Implement DTO

In order to implement the DTO, extend the Dto abstraction and inherit from your DTO interface (if you choose to use interfaces for your DTOs).

use Acme\Person as PersonInterface;
use Aedart\Dto\Dto;

class Person extends Dto implements PersonInterface
{
    protected ?string $name = '';
    
    protected ?int $age = 0;
 
    public function setName(?string $name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getName() : ?string
    {
        return $this->name;
    }

    public function setAge(?int $age)
    {
        $this->age = $age;
    }

    public function getAge() : ?int
    {
        return $this->age;
    }
}

Now you are ready to use the DTO. The upcoming sections will highlight some of the usage scenarios.
