 * - You can return `undefined` to let the default transformation occurs or an object
 *
 * **fromPlain** is a function to transform a plain Javascript object into a class instance (reverse function of `toPlain`)
 * - Its first parameter is the plain object, the second is a function to transform any data to a primitive, an array, an object or a class instance
 * - You can return `undefined` to let the default transformation occurs or final transformed object
 *
