I'm proud to announce, that after more than a year of development, today I released v1.0 of the @crwlrsoft crawler library! 🥳🚀💪🏻🍾

I also wrote a summary about its best parts for you:

@moreyh @LiamHammett Great! Let's do it!

[Otsch (@otsch.codes at bluesky) 👨🏻‍🦰👨‍💻 @chrolear]

@LiamHammett @moreyh That's true, I mostly think in the scraping context, where DOM manipulation isn't really necessary, but also once had a use case where I wanted to do it. Nice package! 👍

@moreyh @LiamHammett This https://t.co/v9ItNOiVxM?
I don't really know it, but sounds like the symfony DomCrawler component would have been a better option instead.

You could even use https://t.co/uxjvZTsc3h instead 😜

PHP 8.4 just dropped! 🥳🚀💪

Great release page! Well done!

Already added running tests on 8.4 in CI, so all crwlr packages should be ready for the upgrade! 💪🙂

Wow, so many people finally joining bluesky. If you're also one of them: https://t.co/K6TV6PvFIm 🙂👋

PHPStan 2.0 is here! After three years and tons of releases, we’ve taken PHP analysis to a whole new level.

Plus, it comes with a brand new member of the elephpant family you can pre-order today!

Here’s what’s new and why I think you’ll love it: 👇🧵

The amount of ads and overlays of all kinds on a lot of sites is just ridiculous! 😔🙄

[Dennis 🏕 @dennis_smink]

I've got a few elePHPants to give away again! 🥰

Like 💙 & Retweet 🔄 to win one 🔥

I have several to give away, and will be picking a winner next week! 🙌

Trying PHP 8.4 for the first time today. Already love the new DOM features. Especially natively having CSS Selectors ☺️🫶
I'll also immediately start to make all @crwlrsoft packages fit for PHP 8.4! 💪

@ste_bau I even built another package for working with query strings, that the url package uses. The query-string package also became a dependency of bref, the framework for serverless PHP apps.

@ste_bau Hey Steve, I built a package for this:

It comes with a lot of further neat functionality:
* you can resolve relative references against URLs
* you can get not only the host name, but also the registrable domain (uses mozilla public suffix list)
* ...

Participating in hacktoberfest isn't the same without t-shirt and stickers! 😢

Intuitively I'd prefer to just add an import (/use) for the FQN of a class, in any case by default, but it seems there is no setting to achieve this.
Wonder why...do most people prefer the version in the image?

Just had a discussion on our PHPeople Austria Discord Server about this example in @phpstorm
When already using the Bar class, the default behavior seems to be that Quz is used like this (Bar\Baz\Quz) instead of adding another use statement.

@AshAllenDesign @lara_devs Absolutely enjoyed it! 👍
Keep up the great work, looking forward to future episodes! 💪🙂🍿

[crwlr.software @crwlrsoft]

Already added the first new feature in v2:
Post browser navigate hooks.

When using the headless browser for loading, you can now interact with the browser after a page was loaded, before reading the state of the HTML source.

@AshAllenDesign Just listened to it and happy that my profile is still part of @lara_devs 😅💪🏻
