[Question] Is it possible to map objects with different property names without creating a custom transformer?

[ToshY]

Question

Does this mapper allow to map object to another object when the property names differ, without creating a custom transfomer?

Example (from docs)

src/Entity/Book.php

namespace App\Entity;

class Book
{
    public function __construct(
        private int $id,
        private string $title,
    ) {
    }

    public function getId(): ?int
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function getTitle(): ?string
    {
        return $this->title;
    }
}

src/Dto/BookDto.php

namespace App\Dto;

class BookDto
{
    public string $id;
    public string $name; // changed this to $name instead of $title
}

How would I map the Book::title to BookDto::name?

I was previously looking at thephpleague/object-mapper, which doesn't really suit fit my use case as it does not allow object-to-object mapping directly but I saw it uses attributes like #[MapFrom] which allows to allow for custom mapping between property names. I'm not sure if there's already something similar in this library, but maybe something similar would be nice to have (if not already).

Currently, it is possible to do that using #[AsPropertyMapper]. No, you don't have to create an entire transformer for that.

use Rekalogika\Mapper\Attribute\AsPropertyMapper;

class CustomMapper
{
    #[AsPropertyMapper(
        targetClass: BookDto::class,
        property: 'name',
    )]
    public function mapBookTitle(Book $book): string
    {
        return $book->getName();
    }
}

Docs: https://rekalogika.dev/mapper/object#custom-property-mapper

However, MapFrom (or a similar attribute) is in my to-do list.
