Rewind ⏪ Design Patterns #14 Alrighty, it's the FINAL chapter of the Design Patterns tutorial! We override a core Symfony service by writing just *one* class, thanks to the decorator pattern & the #[AsDecorator] attribute. Plus we show where you can find decorators in the wild. https://lnkd.in/eUZUjshP

Rewind ⏪ Design Patterns #13 How can you use the decorator pattern with Symfony's service container? Let's do it the "manual" way first: via a service alias from the interface and some clever wiring. https://lnkd.in/eeakYa_a

Rewind ⏪ Design Patterns #12 Time for the *final* design pattern... and maybe my favorite! It's the decorator pattern! Let's define it and get it set up inside our app. https://lnkd.in/eRvtF9aj

Symfony upgrades do not have to be scary 😌 Deprecations are your roadmap: Fix warnings in 7.4 → upgrade safely to Symfony 8 🚀 0 deprecations = no surprises. https://lnkd.in/eXSV7ncv

Symfony form tip 💡 `form_row()` renders everything. `form_widget()` renders just the field itself. Need full control? Render the label, widget, errors, and help text separately 🎨 https://lnkd.in/e62nCv8f

Rewind ⏪ Design Patterns #11 Happy Friday! Celebrate by dispatching fresh waffles & an extra cup of coffee to anyone that wants to listen. Yes, this was a Pub-Sub pattern joke... https://lnkd.in/g8NG_DqK

Rewind ⏪ Design Patterns #10 Time for the pub-sub pattern! Which... is maybe more of a variation on the observer pattern. Let's figure out the difference and see how we can dispatch & listen to an event directly in PHP. https://lnkd.in/gbZGSmKN

SymfonyCasts Snippets: Ahoy matey ⚓ YAML anchors & aliases let you define a piece of config once, then reuse it wherever you need it. Less duplication, more reuse, and your config files stay shipshape ⛵ https://lnkd.in/gTfnZv_H

Upgrading to Symfony 8 #5 With the "hard" work behind us, the actual jump from Symfony 7.4 to 8.0 should be pretty easy. Plus, we'll check out a nifty Composer command afterward to confirm we have no outdated 😉 packages.

Rewind ⏪ Design Patterns #9 Such a fun way to wrap up the observer pattern! We see how this is implemented - in real life - in a Symfony app. This includes tags, autoconfiguration, a compiler pass and a method call. Woh! https://lnkd.in/e7vCVh2N
