Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt Gainesville I’m going to say y’all a lot ( )

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt Who’s my audience?

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt Most Laravel tutorials assume a blank slate. (or, that you’re developing in Laravel at all)

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt The goal: Learn how to bring the best assets of the Laravel world to non-Laravel projects.

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt WHAT IS LARAVEL DOING RIGHT?

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt What is Laravel doing right? Modern coding practices Collection of great community packages: Symfony, League, PHPDotEnv, etc. Rapid application development Collection of great unique (Illuminate) packages Easy interfaces—contracts and simple, interchangeable mail/queue/cache/session/file/etc. drivers Thriving and positive community Adoption of advanced patterns & practices

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt My side (or main) project is in CodeIgniter/ZF1/etc… what do I do? Frequent question

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt WHY DON’T WE JUST REWRITE THE WHOLE APP IN LARAVEL? TERRIBLE IDEA

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt response to legacy code: trash it. Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt Nuking your old project is a Bad Idea. 1. It’s going to take longer than you think. 2. It’s going to take longer than you think. 3. There’s more domain knowledge in your old project than you can imagine. 4. Development on the production site will halt during development. 5. It’s going to take longer than you think.

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt The incremental approach

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt UNDERCOVER LARAVEL

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt UNDERCOVER LARAVEL • If you’re working in a legacy codebase… Sneak it in.
 Test here. DI there. Illuminate component there. • Prove the value before you’re asking anyone to pay for it. • On every task or project, look for one way to make your codebase a little more Laravel-y.
 • If you’re working on a non-legacy, but non-Laravel, codebase…
 use the components.

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt The 6 steps of bringing the “best of Laravel” to your non-Laravel projects

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt Write good code STEP 1

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt Crap code
 wrapped in Laravel
 is still crap code.

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt WRITE GOOD CODE OOP best practices SOLID Law of Demeter Loose coupling Not just wrapping procedural code in classes STEP 1

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt WRITE GOOD CODE Design patterns Identifying best-practice, commonly-used patterns; giving each a name; and suggesting situations in which each will (and won’t) prove useful STEP 1

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt WRITE GOOD CODE Design patterns Examples: • Adapter Pattern • Singleton Pattern • Observer Pattern • Many more… STEP 1

Sharing Laravel @stauffermatt WRITE GOOD CODE Keep it Simple, Stupid Sandi Metz’ Rules for Developers https://robots.thoughtbot.com/sandi-metz-rules-for-developers 1. Classes can be no longer than one hundred lines of code. 2. Methods can be no longer than five lines of code. 3. Pass no more than four parameters into a method. Hash options are parameters. 4. Controllers can instantiate only one object. Therefore, views can only know about one instance variable and views should only send messages to that object (@object.collaborator.value is not allowed). STEP 1 “You should break these rules only if you have a good reason or your pair lets you.”
