There you go 🥳 https://github.com/gacela-project/gacela/releases/tag/0.29.0

So from now on, it’s about finding which internal Events might be useful and create them. You can add a listener for a specific Event or a general listener for all Events. And this is super interesting to trace, debug and know what Gacela is doing under the hood, and maybe even to hook into some internal behaviour and act on it. I am really exited about this new release 🧠

So what milestones are going to make it 1.0? 😉

That’s easy: drop support for

PHP 7.4

and make it

PHP >=8.0

🚀 In the meanwhile, for the next release, I plan to do some more thinking about the internal events, and consider triggering more of them and improve it overall.

When? This will happen next month, as soon as PHP 7.4 is no longer supported: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

This will open the door to upgrade the code to use the latest features from PHP 8.0

It was a fun weekend 🥳 I discovered and fixed an important bug related to the “php file cache system” thanks to the new internal event listeners 👌🏼 https://github.com/gacela-project/gacela/releases/tag/0.30.0 Changelog • Allow combine and override different

GacelaConfig

from project level • Added internal events for the

ClassResolver\Cache

scope • Fixed

PhpFileCache

bug

With this new feature, you can define in your

DependencyProvider

to resolve a particular service every time, avoiding caching it in memory. This is useful when you want to force the creation of a dependency instead of sharing it as singleton: https://github.com/gacela-project/gacela/pull/229

🏗️This weekend I worked in this new feature🏗️ Now you can extend any service directly from the

GacelaConfig

https://github.com/gacela-project/gacela/pull/231

Similar UX as the

Container::extend()

from the “Application Container” of Spryker.

Yesterday, Dave Liddament and I were working on adding PHPStan rules for Gacela, and we came up with something that works pretty well so far 🥳 https://github.com/gacela-project/phpstan-extension

Actually, kudos to Dave, who was driving the whole idea 🧠

Gacela 1.0 is ready! 🥳 https://github.com/gacela-project/gacela/releases/tag/1.0.0

Why move to

1.X

? 🤔 Because the

0.X

is for initial development.

Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable: https://semver.org/#spec-item-4

Therefore, the

1.X

promises stability and compatibility throughout the entire 1.X version

🗞️ Breaking news 🗞️ I will talk about Gacela in the IPC Berlin this year! When? Thursday, May 25 2023 | 12:00 - 12:45 🥳 https://phpconference.com/software-architecture/modular-applications-php-gacela/

nice!

so we can expect a 2.0 release the day before? :p

Uff, I am not sure about that… Although, I would love to. The “problem” is that I don’t have ideas for new features or improvements so far. The range of features and scope of Gacela is pretty well define; plus everything is tested, and the code quality is really high… it’s hard for me to find spots to improve 😆 Currently, I am more focus on developing “Phel” (which uses Gacela in its core), and it’s working crazy good. That said, from time to time, I find some minor things to improve, but nothing that would change the major version

1.x

😛

Woho! Actually, I just received an email confirming they accept my other talk about Phel Language. I can’t wait! I hope to see some of you there 🤙🚀

New Release 🚀 https://github.com/gacela-project/gacela/releases/tag/1.1.0

Major change: Allow using

getFactory()

from Facade object or static context; allows you using static methods in your facades.

🔈 We have the Gacela Tech-Talk at the Spryker Meetup today morning 🥳 https://www.meetup.com/spryker-user-group/events/289944797

🗞️ I extracted the Dependency Container logic from Gacela and created an isolated/decoupled repository with it. It can be used independently without requiring the “core” Gacela Framework.

https://github.com/gacela-project/container

🚀 We created a new repository aiming for a minimalistic HTTP router. Ideal for your proof-of-concept projects and decoupled controllers.

https://github.com/gacela-project/router

An example ☝🏼 https://github.com/gacela-project/router/blob/main/example/example.php

Your controllers doesn’t need to extend anything. It uses

__invoke

by default, but you can specify any method name that you want. We support all HTTP verbs, multiple matches at once, any, redirects, among other features that we are working on it 🏗️

Have fun with it 😄

My first long concern about the Router package 😄 https://github.com/gacela-project/router/issues/25

GACELA 1.2 is out! 🚀 Major changes: • Unify the GacelaConfig’s

Gacela::bootstrap()

• Deprecate

GacelaConfig->addMappingInterface()

in favor of

GacelaConfig->addBinding()

• Extract

Container

logic into a separate repo (gacela-project/container)

Release tag: https://github.com/gacela-project/gacela/releases/tag/1.2.0 🔖

Infection is a valuable tool to prove the quality of your tests 🧠 We recently got an mutation score of 100% in our Gacela Router project! https://github.com/gacela-project/router

GACELA 1.3 is out! 🚀 Major changes: • Added “extend config” (docs) ◦ You can extend the

GacelaConfig
