Call custom __construct on POST

I have a simple resource mapped and I can perform the default CRUD operations on it, but I want to create my entity calling a custom constructor like public function __construct(Email $email).

Is this even possible with a custom action / event / option in serializer?

I’m using a DDD/Hexagonal architecture approach and I would like to decouple my Domain from the Framework, so not having a __construct and just call all the setters that I need to initialise my entity doesn’t fit in my project.

Is it technicaly possible to add this option to the framework in a PR? Maybe someone can take over and code it if enough people find it useful.

Here what I answered him already in Slack, so it can be use as reference and probably to close the issue:

A solution can be to have a custom denormalizer for that class. That way he can create the instance of the class whatever he want. Another solution (if the user can set/choose this kind of constructor parameter) is to have a parameter in the json in the POST body with the same name as the constructor parameter, because the default Serializer ObjectNormalizer use reflection to create the instance and if the constructor has parameters, it tries to denormalize them from the input.
