Modular Programming with PHP 7

By: Branko Ajzele

Overview of this book

Modular design techniques help you build readable, manageable, reusable, and more efficient codes. PHP 7, which is a popular open source scripting language, is used to build modular functions for your software. With this book, you will gain a deep insight into the modular programming paradigm and how to achieve modularity in your PHP code. We start with a brief introduction to the new features of PHP 7, some of which open a door to new concepts used in modular development. With design patterns being at the heart of all modular PHP code, you will learn about the GoF design patterns and how to apply them. You will see how to write code that is easy to maintain and extend over time with the help of the SOLID design principles. Throughout the rest of the book, you will build different working modules of a modern web shop application using the Symfony framework, which will give you a deep understanding of modular application development using PHP 7.

Chapter 11. Building the Sales Module

The Sales module is the final one in the series of modules we will build in order to deliver a simple yet functional web shop application. We will do so by adding the cart and the checkout features on top of the catalog. The checkout itself will finally make use of the shipping and payment services defined throughout the previous chapters. The overall focus here will be on absolute basics, since the real shopping cart application would take a far more robust approach. However, understanding how to tie it all together in a simple way is the first step toward opening up a door for more robust web shop application implementations later on.

In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics of the Sales module:

  • Requirements

  • Dependencies

  • Implementation

  • Unit testing

  • Functional testing
