Fix the issue #14
Issue Description
There was an issue with transforming nullable transformable properties (like DTO objects) when
null
values were provided. Instead of preserving thenull
value, the system was incorrectly creating an empty instance of the class.How to reproduce
Expected behavior
The
$purchaseDTO->discount
property should benull
since we providednull
in the input data and the property is nullable (?DiscountDTO
).Actual behavior
The system was creating an empty DiscountDTO object:
Fix
The issue was in the
PropertyTypeFactory::create()
method, where the wrong parameter was being passed to theTransformableType
constructor. The method was passing the$isScalar
flag instead of the$isNullable
flag, causing the nullable information to be lost during transformation.This PR fixes the issue by passing the correct
$isNullable
parameter to ensure that nullable properties remainnull
whennull
values are provided.Tests
Added a test condition to
ValueCastingTest
and new test cases toClassTransformerFromArrayTest
that verify:null
whennull
is provided
