In part 1 of this series we stated that Nuvola is a multi-tenant software and using a single db for every tenant can quickly become a problem as your data grow. Let’s dig a bit about pros and cons about multi-tenant…
This article starts a series of posts regarding a case-study about Symfony and multi-tenancy. Subject of the case-study is our flagship software Nuvola, a multi-tenancy product for schools, used since 2013 by more than 1 thousands Italian schools. Nuvola let them fulfill…
Hello everybody, we are pleased to announce that finally videos of SfDayIT2016 have been posted by GrUSP onto Vimeo channel. If you don’t know that we were selected as speakers for that event, well, now you are aware 😀 Below you…
Suppose that we have a value object or, more in general, an object where its data has been set in the constructor
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
class Foo { protected $bar; protected $foobar; public function construct($bar, $foobar) { // .... } } |
and its FormType
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
class FooType extends AbstractType { public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { $builder ->add('bar') ->add('foobar'); } // ... } |
Let’s assume that bar and foobar are taken from HTTP POST values (so, basically, we need those values to be posted…
In the Scaling Symfony sessions with Memcached article we focused on scaling our Symfony session with Memcached. Memcached is very easy to set-up and use but it lacks of persistence and some other cool stuffs we can find in Redis. What’s Redis?…

class DateTimeInterval { private $from; private $to; private $allDayLong; public function setFrom(\DateTime $from) { if ($this->isAllDayLong()) { $from->setTime(0, 0, 0); } $this->from = $from; return $this; } public function getFrom() { ... } // omitted public function setTo(\DateTime $to) { if ($this->isAllDayLong()) { $to->setTime(23, 59, 59); } $this->to = $to; return $this; } public function getTo() { ... } // omitted public function allDayLong() { $this->allDayLong = true; } public function isAllDayLong() { return $this->allDayLong; } } |
It’s a simple class that represent a DateTimeInterval with a flag named allDayLong that let an object of DateTimeInterval class to fill all day. You can see that setFrom and setTo are affected from allDayLong flag: if is set, time of…
If you know PHPSpec a bit, you certainly are aware of let function.
|
1 2 3 4 |
function let(EntityManager $em) { $this->beConstructedWith($em); } |
that helps you to define “automagic” mocks handled directly by PHPSpec and that you can pass to your example
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
public function it_use_entity_manager(EntityManager $em) { // ... $em->persist(Argument::any())->shouldBeCalled(); } |
If type and name of your mock…

Today we are going to analyze a very common situation if you use Symfony framework: let’s talk about collection of objects, forms used to handle them and “collection swapping” (a.k.a. changing owner onto owning side of a collection relationship in…
