Description
When using the Serializer with the GetSetMethodNormalizer, it could be important that, on deserialize/denormalize, if the setters have type hint of the argument that the value could be converted to it.
A simple approach (do not mind the naming convention) would be to replace
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/Serializer/Normalizer/GetSetMethodNormalizer.php#L64-L66, which reads:
if (in_array($setter, $classMethods) && !$reflectionClass->getMethod($setter)->isStatic()) {
$object->$setter($value);
}With something like:
if (in_array($setter, $classMethods) && !$reflectionClass->getMethod($setter)->isStatic()) {
$parameters = $reflectionClass->getMethod($setter)->getParameters();
$typeHint = $parameters[0]->getClass();
if ($typeHint && class_exists($typeHint->name) && !$value instanceof $typeHint->name) {
$typeHintedClassName = $typeHinted->name;
$value = new $typeHintedClassName($value);
}
$object->$setter($value);
}
