#PHP 8.4 is introducing newing up a class and accessing methods, properties, etc. on it without wrapping it in parentheses first. Another useful feature I will probably use on a daily basis. In my daily work with #Laravel I often need to crawl some content from a website or an API. This feature will make my code a little less cluttered.
Please, web app developers, consider how your users will upgrade. If your upgrade process is "remove the old one, unzip the new one", then it's not an upgrade process. It's an encouragement to never upgrade.
I can integrate it in my app to deploy it in production.
I need to have a git repo on the server (mainly for private repo). And it configurable with y'all config.
But with a cli command, the component will:
creates an export of given tag
extracts it in some place
runs composer install
can run some other commands
copies secret files into app dir
create a symlink (for apache)
In case of problem, I redo a symlink on previous version
Here we are again. Now it’s my turn to create a simpler way to define crop variants (and later image renderings) for #typo3
To add crop variants, create a class that implements an interface and return a definition defined in PHP objects.
TCA will be created based on the existence of these classes, implementing a special interface. no other config required, dependency injection auto wiring for the win.
Anybody did something like that before?
If not, anybody interested in this?
#PHP 8.4 introducing "Property Hooks". This means you will be able to hook into the default read and write behavior of your class properties. The design also allows for more hooks in the future. Really looking forward to this one!
Doing some #PHP package maintenance tonight, this dev dependency bump kinda stood out 😅 . Mainly I make sure my packages work on the latest #PHP versions, either through support requests or when I run into issues myself. Most of my packages are designed with the future in mind.
The long-term plan is to get reusable workflows for every package and #Renovate to open PR's more aggressively than #dDpendabot to uncover potential future issues. Currently rolling that out with every package I
@heiglandreas@derickr yea, it is hard to find a line. But depending on audience and time slot, it case be totally different. I even have BGP on the list, but don’t know what to do with it yet 😂
We have released a new library: TypoRules for #PHP 🎉
It is not actually new, as we have been working with it for years to enable outstanding #typography in our #web and #print applications. What is new is that all functionalities are now available in a bundled form and as #opensource.
@ramsey Not yet, no. The library is currently conceived from the perspective of a designer who has to take care of things like dashes and quotation marks. The rules you mentioned might be a little more difficult to implement, as some of them require context. Something like consistently capitalising the name of a month would of course be easy, but putting certain information in a certain order, for example, would be much more difficult. Do you see a need for this?
Got to say: Just been through upgrading an app from #PHP 8.1 to 8.3 and it's really nice and painfree.
Very few breaking changes, and the few that are there are stuff that a sensible person would've addressed a long time ago.
Unfortuantely that means that apart from readonly classes, there are also few exciting new things in there. But I guess these also are just point updates after all…
Almost boring 😉 (Not a bad thing! Stability is also nice.)
@michael As a general rule, "well-behaved" #PHP code tends to upgrade very easily and quickly. Code that is not well-behaved... less so.
Mainly that's because older PHP versions allowed all sorts of stupid shit, and the list of allowed stupid shit has been steadily decreasing over the years. The less stupid shit your code does, the easier the upgrade process will be. 🙂
@Crell yep I still got scars from when I upgraded my very first ever PHP application from 3 to 5. I was a kid when I started writing that app, so it definitely was full of stupid shit (still is, to be honest: always only ever stuck on band aids - the full rewrite is finally planned for later this year), so the upgrade was beyond hard.
But yeah, since then I’ve learned how to code properly (I think) so upgrades tend to be a lot simpler.
That first experience traumatised me for life though, so I’m still always scared when I start …
