TYPO3 Core

The whole DataMapper is internal and will likely stay that way. Can you maybe rephrase the ticket to articulate what you want to achieve and why?

Ok, got the case.

Not sure if the DataMapper of Extbase would be the way to go or some more generic array-to-object mapper which could be integrated in the core but one way or the other, the use case is valid.

(Yes, I know that the whole class was marked internal by annotation last year, but extbase was one part which used @api to annotate public api instead of the other way around before that IIRC)

Hello,

is this feature still needed?
I mean: It's easy to wrap your data into an array and use map() method without any problems.
The map() method in DataMapper has not changed since over 8 years.
Further you can implement your own simple DataMapper like that: https://github.com/jweiland-net/maps2/blob/TYPO3_6-2/Classes/Utility/DataMapper.php without all these language and TCA checks.

Hey.

I hope we don't disturb anyone by closing the issue for now: It seems unlikely the DM in extbase is reworked for now and there haven't been many changes for years as Stefan said. As far as I can see, map() does not fire DB calls / anymore? If this is a pressing issue, we could still make the method public. Let's do that in a fresh issue in case this is still an issue.
