namespace App;

require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

use PHPSharkTank\Anonymizer\Anonymizer;
use PHPSharkTank\Anonymizer\Handler\CallbackHandler;
use PHPSharkTank\Anonymizer\Handler\NullHandler;
use PHPSharkTank\Anonymizer\Loader\AttributeLoader;
use PHPSharkTank\Anonymizer\Registry\HandlerRegistry;
use PHPSharkTank\Anonymizer\Visitor\GraphNavigator;
use PHPSharkTank\Anonymizer\Attribute\EnableAnonymize;
use PHPSharkTank\Anonymizer\Attribute\Handler;

#[EnableAnonymize]
class Person {
    #[Handler(value: 'callback', options: ['method' => 'getNameDefault'])]
    public string $name = '';
    
    #[Handler(value: 'null')]
    public ?string $nullable = '';

    public function getNameDefault(): string
    {
        return 'name';
    }
}

$anonymizer = new Anonymizer(new GraphNavigator(
    new AttributeLoader(),
        new HandlerRegistry([
            new CallbackHandler(),
            new NullHandler()
        ]),
));

$person = new Person();
$anonymizer->process($person);
var_dump($person);
