+# DeepCopy

+## How?
+
+Install with Composer:
+
+```
+composer require myclabs/deep-copy
+```
+
+Use it:
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+
+$copier = new DeepCopy();
+$myCopy = $copier->copy($myObject);
+```
+
+
+## Why?
+
+- How do you create copies of your objects?
+
+```php
+$myCopy = clone $myObject;
+```
+
+- How do you create **deep** copies of your objects (i.e. copying also all the objects referenced in the properties)?
+
+You use [`__clone()`](http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.cloning.php#object.clone) and implement the behavior
+yourself.
+
+- But how do you handle **cycles** in the association graph?
+
+Now you're in for a big mess :(

+
+
+## How it works
+
+DeepCopy recursively traverses all the object's properties and clones them. To avoid cloning the same object twice it
+keeps a hash map of all instances and thus preserves the object graph.
+
+To use it:
+
+```php
+use function DeepCopy\deep_copy;
+
+$copy = deep_copy($var);
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can create your own `DeepCopy` instance to configure it differently for example:
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+
+$copier = new DeepCopy(true);
+
+$copy = $copier->copy($var);
+```
+
+You may want to roll your own deep copy function:
+
+```php
+namespace Acme;
+
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+
+function deep_copy($var)
+{
+ static $copier = null;
+
+ if (null === $copier) {
+ $copier = new DeepCopy(true);
+ }
+
+ return $copier->copy($var);
+}
+```
+
+
+## Going further
+
+You can add filters to customize the copy process.
+
+The method to add a filter is `DeepCopy\DeepCopy::addFilter($filter, $matcher)`,
+with `$filter` implementing `DeepCopy\Filter\Filter`
+and `$matcher` implementing `DeepCopy\Matcher\Matcher`.
+
+We provide some generic filters and matchers.
+
+
+### Matchers
+
+ - `DeepCopy\Matcher` applies on a object attribute.
+ - `DeepCopy\TypeMatcher` applies on any element found in graph, including array elements.
+
+
+#### Property name
+
+The `PropertyNameMatcher` will match a property by its name:
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\Matcher\PropertyNameMatcher;
+
+// Will apply a filter to any property of any objects named "id"
+$matcher = new PropertyNameMatcher('id');
+```
+
+
+#### Specific property
+
+The `PropertyMatcher` will match a specific property of a specific class:
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\Matcher\PropertyMatcher;
+
+// Will apply a filter to the property "id" of any objects of the class "MyClass"
+$matcher = new PropertyMatcher('MyClass', 'id');
+```
+
+
+#### Type
+
+The `TypeMatcher` will match any element by its type (instance of a class or any value that could be parameter of
+[gettype()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.gettype.php) function):
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\TypeMatcher\TypeMatcher;
+
+// Will apply a filter to any object that is an instance of Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection
+$matcher = new TypeMatcher('Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection');
+```
+
+
+### Filters
+
+- `DeepCopy\Filter` applies a transformation to the object attribute matched by `DeepCopy\Matcher`
+- `DeepCopy\TypeFilter` applies a transformation to any element matched by `DeepCopy\TypeMatcher`
+
+
+#### `SetNullFilter` (filter)
+
+Let's say for example that you are copying a database record (or a Doctrine entity), so you want the copy not to have
+any ID:
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+use DeepCopy\Filter\SetNullFilter;
+use DeepCopy\Matcher\PropertyNameMatcher;
+
+$object = MyClass::load(123);
+echo $object->id; // 123
+
+$copier = new DeepCopy();
+$copier->addFilter(new SetNullFilter(), new PropertyNameMatcher('id'));
+
+$copy = $copier->copy($object);
+
+echo $copy->id; // null
+```
+
+
+#### `KeepFilter` (filter)
+
+If you want a property to remain untouched (for example, an association to an object):
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+use DeepCopy\Filter\KeepFilter;
+use DeepCopy\Matcher\PropertyMatcher;
+
+$copier = new DeepCopy();
+$copier->addFilter(new KeepFilter(), new PropertyMatcher('MyClass', 'category'));
+
+$copy = $copier->copy($object);
+// $copy->category has not been touched
+```
+
+
+#### `DoctrineCollectionFilter` (filter)
+
+If you use Doctrine and want to copy an entity, you will need to use the `DoctrineCollectionFilter`:
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+use DeepCopy\Filter\Doctrine\DoctrineCollectionFilter;
+use DeepCopy\Matcher\PropertyTypeMatcher;
+
+$copier = new DeepCopy();
+$copier->addFilter(new DoctrineCollectionFilter(), new PropertyTypeMatcher('Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection'));
+
+$copy = $copier->copy($object);
+```
+
+
+#### `DoctrineEmptyCollectionFilter` (filter)
+
+If you use Doctrine and want to copy an entity who contains a `Collection` that you want to be reset, you can use the
+`DoctrineEmptyCollectionFilter`
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+use DeepCopy\Filter\Doctrine\DoctrineEmptyCollectionFilter;
+use DeepCopy\Matcher\PropertyMatcher;
+
+$copier = new DeepCopy();
+$copier->addFilter(new DoctrineEmptyCollectionFilter(), new PropertyMatcher('MyClass', 'myProperty'));
+
+$copy = $copier->copy($object);
+
+// $copy->myProperty will return an empty collection
+```
+
+
+#### `DoctrineProxyFilter` (filter)
+
+If you use Doctrine and use cloning on lazy loaded entities, you might encounter errors mentioning missing fields on a
+Doctrine proxy class (...\\\_\_CG\_\_\Proxy).
+You can use the `DoctrineProxyFilter` to load the actual entity behind the Doctrine proxy class.
+**Make sure, though, to put this as one of your very first filters in the filter chain so that the entity is loaded
+before other filters are applied!**
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+use DeepCopy\Filter\Doctrine\DoctrineProxyFilter;
+use DeepCopy\Matcher\Doctrine\DoctrineProxyMatcher;
+
+$copier = new DeepCopy();
+$copier->addFilter(new DoctrineProxyFilter(), new DoctrineProxyMatcher());
+
+$copy = $copier->copy($object);
+
+// $copy should now contain a clone of all entities, including those that were not yet fully loaded.
+```
+
+
+#### `ReplaceFilter` (type filter)
+
+1. If you want to replace the value of a property:
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+use DeepCopy\Filter\ReplaceFilter;
+use DeepCopy\Matcher\PropertyMatcher;
+
+$copier = new DeepCopy();
+$callback = function ($currentValue) {
+ return $currentValue . ' (copy)'
+};
+$copier->addFilter(new ReplaceFilter($callback), new PropertyMatcher('MyClass', 'title'));
+
+$copy = $copier->copy($object);
+
+// $copy->title will contain the data returned by the callback, e.g. 'The title (copy)'
+```
+
+2. If you want to replace whole element:
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+use DeepCopy\TypeFilter\ReplaceFilter;
+use DeepCopy\TypeMatcher\TypeMatcher;
+
+$copier = new DeepCopy();
+$callback = function (MyClass $myClass) {
+ return get_class($myClass);
+};
+$copier->addTypeFilter(new ReplaceFilter($callback), new TypeMatcher('MyClass'));
+
+$copy = $copier->copy([new MyClass, 'some string', new MyClass]);
+
+// $copy will contain ['MyClass', 'some string', 'MyClass']
+```
+
+
+The `$callback` parameter of the `ReplaceFilter` constructor accepts any PHP callable.
+
+
+#### `ShallowCopyFilter` (type filter)
+
+Stop *DeepCopy* from recursively copying element, using standard `clone` instead:
+
+```php
+use DeepCopy\DeepCopy;
+use DeepCopy\TypeFilter\ShallowCopyFilter;
+use DeepCopy\TypeMatcher\TypeMatcher;
+use Mockery as m;
+
+$this->deepCopy = new DeepCopy();
+$this->deepCopy->addTypeFilter(
+ new ShallowCopyFilter,
+ new TypeMatcher(m\MockInterface::class)
+);
+
+$myServiceWithMocks = new MyService(m::mock(MyDependency1::class), m::mock(MyDependency2::class));
+// All mocks will be just cloned, not deep copied
+```
+
+
+## Edge cases
+
+The following structures cannot be deep-copied with PHP Reflection. As a result they are shallow cloned and filters are
+not applied. There is two ways for you to handle them:
+
+- Implement your own `__clone()` method
+- Use a filter with a type matcher
