Accessing DTO Data

After you create your DTO instance, you can access any properties like an object:

$dto = new UserDTO([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => '[e-mail]',
    'password' => 's3CreT!@1a2B'
]);

$dto->name; // 'John Doe'
$dto->email; // '[e-mail]'
$dto->password; // 's3CreT!@1a2B'

If you pass properties that are not listed in the rules method of your DTO, this data will be ignored and won't be available in your DTO:

$dto = new UserDTO([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => '[e-mail]',
    'password' => 's3CreT!@1a2B',
    'username' => 'john_doe', 
]);

$dto->username; // THIS WON'T BE AVAILABLE IN YOUR DTO
