Notable changes

Improvement of union types narrowing

The algorithm used by the mapper to narrow a union type has been greatly improved, and should cover more edge-cases that would previously prevent the mapper from performing well.

If an interface, a class or a shaped array is matched by the input, it will take precedence over arrays or scalars.

(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
    ->mapper()
    ->map(
        signature: 'array<int>|' . Color::class,
        source: [
            'red' => 255,
            'green' => 128,
            'blue' => 64,
        ],
    ); // Returns an instance of `Color`

When superfluous keys are allowed, if the input matches several interfaces, classes or shaped array, the one with the most children node will be prioritized, as it is considered the most specific type:

(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
    ->allowSuperfluousKeys()
    ->mapper()
    ->map(
        // Even if the first shaped array matches the input, the second one is
        // used because it's more specific.
        signature: 'array{foo: int}|array{foo: int, bar: int}',
        source: [
            'foo' => 42,
            'bar' => 1337,
        ],
    );

If the input matches several types within the union, a collision will occur and cause the mapper to fail:

(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
    ->mapper()
    ->map(
        // Even if the first shaped array matches the input, the second one is
        // used because it's more specific.
        signature: 'array{red: int, green: int, blue: int}|' . Color::class,
        source: [
            'red' => 255,
            'green' => 128,
            'blue' => 64,
        ],
    );

// ⚠️ Invalid value array{red: 255, green: 128, blue: 64}, it matches at
//    least two types from union.

Introducing AsTransformer attribute

After the introduction of the Constructor attribute used for the mapper, the new AsTransformer attribute is now available for the normalizer to ease the registration of a transformer.

namespace My\App;

#[\CuyZ\Valinor\Normalizer\AsTransformer]
#[\Attribute(\Attribute::TARGET_PROPERTY)]
final class DateTimeFormat
{
    public function __construct(private string $format) {}

    public function normalize(\DateTimeInterface $date): string
    {
        return $date->format($this->format);
    }
}

final readonly class Event
{
    public function __construct(
        public string $eventName,
        #[\My\App\DateTimeFormat('Y/m/d')]
        public \DateTimeInterface $date,
    ) {}
}

(new \CuyZ\Valinor\MapperBuilder())
    ->normalizer(\CuyZ\Valinor\Normalizer\Format::array())
    ->normalize(new \My\App\Event(
        eventName: 'Release of legendary album',
        date: new \DateTimeImmutable('1971-11-08'),
    ));

// [
//     'eventName' => 'Release of legendary album',
//     'date' => '1971/11/08',
// ]
