Convert::toModel()

\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 );
