Need a little help with migration from DTO to data. Regarding ArrayCaster

[ccsliinc]

This code is from Spatie\DataTransferObject.

I am trying to convert it to laravel-data. I cannot figure out the equivalent to ArrayCaster, as show below the json object as named arrays.

Any help would be appreciated.

class PurchaseOrderObject extends CastableDataTransferObject
{
    public ?int $order_number = 0;
    /** @var LineItem[] */
    #[CastWith(ArrayCaster::class, LineItem::class)]
    public ?array $line_items;
}

class LineItem extends CastableDataTransferObject
{
    public bool $checked;

    public ?Children $children;
    public ?Mapped $mapped;
}

class Children extends CastableDataTransferObject
{
    /** @var Skus[] */
    #[CastWith(ArrayCaster::class, Skus::class)]
    public ?array $skus = [];
}

{
  "line_items": {
    "35575": {
      "mapped": {
        "vendor_items": {
          "58851": {

          }
        }

Take a look at data collections and the DataCollectionOf attribute. Alternatively, you could implement an array cast like the dto package but then you would lose a lot of the data package functionality.

Thank you. I needed to do a little more research and then I figured it old.
