DTO

v1.1.0

Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) provide a clean way to move validated data across your application.

Instead of passing Request objects into Services, generated domains use strongly typed DTOs.

---

Why DTOs?

• Separate HTTP from business logic
• Strong typing
• Cleaner Services
• Easier testing

---

Generated DTO

Example:

class UserDTO extends AbstractDTO
{
    public function __construct(
        public readonly string $nome,
        public readonly string $email,
        public readonly bool $ativo
    ) {}
}

---

Creating from Request

$dto = UserDTO::fromRequest($request);

This extracts validated values automatically.

---

Passing to Service

$this->service->create($dto);

---

Converting to Array

$dto->toArray();

Output:

[
    'nome' => 'John',
    'email' => 'john@example.com',
    'ativo' => true
]

Generated Services are designed to receive DTOs instead of Request objects.
