Simple DTOs

If you don't need to validate the data, you can use the SimpleDTO class instead of the ValidatedDTO class. The DTOs created with this class will not validate the data, but will still have all the other features of the ValidatedDTO class:

class SimpleUserDTO extends SimpleDTO
{
    public string $name;
    public string $email;
    public int $age;

    protected function defaults(): array
    {
        return [];
    }

    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'name' => new StringCast(),
            'email' => new StringCast(),
            'age' => new IntegerCast(),
        ];
    }

    protected function mapData(): array
    {
        return [
            'username' => 'name',
            'user_email' => 'email',
        ];
    }

    protected function mapToTransform(): array
    {
        return [
            'name' => 'customer_name',
            'email' => 'customer_email',
        ];
    }
}

To generate a SimpleDTO you can use the --simple flag:

php artisan make:dto SimpleUserDTO --simple
