Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

thecodingmachine/safe: All PHP functions, rewritten to throw exceptions instead of returning false

Oh boy here we go again…
There are workarounds with some third party libraries, but yeah, it's a pain.
- Which inconsistences of PHP annoy you the most?
-
Any ideas about why json_encode would return empty for a request on local dev, but not empty on server?
- try not to use the built-in json_encode, as it doesnt have proper error handling. Use instead this: https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe and Safe\json_encode()
-
Native defer & errdefer
Not what you asked for, in modern codebases it's advised to use things like https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe
-
Use namespaced functions to replace native functions - github.com/rezen/proxyz
The goal of https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe is different than proxyz. My goal is a method proxy that allows you to override or watch the behaviour of a function from the "global namespace" effortlessly.
-
preg_last_error() and json_last_error()
Safe-PHP redeclares all core PHP functions (in a new namespace) to throw exceptions properly. I use this on almost every project now.
What are some alternatives?
PHPVerbalExpressions - PHP Regular expressions made easy
PHP Dotenv - Loads environment variables from `.env` to `getenv()`, `$_ENV` and `$_SERVER` automagically.
Metrics - Simple library that abstracts different metrics collectors. I find this necessary to have a consistent and simple metrics (functional) API that doesn't cause vendor lock-in.
