Very recently I discovered usernamehw.errorlens and it's a shame I hadn't seen it before.
Error Lens is an addon for VSCode which will show errors, notices, warnings, etc. in the editor, which are generally only accessible in the Problems area of VSCode.
Did you know where is that area? In the status bar of the main VSCode window. Did you see it? Hardly anyone sees it, and yet it should be!
We can see here I've 54 problems, ouch.
Tabnine is a MUST HAVE extension. He will predict your next keystroke and sometimes it's just WOW; HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?.
Imagine you've a private string $firstName property in PHP. By starting to type private function set, Tabnine will understand you're probably creating a setter and will then suggest setFirstName(string $firstname).
<?php
class Customer
{
private string $firstName;
private function set // <=== Tabnine will predict and propose setFirstName(string $firstname)
}
A recent post on the Joomla French forum was asking for being able to delete tables present in the Joomla database; the ones using a given prefix like old_ or something like that.
Indeed, from time to time, it can be useful to take a look on the list of tables in your database and perhaps, you'll find tables prefixed with f.i. old_ or an old tool you've used years ago (using the correct prefix but with a component you've removed since like joomla_oldcomp).
Years ago, I've written such PHP utility, let's see how to use it.
Currently, end of February 2024, there aren't many free refactoring extensions for PHP under VSCode. We'll take a look to PHP Refactor Tool and PHP Refactoring.
We'll learn how to rename a symbol, a class and, even better, how to extract a portion of a long method into a new one.
This article is the very short and straightforward version of PHP development in a devcontainer with preinstalled code quality tools. If you just want to follow a very few steps and get your PHP environment, this article is for you.
By following steps describe in this article, you'll obtain:
composer package manager installed,php-cs-fixer, phpcs, phpcbf, sonarlint and Rector installedJust follow the guide...
Please refers to my other articles about Docker to see how to Dockerize the application and be able to run the application using Apache and a database service like PostgreSQL.
Imagine you had to make a call to a SOAP web service in Excel? For example, to validate the VAT number you have been given before carrying out some processing.
You will call the URL that corresponds to the web service you want, but you will also need to pass a number of parameters in XML format so that the service knows what you want to do.
We'll learn, in this blog post, how to validate a European VAT number using the VIES VAT number validation SOAP web service.
The VBA code we will see in this article can be used as a skeleton for your future development.
When you're running a Docker container on a different network than the standard one (called bridge) and you wish to run a second container that needs to access the first container, you need to run the second container on the same network.
Let's say, you're running a MySQL database on a network called my_network and you wish to be able start a second container like phpMyAdmin and get access to the database, then you need to use the --network CLI option when running the second container using docker run.
Now, imagine the first container is a web application and the second container should be able to access his web page and, too, reusing the same alias?
You'd like to get in touch with a GitHub user but, e.g., you don't want to post your question as an issue because, e.g., it's not about a specific repository but more generic.
As a result, the problem can be translated in How to find the email address linked to a GitHub account.
Recently, I had this need in order to contact someone with a Docusaurus blog offering a feature that I couldn't find documented on the web. His blog was not on GitHub but other repos well.
Indeed, GitHub provides a.o.t. an option to make the email private in his user settings page.
When developing APIs from scratch, you can do it in the mode I get behind the PC and start programming or I learn about the standards first and then program in compliance with these standards.
And if we lose sight of these norms, we quickly come back to writing endpoints like /articles/insert that are semantically incorrect (and even stupid). In fact, we'll never GET here.
The purpose of the article below is to list best practices by way of examples.
If there was only one, it would be Rector. Rector is extremely powerful and brilliant and, you know what, it's free!
Rector is a tremendous application to scan and automatically upgrade your codebase to a given version of PHP and this means, too, to inspect how you're coding.
Rector will look at every line of code, every loop, every conditional test, every function, every class in a PHP source code and suggest improvements.
In this role, it will not only detect improvements to my code (like a static analysis tool) but, and this is the biggest advantage for me, it will show me how I can become a better developer.
I REALLY LOVE RECTOR 馃挄
