Populate

To populating your DTO with data, provide the constructor with an array or use the populate() method. Alternatively, you can also populate a DTO from a JSON string.

Via constructor

If you are extending the default DTO abstraction, then you can also pass in an array in the constructor.

$person = new Person([
    'name' => 'Carmen Rock',
    'age'  => 25
]);

Via populate()

$person->populate([
    'name' => 'Timmy Jones',
    'age'  => 32
]);

From JSON

See JSON section.
