Hydration of an entity from a request. What to use?

Question

PHP

Hello.
Briefly: there is a legacy project in which Symfony components are embedded. There is Doctrine and Request.

Is there any builder that can put data into an entity from Request POST?
To avoid writing $entity->setName, setText and so on every time.
The data is essentially all simple, strings, yes numbers.

It seems that symfony/forms can do this, but we already have the layout of the forms.

Thanks to all.

Use Symfony Serializer Component , namely built-in ObjectNormalizeror GetSetMethodNormalizer, once you decide to work with entities through setters / getters

$obj = $this->normalizer->denormalize($data, YourEntity::class);
