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.

Summary


Throughout this chapter we built a miniature but functional customer module. The module assumed a certain level of setup done on our security.yml file, which can be covered as part of module documentation if we were to redistribute it. These changes included defining our own custom firewall, with a custom security provider. The security provider pointed to our customer class, which in turn was built in a way that complies to the Symfony UserInterface. We then built a register, login, and forgot your password form. Though each comes with a minimal set of functionalities, we saw how simple it is to build a fully custom register and login system.

Furthermore, we applied some forward thinking, by using the specially defined service to set up the My Orders section under the My Account page. This is by far the ideal way of doing it, and it serves a purpose, as we will later override this service cleanly from the sales module.

Moving forward, in the next chapter, we will build a payment module...
