\nn\t3::Convert()->toArray($obj = NULL, $depth = 3); 

Converts a model into an array Alias to nnt3::Obj()->toArray();

For memory problems due to recursion: Specify max depth!

\nn\t3::Convert($model)->toArray(2);
\nn\t3::Convert($model)->toArray(); => ['uid'=>1, 'title'=>'Example', ...]

| @return array

\nn\t3::Convert()->toBytes(); 

Converts a human-readable specification of bytes/megabytes into a byte integer. Extremely tolerant when it comes to spaces, upper/lower case and commas instead of periods.

\nn\t3::Convert('1M')->toBytes(); // -> 1048576
\nn\t3::Convert('1 MB')->toBytes(); // -> 1048576
\nn\t3::Convert('1kb')->toBytes(); // -> 1024
\nn\t3::Convert('1.5kb')->toBytes(); // -> 1024
\nn\t3::Convert('1.5Gb')->toBytes(); // -> 1610612736

For the reverse path (bytes to human-readable notation such as 1024 -> 1kb) there is a practical there is a practical Fluid ViewHelper in the core:

{fileSize->f:format.bytes()}

\nn\t3::Convert()->toFileReference(); 

Converts a \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\FileReference (or its uid) to a \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference

\nn\t3::Convert( $input )->toFileReference() => \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference

\nn\t3::Convert()->toIso(); 

Converts (normalizes) a string to ISO-8859-1

\nn\t3::Convert('ÖÜÜ')->toIso();

| @return string

\nn\t3::Convert()->toJson($obj = NULL, $depth = 3); 

Converts a model into a JSON

\nn\t3::Convert($model)->toJson() => ['uid'=>1, 'title'=>'Example', ...]

| @return array

\nn\t3::Convert()->toLanguage($sysLanguageUid = NULL); 

Converts a language ID (e.g. '0', '1') into the two-character language abbreviation (e.g. 'de', 'en')

// Language ID 0 -> 'de'
\nn\t3::Convert(0)->toLanguage();

| ➜ Go to source code of Convert::toLanguage()

\nn\t3::Convert()->toLanguageId($languageCode = NULL); 

Converts a two-character language abbreviation (e.g. 'de', 'en') into the language ID (e.g. '0', '1')

// Language ID 0 -> 'de'
\nn\t3::Convert('de')->toLanguageId();

\nn\t3::Convert()->toModel($className = NULL, $parentModel = NULL); 

Converts an array into a model.

\nn\t3::Convert($array)->toModel( \Nng\Model\Name::class ) => \Nng\Model\Name

Can also automatically generate FileReferences. In this example, a new model of the type \Nng\Model\Name is created and then then persisted in the database. The falMedia field is an ObjectStorage with FileReferences. The FileReferences are created automatically!

$data = [
    'pid' => 6,
    'title' => 'New data record',
    'description' => 'The text',
    'falMedia' => [
        ['title'=>'Image 1', 'publicUrl'=>'fileadmin/_tests/5e505e6b6143a.jpg'],
        ['title'=>'Image 2', 'publicUrl'=>'fileadmin/_tests/5e505fbf5d3dd.jpg'],
        ['title'=>'Image 3', 'publicUrl'=>'fileadmin/_tests/5e505f435061e.jpg'],
    ]
];
$newModel = \nn\t3::Convert( $data )->toModel( \Nng\Model\Name::class );
$modelRepository->add( $newModel );
\nn\t3::Db()->persistAll();

Example: Create a news model from an array:

$entry = [
    'pid' => 12,
    'title' => 'News title',
    'description' =>'My news',
    'falMedia' => [['publicUrl' => 'fileadmin/image.jpg', 'title'=>'Image'], ...],
    'categories' => [1, 2]
];
$model = \nn\t3::Convert( $entry )->toModel( \GeorgRinger\News\Domain\Model\News::class );
$newsRepository->add( $model );
\nn\t3::Db()->persistAll();

Hint To update an existing model with data from an array, there is the method there is the method $updatedModel = \nn\t3::Obj( $prevModel )->merge( $data );

\nn\t3::Convert()->toObjectStorage([['uid'=>1], ['uid'=>2], ...], \My\Child\Type::class )
