Symfony Debug to Error Handler Component

Fri, 29 Nov 2019 01:04:31 +0530

Since symfony 4.4 the symfony/debug component is deprecated.

The “\Symfony\Component\Debug\ErrorHandler” class is deprecated since Symfony 4.4, use “\Symfony\Component\ErrorHandler\ErrorHandler”

Running unit tests on Mascot, I noticed lots of warnings.

But it was not easy as changing Symfony\Component\Debug\ExceptionHandler to Symfony\Component\ErrorHandler\ErrorHandler.

Assume we have something as below

<?php
$handler = new \Symfony\Component\Debug\ExceptionHandler($debug);
$exception = $event->getThrowable();
if (!$exception instanceof FlattenException) {
    $exception = FlattenException::create($exception);
}
$response = Response::create($handler->getHtml($exception), $exception->getStatusCode(), $exception->getHeaders())->setCharset(ini_get('default_charset'));
$event->setResponse($response);

The Symfony\Component\ErrorHandler\ErrorHandler has no getHtml method.

From the symfony docs, if you are in development mode we can use below code.

building modular applications with psr 7

Fri, 24 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000

PSR-7, the HTTP message interfaces opened a new door of creating modular applications.

Sadly many of the PSR-7 implementations added many helper methods.

So if someone is creating a library that needs a PSR-7 implementations they tie the particular library with the PSR-7 implementation and use these convinient helper methods.

So was PSR-15: interfaces for HTTP Middleware and PSR-17: interfaces for HTTP Factories was proposed.

When creating a module one of the most challenging part is how to serve the javascript, css and images. We are going to use hkt/psr7-asset which is a fork of Aura.Asset_Bundle . What you want to do is only map the path to the assets folder.

using cakephp migration as standalone

Fri, 24 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Cakephp version 3 have a nice ORM. When using the cakephp/orm, it may be nice to integrate cakephp/migration than any other migration libraries, even though it uses phinx under the hood.

Lets see how we can install and integrate cakephp/migration in our application.

1

composer require cakephp/migrations:dev-master

The dev-master is currently passed for we need the latest version of master branch. Before this pull request, it was having dependency on cakephp/cakephp, which is not needed.

aura dot di 2 dot x to 3 dot x upgrade guide

Tue, 15 Mar 2016 00:00:00 +0000

3.x has a very minimal BC break. But if you are not sure what are they, then you may feel the pain. I am trying to document most of them, incase I missed please edit and send a pull request.

I will try to eventually pushed to the main Aura.Di repo.

cakephp orm and logging queries

Sat, 16 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Working with cakephp/orm library, I needed to log all the queries. Cakephp provides a way to do it via cakephp/log.

<?php

Log::config('queries', [
	'className' => 'File',
	'path' => '/my/log/path/',
	'file' => 'app',
	'scopes' => ['queriesLog']
]);

But you are not limited, if you need to configure it to a PSR-3 logger like monolog/monolog

    $log->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('php://stdout'));
    return $log;
});

That was pretty simple and it logs to cli.

cakephp orm and illuminate pagination

Wed, 13 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Do you know CakePHP version 3 has a lovely ORM which can be used as standalone?

Thank you José Lorenzo Rodríguez and every contributor, for your hard work.

1

composer require cakephp/orm

That’s it.

Working on I noticed I need to do some pagination. Oh, remember we have illuminate/pagination. Why not use it?

Problem, there seems no one have implemented it. How could we achieve it? Lets do it.

1

composer require illuminate/pagination

If you are using a psr-7 request / response here is the middleware for you.

eloquent and pagination inside zend expressive

Fri, 13 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Recently working with eloquent (Laravel’s orm), zend expressive and zend view, I wanted to integrate pagination.

It was simple as registering a Paginator middleware.

<?php
use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

IlluminatePaginator::currentPageResolver(function ($pageName) use ($request) {
    $params = $request->getQueryParams();
    return empty($params[$pageName]) ? 1 : $params[$pageName];
});
IlluminatePaginator::currentPathResolver(function () use ($request) {
    return $request->getUri()->getPath();
});

and you can call paginate on the Model.

Eg : Consider you have a Post model.

integrating zend form in zend expressive and view

Fri, 13 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Example is based using Aura.Di. But the functionality will be same for any containers. First register the service Zend\View\HelperPluginManager, so that we can access the same object.

To register the form helpers, create the object of Zend\Form\View\HelperConfig and pass the Zend\View\HelperPluginManager service.

Example code with Aura.Di version 3 configuration.

    }

    public function modify(Container $di)
    {
        $serviceManager = $di->get('Zend\View\HelperPluginManager');
        $helper = new HelperConfig();
        $helper->configureServiceManager($servicemanager);

custom events in symfony2 bundle

Sun, 11 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000

In this tutorial we will create a custom event for symfony2 bundle.

Assuming you have downloaded the symfony-standard distribution to play.

Create HktEventBundle via sensio generator bundle.

class PageViewed extends Event
{
    protected $name;

    public function __construct($name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }
}

Add as many methods/properties which are needed from the listener. Instead of creating an event class we can make use of generic event also.

20 years of php

Wed, 17 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0000

First my apologies being late! I hope you all know PHP is celebrating its 20th years of existence in the web.

There is something that makes PHP unique that helps to standout with other languages.

In this opporchunity I would like to thank the creator, the contributors, the maintainers, and all the users (past/present) to make this memorable.

My Story

I got an exposure to learn and use internet in my college days. In those period I look html as a very complex language. I wasn’t aware there exists editors which help you.

zend feed and guzzle

Wed, 01 Apr 2015 00:00:00 +0000

You may have worked with Zend Feed as a standalone component. I don’t know whether you have integrated Zend framework Feed with Guzzle as Http Client.

This post is inspired by Matthew Weier O’Phinney, who have mentioned the same on github.

conduit middleware for php

Wed, 21 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Long back, I happened to talk with Beau Simensen about stackphp on #auraphp channel. It was hard for me to digest when I noticed it need symfony/http-kernel and its dependencies.

After a few months, I started to like the middleware approach of slim framework and wanted to push it to aura. But nothing happened there.

Conduit to rescue
#

Conduit is a Middleware for PHP built by Matthew Weier O’Phinney lead of Zend framework. Conduit supports the current PSR-7 proposal. I believe like the many PSR’s, PSR-7 will be a revolution in the PHP world. Conduit is really a micro framework and can grow with your project.

experimenting on different framework

Tue, 13 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

improving environment value in aura v2

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Aura v2 framework probably have missed a better way to handle environment variables. But that doesn’t make you stall. Things can be improved ;-).

Assume you are already using aura framework and is at root of the project.

We are going to make use of vlucas/phpdotenv , alternatives are there if you are interested to experiment.

composer require vlucas/phpdotenv

Edit the file config/_env.php and add Dotenv::load(/path/to/.env); to the first line. If you have not modified anything it will look as below

speedup configuration aura v2

Sat, 06 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Aura v2 added auto resolution in-order to help lazy people writing configuration manually. Even though it was introduced to help, it introduced a few issues.

So auto resolution will be disabled in the future. Some of the complains/suggestions are how to easily write the di configuration.

getting started with aura v2

Mon, 06 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Yesterday aura framework v2 stable released.

Lots of complains about documentation or missing documentation. So this is a quick start. Probably a five minutes walk through. Learn and change to make it better.

Creating your project

The minimal framework don’t come with any sort of view integrated. Let us use aura/view, the two step templating with the help of foa/html-view-bundle.

aura input form inside slim framework

Tue, 02 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Rob Allen wrote about Integrating ZF2 forms into Slim. I did write how you can use Aura.Input and Aura.Html to create standalone form for PHP. This time I felt I should write about integrating aura input inside Slim.

Let us install a few dependencies aura/input for building the form and aura/html for the html helpers. You of-course can skip not to use aura/html and build your own helper. I also purposefully left not integrating the powerful Aura.Filter , but you are not limited to integrate any validator you love inside Aura.Input .

aura framework v2 the missing manual

Tue, 15 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Aura has an awesome collection of libraries for different purpose.

It has components for authentication, cli, request and response, router, dependency injection container, dispatcher, html, view, event handlers, validation, extended pdo, query builders, sql schema, marshal, build and modify uri, http, internationalization, session, forms, includer.

If you are new to aura, there is probably something you may want to figure out yourself.

Some of the components have version 1 and version 2 releases. There is a question of which branch corresponds to which version.

The v1 packages are in develop branch and v2 over develop-2 branch.

hidden gems of composer

Thu, 29 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000

I hope everyone in the PHP world is aware of composer the dependency management tool that gives an end to Pear.

extending plates with aura html helpers

Tue, 13 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Aura.Html provides HTML escapers and helpers, including form input helpers, that can be used in any template, view, or presentation system.

In this post I would like to give you a short introduction to Aura.Html and how you could use with Plates a native php templating system like Aura.View.

Aura.Html was extracted from Aura.View helper functions of version 1, when we at aura noticed that people who uses Aura.Input may need some html helper functions and they may not be using a templating like Aura.View, but some other templating system.

2 days back Paul M Jones wrote an awesome post A Peek At Aura v2 – Aura.Dispatcher the idea behind Aura.Dispatcher and how it was born.

I am not going to explain each and everything, the code is self explanatory. You can move the classes according to your wish (may be to another folder). I am trying to show a simple use case.

rest is delete idempotent

Fri, 01 Nov 2013 00:00:00 +0000

This post is a thrive to learn, and not to show anyone is incorrect. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Lukas Kahwe Smith was having a nice post RESTing with Symfony2

Quoting a few words from the post on REST

DELETE and 404
#

I started my talk on RESTing with Symfony2 with an introduction to REST itself. On slide 7 of my talk I explained the concept of “safe” and “idempotent” HTTP methods. Many people were surprised when I explained that DELETE should be idempotent, meaning that sending a DELETE request to a resource that has been removed should infact not return a 404.

looking at aura v2

Sat, 28 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

If you have noticed recently, there have been tons of commits from Paul M Jones for aura version 2.

More standalone repos born. Everyone should try and give feedback as much as possible.

Interesting stuffs split from Aura.Sql v 1.3 are

Extended PDO,

As the name says, it is an extended version of PDO. Good thing is it is PHP 5.3 compatible.

If you have worked with PDO you know the good and bad. One of the difficulty is, it cannot use an array for an in clause.

aura framework released

Thu, 19 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

It is a great feeling, and one of the happiest moment in my life when aura releases its stable framework.

Aura is one of my first framework, which helped me to learn the inner working of a framework, how to create a framework, rather than playing with full stack framework.

If you are interested to learn or contribute in the next version of Aura join the group.

In order to connect you want to create an object of the above class My_Soap_Magento. You need to get the username and api key from the magento host.

the book on aura

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000

There has been lot of requests to show how the individual packages in aura, can be made use inside the framework.

So today I am happy to announce that there is a work in progress to make the framework documentation better. I have already started the work on the same.

You can read the chapters online.

The examples used in the book are also online at
https://github.com/harikt/Example.Package

I hope Something is better than nothing.

magento and rest api

Fri, 05 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Magento provides both REST and SOAP api. In this post I would like to concentrate on REST api to connect and get the products from magento shop.

First we want to register an Oauth consumer to get the consumer key and secret key.

Login to the admin of the magento shop and from the menu System->Web Services->REST - Oauth Consumers and add a new Ouath consumer.

aura dot web

Tue, 04 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000

If you are new to the concept of MVC, or if you are planning to build your own framework, probably Aura.Web help you to do the same.

Here is the article in phpmaster.com Aura.Web: Aura’s Page Controller for MVC.

Probably you may also like the article Web Routing in PHP with Aura.Router.

aura system released beta5

Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Yesterday Paul M Jones tagged the beta5 for the system repo.

So you can download the system from http://auraphp.com/system/downloads/

via composer
#

Creating aura framework based projects has been made easy with composer. You can run

php composer.phar create-project -s dev aura/system your-directory

What it does is almost similar to git clone and installing via git as below

standalone form for php

Thu, 23 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Yesterday I wrote about Standalone Forms and Validation. It may need a little bit knowledge on how the Aura.Filter works. But that is a good start if you want to know how you can integrate the pieces of Aura.

Today I think I need to show you the very minimal approach you can take to build the form and validate your form. If you want to use a powerful validation and filtering use something like Aura.Filter or bind your favourite components which does the validation Respect, Symfony2 Validator, valitron and filtering with something like DMS-Filter.

standalone forms and validation

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Update : I wrote a very minimal approach here

Recently Aura.Input was tagged Beta1. I would like to show you how you can use Aura.Input, Aura.Filter and Aura.View to create form.

The Aura.Input itself contains a basic filter implementation. As shown in earlier post Aura Turns 2

But in this post let us use the power of Aura.Filter. As Aura.Input doesn’t have a rendering capability you may need to use Aura.View as templating system ( see Using Aura.View ) or use the helper classes provided by Aura.View ( see below Without using Aura.View completely ) or create your own helper classes to render the same from the hints ( see Hints for the view ).

aura turns 2

Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Looking over the commits on Aura.Router, Aura.Signal etc you will notice, aura project has turned 2.

And today, I would like to introduce you, the new born baby still under active development and refactoring based on user feedback, the form library for php, Aura.Input.

The Aura.Input, doesn’t have a rendering functionality. But you can always use Aura.View or create your own helpers.

A basic filtering based on closure exists in Aura.Input. But you are not limited, you can use your own filtering components or integrate Aura.Filter.

aura dot http request and response

Sat, 16 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The Aura.Http package provide you the tool to build and send request and response.

Instantiation:
#

The easiest way is

1
2
3


<?php

$http = require 'path/to/Aura.Http/scripts/instance.php';

What it gives you is an object of Aura\Http\Manager. If you want to create manually you can look into the instance.php

Building your Response
#

Probably you may not have bothered too much on building the http response either the framework does it for you, or until you need to send the correct response.

our awesome php people

Recently github introduces contributions chart. So I peeped into some of the people of our php community. It seems @fabpot is the one who contributes almost every day. Just 21 days without any contribution.

thoughts on package or component

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Comparing a software X with Y will not make anything worst, but makes it better. But many of them will think it as a promotional stuff. It is not anyones’s problem. Some like to build it that way, some like the other way.

So I am not comparing X with Y here.

Not talking about package like Guzzle:

I am not mentioning building something like Guzzle, which is a framework that includes the tools needed to create a robust web service client.
