🔐 Symfony Security Basics #16 User impersonation is super useful... until you forget you're impersonating someone! Let's make it painfully obvious when we're switched to another user and add an easy way to exit.

Rewind ⏪ Cosmic Coding with Symfony #2 A new Symfony project is... only about 15 files 🤯! Let's get to know our tiny new app, meet the only 2 directories we care about & get PhpStorm set up & ready for coding. https://lnkd.in/ghepvhiF

🔐 Symfony Security Basics #15 Need to debug a problem from a user's perspective? Let's enable Symfony's user impersonation feature so admins can temporarily switch to another user without ever knowing their password.

Rewind ⏪ Cosmic Coding with Symfony #1 Cosmic Coding with Symfony (fully compatible with Symfony 8). Let’s build something beautiful, modern & love the process! https://lnkd.in/gRY7ESTn

🔐 Symfony Security Basics #14 Hiding an action a user can't access is good UX, but it's not security! Let's enforce our voter permissions in the controller, then give admins the power to bypass them.

Doctrine lazy objects used to rely on generated proxy classes that extended your entities. PHP 8.4 makes them native. Same lazy-loading magic - fewer workarounds - and your entities can finally be "final". 🎉 See how lazy objects work 👉 https://lnkd.in/gS6T4Xdj

🔐 Symfony Security Basics #13 Roles are great, but sometimes permissions need to be more precise. Let's create a custom voter to decide whether the current user can edit or delete a specific object.

🔐 Symfony Security Basics #12 Fetching the current user is easy. Fetching it elegantly is even better. Let's compare a few approaches and finish with the expressive #[CurrentUser] attribute.

Rewind ⏪ Doctrine Queries #16 We're wrapping up the update to our Doctrine Queries tutorial with a more complex GROUP BY query. We select objects *and* extra data all at once... to reduce our page queries down to 1! https://lnkd.in/eJbgEwM4

Rewind ⏪ Doctrine Queries #15 Ever run into an SQL function that Doctrine didn't support - like MySQL's RAND? Those may not work out-of-the-box (and b/c of a good reason), but they're easy to use thanks to the beberlei/DoctrineExtensions library! https://lnkd.in/emhc3ac2
