Twig VS PHPUnit

As you can see this template will add and configura the Pest test suite with a custom TestCase class that will start the application for your tests, making easy to test your application services (as used by Orkestra itself) and you will see a basic application, with a single route in the file config/routes.php that calls a Controller that simply render a Twig view.

Miscommunication in our projects is costly. A single misunderstood User Story can result in 3 days of wasted development time. Additionally, when developers do not use the same programming language, it may be necessary to construct APIs to facilitate communication, which can also be expensive. It is important to consider why front-end developers may be hesitant to work with Twig and how this can lead to a disconnect between front-end and back-end development.

The first step before generating the PDF is writing the HTML. To generate the HTML string, we will use the Twig template engine, which is the default one in Symfony. It comes with tons of features such as inheritance, blocks, filters, functions, and more.

In the phase of outputting data, you can use template engines like Twig or Blade or htmlspecialchars function.

Joomla dips into and out of php to get vars/logic into the frontend, which is fine, but it's nowhere near as tidy as a full-fledged templating engine like blade or twig which many other php CMSs offer out of the box.

FTLOG, use a template engine. Do NOT use PHP itself as a template engine (ironic given its origins). The best are probably Twig (https://twig.symfony.com/) (used by Symfony and a few others) and Latte (https://latte.nette.org/) (less widely used, but its syntax is *way* more learnable as it's more like PHP itself).

It took me a while to find a PHP project that was simple enough for me to set up on a single Docker image, but after some trial and error I found the Twig project.

PHPUnit is the de facto standard for PHP unit testing. It provides a framework for writing and running tests, helping developers quickly discover and fix errors. PHPUnit encourages developers to write testable code and adopt a test-driven development approach, resulting in higher-quality code and reduced chances of errors in production.

Before updating Api Platform, you should make sure that your Api Platform routes are fully covered by tests. You can define integration tests with PHPUnit, Behat or Pest, depending on the tool you’re most comfortable with.

PHPUnit: PHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework for PHP. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.

We want to start migrating to Attributes because of the announcement made here that in PHPUnit 12 support for metadata in docblocks will be removed: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/4502

PHPUnit: PHPUnit PHPUnit is a testing framework for PHP. It enables developers to write unit tests, integration tests, and functional tests to verify the correctness of their code. It offers a wide range of assertions, test runners, and mocking capabilities.

I really like how Pest PHP formats and outputs test results, but I still prefer to use PHPUnit. Luckily there's Collision. This package is designed to give you beautiful error reporting when interacting with your app through the command line.

Finally we install the command line version of php (no web server is needed for this project), composer which is a package management system for PHP and PHP Unit, the testing framework of PHP.

I've been developing my own symfony bundle and I would like to share with you how I'm driving continuos integration to execute my unit tests. For testing purposes I'm using phpunit and for continous integration i've choosen github actions.

PHPUnit is a unit testing framework for PHP included with Laravel and can be used to test your application's code. It provides a set of assertions and functions for testing your code and can be used to run automated tests.
