Description
The ObjectNormalizer only normalized public properties, but also converts getters into properties (whether there are relevant properties for the getter or not). Which is an issue when you have functions like isEqualTo. Usually you could use the PropertyNormalizer, but then we can't use the following constants:
ObjectNormalizer::SKIP_NULL_VALUES,
ObjectNormalizer::PRESERVE_EMPTY_OBJECTS,
And the ObjectNormalizer contains an option to use the PhpDocExtractor which is needed when using arrays of objects as properties.
I would love to have an option to configure the ObjectNormalizer to not use getters. The best way to use it would be with another context constant like ObjectNormalizer::IGNORE_GETTERS.
Example
Value object to serialize
final class Gender
{
public const GENDER_MALE = 'MALE';
public const GENDER_FEMALE = 'FEMALE';
public const GENDER_DIVERSE = 'DIVERSE';
public const GENDER_OPTIONS = [
self::GENDER_MALE,
self::GENDER_FEMALE,
self::GENDER_DIVERSE,
];
public string $gender;
public function __construct(string $gender)
{
$this->gender = $gender;
}
public function isEqualTo(self $gender): bool
{
return $this->gender === $gender->gender;
}
}
$serializer = new Serializer([
new ObjectNormalizer(),
],[
new JsonEncoder(),
]
);
$json = $serializer->serialize(
new Gender('MALE'),
JsonEncoder::FORMAT,
[ObjectNormalizer::IGNORE_GETTERS]
);
Json should be
{"gender":"MALE"}
and not
{"gender":"MALE","equalTo":false}
