@iRedds seems to have created it.
In my opinion, the conversion is not necessary. If you want to convert an array
, then it should be in the database as JSON and json
, json-array
should be used. The concept of an object
is too big, therefore it requires a custom Cast
It's probably worth adding @deprecated
and replacing saving and conversion with JSON
I have never used it. It is useless to me in the context of a relational database. Maybe for NoSQL or other scenarios, it might have some use.
Yes, it seems useless in the context of a relational database.
But even for NoSQL, why don't you set an object to an entity, instead of an array?
Good point. I honestly can't imagine a valid scenario 🤷♂️

The
object
handler seems to expect the property to be set to an array. https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/blob/0cd39937d7a8dbd8074237596024adce0fe3c2af/system/Entity/Cast/ObjectCast.php#L22-L25 https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/blob/0cd39937d7a8dbd8074237596024adce0fe3c2af/tests/system/Entity/EntityTest.php#L439-L449However, when setting an array, we cannot save that Entity to the database.
How is this handler used in the first place?
