Theodo spoke at sfPot Paris

Tuesday, May 14 was held on the monthly Symfony community meetings – sfPot. We were invited to Pépinière 27 by Yoopies. As usual two talks were given and the discussions have continued in a bar.

The first lecture was a request from the community. We were asked to speak a little about tests, and Marek responded for the call. He gave a talk about the philosophy of tests in Symfony2. Value of Unit Tests and TDD in a project and he explained how simple is it to write unit tests leveraging the power of Phake – a framework for writing mocks. You can find the slides here.

The second talk, by Alexander Salomé from SensioLabs, was an introduction to Symfony2 Forms. His talk was rich in real life examples and very well prepared. It covered the basics but there was also a lot of use cases interesting even for experienced developers.

Many thanks to AFSY for organizing the event, and see you next month!

Symfony Icu requires lib-icu

2013-05-16T22:00:00Z

Are you trying to install Symfony version 2.3 but get the following error message?

symfony/icu v1.2.0-RC1 requires lib-icu >=4.4 -> the requested linked library icu has the wrong version installed or is missing from your system, make sure to have the extension providing it.

This comes from a requirement in the new Icu component but it is easily fixed. Just install the intl extension for PHP.

$ sudo aptitude install php5-intl

And then you are good to go!

Symfony2 and Impersonating Users, a Heads Up

2013-05-16T10:41:27Z

Recently I was working on a project in which it admins were able to impersonate other users. It’s a fairly easy task to add to Symfony2, merely adding a switch_user reference to your firewall can make it possible, consult the Symfony docs for more on that. One thing I noticed was that every now and… Continue reading →

What is needed to REST in Symfony2

2013-05-05T20:40:47Z

I think we already have quite a nice toolchain for REST in Symfony2 with Bundles like FOSRestBundle, JMSSerializerBundle, NelmioApiDocBundle, FSCHateoasBundle and HautelookTemplatedUriBundle. What is great about these Bundles is that they are all nicely integrated with each other. But there are still some limitations which should be addressed. The following is not an exhaustive unordered list and also not detailed enough but just something to illustrate where I feel there is still work left:

1) Content type negotiation inside the Routing layer
2) Dynamic content in NelmioApiDocBundle and/or some way to integrate with JMSSerializer exclusion strategies (f.e. so that I can version my API docs together with my API)
3) Dynamic content in FSCHateoasBundle like being able to add Request data into URL patterns or being able to set URLs based on model data etc.
4) Behat Context for testing REST APIs (specifically Context for JSON/XML "assertions)
5) Integrate Behat test reports with NelmioApiDocBundle
6) Wrap up JSONP support
7) Fix open FOSRestBundle issues, especially edge cases in the Routing loader
8) Provide a simple solution to offer token based authentication including API throttling
9) Integrate with the SensioGeneratorBundle (and other RAD solutions like KnpRadBundle)
10) Better support for XML responses in NelmioApiDocBundle when using the "output" support together with JMSSerializer (right now it basically shows you can array like structure which makes sense for JSON only)
11) ..

What I would like is for us to work on creating a prioritized product backlog of all of these features and then do a kickstarter project (anyone used catincan.com yet?) to get funding for this. Ideal candidates for implementing this would imho be Adrien and William but there would be of course also others that could step up here. I imagine with budget for about 3 man months we could provide and incredible experience for the Symfony2 community. If we get 100 companies/people to donate 100 Euros each we would have a very good funding basis for this. I know bringing money into open source is tricky but there are lots of people who we know and trust to produce awesome stuff if they get some time to focus on open source. WDYT?

To put a bit of money where my mouth is .. I would donate 250 Euros for this out of my own pocket ..

How to use lesscss without NodeJs in Symfony2 with Assetic?

2013-04-24T10:20:04Z

Today, we will talk about a little trick: How to use Less when node.js is not available on your server?

We will use the latest version of lessphp available at the time of writing this article. You can find the full list of tags on github : https://github.com/leafo/lessphp/tags.

Assuming Composer is already installed, run the following command from your console to complete the installation:

php composer.phar require leafo/lessphp:0.3.9

The composer require command adds lessphp package to the composer.json file from the current directory and executes a composer update command.

Then, we need to update our config file:

# app/config/config.yml
# Assetic Configuration
assetic:
    filters:
        cssrewrite: ~
        lessphp:
            apply_to: "\.less$"
            file:   %kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/leafo/lessphp/lessc.inc.php

Assetic will change the paths to our assets and breaks all links that use relative paths.
In order to prevent this, we use cssrewrite filter that parses CSS files and rewrites paths to reflect the new location.

We use the ‘apply_to’ option so we don’t need to specify the lessphp filter on the twig template.

Finally, you can include your less files in the template like this:



    
        

        My WebSite
        {% stylesheets
            'bundles/acme/less/example.less'
        %}
            
        {% endstylesheets %}
    
    
        {% block body%}{% endblock %}

Because of the latency between the new lesscss feature and his implementation in php, lessphp is not as good as the latter but it is possible to use it in most situations.

You can find more information on the lessphp website: http://leafo.net/lessphp/

icanhaz templates (auto)loader

2013-04-20T16:43:00Z

When developing a RIA application with icanhaz.js, you may wonder about the best way to easily maintain and efficiently load all your templates.

The following code implements an object you can use to load all your templates initially (you may also load templates on-demand by implementing other methods): Take a look at the last two lines of code - you can either load all template files separately or load a one big concatenated template file. For more details on concatenating ICanHaz templates, read this article.
