t actually written the code for it, but it should not be too difficult. Now, I agree that it is often not possible to use PDO::FETCH_CLASS because DB column names are typically snake case and variables and properties are camel case. IMHO, passing arguments to the constructor in order is a good approach, but I think another option would be to give attributes to properties and map data appropriately when using PDO::FETCH_CLASS. e.g. ``` #[ColumnName('user_name')] private string $userName; ``` In addition to the concerns mentioned in the pull request, I'm also concerned that more modes with similar functionality will confuse users.
