    You're right, in the "develop Your First Package" guide I use the get method, which is only available via Guzzle and it's not PSR-18 compliant. I did that for the sake of brevity, because I figured anyone viewing that guide will be using the default install which comes with Guzzle. If you look through the App package though (https://github.com/apexpl/app/) you'll see it only ever uses the PSr-18 compliant sendRequest method. Although Apex does come with Guzzle by default, developers are more than welcome to modify the ~/boot/container.php file and change that one entry out to any PSR-18 compliant implementation they would like such as Httpful or whatever, and I promise Apex will continue humming along just fine.
  • [PHP] - pre-mature, but Apex v2, and let's see what happens
    2 projects | /r/reviewmycode | 8 Oct 2021
    Please note, I didn't just pull SVN out of my ass, and a whole lot of planning and research went into this. Take a look at the code at https://github.com/apexpl/app/ and you'll see for yourself this is solid code. Are you by chance a PHP developer? If so, feel free to give this a test spin via Docker. The design is horrendous at the moment, but the network is online and solid -- https://apexpl.io/guides/develop_your_first_package

  • Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers

    Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.
  • SQLite Schema Diagram Generator

    Are you using SQLite that ships with macOS, or SQLite installed from homebrew?

    I had a different problem in the past with the SQLite that ships with macOS, and have been using SQLite from homebrew since.

    So if it’s the one that comes with macOS that gives you this problem that you are having, try using SQLite from homebrew instead.
