Rewind ⏪ Cosmic Coding with Symfony #6
Twig's template inheritance is neat. Working exactly like object-oriented inheritance (in fact, it was once implemented behind the scenes as OO inheritance!), we break our base template into as many parts as we want, then override those from the child.

The biggest challenge is creating the mock object. It should be of a certain type, but its method should behave as configured. Both Mockk and Mockito use under the hood ByteBuddy, a library that allows objects to be made at runtime. Here is how it can be used to create a fake instance of UserService.

You can now create read-only database users for Laravel MySQL databases in Laravel Cloud. Great for granting access to agents or even for humans tbh.

[Muhammed Andromadus @AtherosX]

@_newtonjob @mattkingshott Oh. Didn't know Windows came with SQLite by default.

[Muhammed Andromadus @AtherosX]

@_newtonjob Generally, MySQL or PostgreSQL is still a good start. However I would still recommend SQLite for simplicity sake when doing the basics. Once they are ready to handle an ORM, then you can switch to MySQL or PostgreSQL.

This is the approach I took for my students.

[Muhammed Andromadus @AtherosX]

@_newtonjob @mattkingshott On Linux or Mac?

[Muhammed Andromadus @AtherosX]

@akshitarora0907 @_newtonjob I did start with SQL Server but using Java instead. For PHP, started with MySQL.

Coil continuing to crush it with Compose updates. Seeing the continuous improvements to image caching strategies, #KMP/#WASM support, and screenshot test fixes (Roxorazzi/Paparazzi) makes image loading in #Kotlin so much smoother.

New in Symfony CLI: symfony lsp:check! 🚀

❌ Typos in route names
❌ Missing templates or Twig components
❌ Invalid bundle configs & translation keys
❌ Unknown services & parameters

Powered by the official Symfony Language Tools, it runs headless in CI or via CLI: perfect for dev workflows, pull request reviews, and coding agents!
