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.

Functional testing


The great thing about the auto-generate CRUD tool is that it generates even the functional tests for us. More specifically, in this case, it generated the CategoryControllerTest.php and ProductControllerTest.php files within the src/Foggyline/CatalogBundle/Tests/Controller/ directory.

Tip

Auto-generated functional tests have a commented out methods within class body. This throws an error during the phpunit run. We need to at least define a dummy test method in them to allow phpunit to overlook them.

If we look into these two files, we can see that they both have a single testCompleteScenario method defined, which is entirely commented out. Let's go ahead and change the CategoryControllerTest.php content as follows:

// Create a new client to browse the application
$client = static::createClient(
  array(), array(
    'PHP_AUTH_USER' => 'john',
    'PHP_AUTH_PW' => '1L6lllW9zXg0',
  )
);

// Create a new entry in the database
$crawler = $client->request('GET', '/category...
