I've recently upgraded my MacBook Air to macOS 26 Tahoe and one thing I noticed was that Rodeo's rules were no longer working. With the help of exiftool, I worked out that when exporting to JPEG from Photos for macOS 26 Tahoe, the Object Name, Caption-Abstract and Keywords IPRC …
Destructuring is a huge part of ES6. If you want to learn all about the different parts of destructuring check out my ES6.io video tutorials or read some of the other articles on this blog. This post is a dead simple introduction to what destructuring actually is . Along with ar…
There’s one last thing we need to know about destructuring objects, and that is the ability to set defaults. This one’s a little bit confusing, so bear with me here and we’re going to circle back for another example later on in a couple of videos over at ES6.io…
В этой части мы рассмотрим разработку и использование директивы AngularJS, которая позволит добавить карту в интерфейс нашего приложения. Ссылки на предыдущие статьи вы найдете в конце страницы. Директивы в AngularJS предназначены для работы с DOM (Document Object Model – объект…
I’m going to put to vote soon another of my RFCs, namely one about “objects as keys“. So, I want to outline the case for it here and address some criticisms and questions raised while discussing it. Why we may want it it? Traditionally, in PHP array keys could …
If you're not using interfaces in PHP, you are missing out on a powerful object-oriented programming feature. An interface defines how to interact with a class. By defining an interface and then implementing it, you can guarantee a "contract" for consumers of a class. Interfaces…

When my coworker today asked if he could cast an array to a object. I couldn’t really answer the question. Don’t think i ever done that. So let’s try. right? Cast array to object $arr = array('foo' => 'baz'); $obj = (object) $arr; var_dump($obj); object(stdClass)#1 (1) { [&qu…
by Yitzchak Schaffer (@YitzOfTheBits) The true focus of this post is how to retrieve given member values of associative arrays in PHP, but it will touch on analagous constructs in other popular languages, namely Java’s Map, Python’s dict, Ruby’s Hash, and Javas…

Quick one here but today, thanks to Tez on Stack Overflow, I discovered that PHP's null coalescing operator (the double question mark operator) can fail when you use a function at any part of the statement.
EDIT: Some of my latest articles have had traffic orders of magnitude larger than the one mentioned below, making the figures completely obsolete. It looks like my latest blog post, A Diagram of the Ruby Core Object Model, has had quite a bit of a success in the Ruby community. …
I am a visual learner. A picture is worth a thousand words. When I started learning Ruby, I could not find a decent diagram that would just sum up the Ruby classes, modules, and their hierarchy. So I made mine. By hand. On an A4 sheet. Here is the result (click for a full size v…
Python-oracledb rowfactories are a powerful way for Oracle Database queries to alter the representation of fetched rows, reducing the amount of application boilerplate code and data copying. This blog shows how easy it is to use a Python Data Class with a rowfactory to transform…
DateTimeImmutable::modify() Alters the timestamp. Like DateTime::modify() but works with DateTimeImmutable. Duh. I don’t see what’s so hard about this, @pda. Of course, it doesn’t actually do what the name says and modify an unmodifiable object at all. So, at least there’s that;…
In this short article we will see what immutable objects are and why we should consider to use them. Immutable object is an object that does not change its state after it was created. Immutable objects usually are very simple. You may already seen them as enum types or primitive…
We recently attended a talk about lazy-loading by Nicolas Grekas and it inspired me this blogpost! We can find lazy-loading in all modern PHP applications, in ORMs, for example. But is there more usage…
While running coderetreats, I have the opportunity to see a lot of people working on Conway’s Game of Life. As we go through the day, I make comments about design, both in the large and in the small. Over the years, I’ve seen similar patterns pop up across many different develop…

Strongly-typed object-oriented code helps me tremendously during refactoring. When I realize I need to pass more information from one place to another, I usually take my first step by changing a return typehint, or adding a required parameter to a method. Running PHPStan after m…
We're going to discuss Golang's "context" objects (context.Context). I'll assume you're at least passingly familiar with them. It's useful if your request handlers can share information about a request. Often the request data itself (http.Request) has everything you ne…
Stateless Services As more frameworks and libraries, particularly in the PHP world, move towards adopting the Dependency Injection pattern they are all faced with the problem of bootstrapping their application and constructing the object graph. In many cases this is solved by a …
As a long-time PHP enthusiast and contributor, I’ve always been fascinated by how PHP can evolve to improve developer experience while maintaining its simplicity. Over the years, I’ve explored various ways to enhance the language, including my previously published Object Initial…
In this article, we’re gonna demystify RFC: Object Initializer which was proposed by me up for discussion on PHP Internals. Motivation The motivation behind Object Initializer RFC was dictated by a large number of repetitions when creating simple objects like DTO and a lot…
I’d like to present my concept of inner classes for PHP based on other languages and PHP limitations. What are those inner classes? Nested Inner Class UML In object-oriented programming (OOP), an inner class or nested class is a class declared entirely within the body of a…
There are many implementations of Hydrator and Extractor pattern. What is Hydration? Hydration is the act of populating an object from a set of data. Hydrators have wide usage in ORM and Data Mappers their responsibility is to provide entity objects from relational database. Hyd…
Following the raging success of PHP 7.0 additions scalar type hints and return types, there is also place for object typehint and return type. That feature can replace double is_object() validation inside function/method. I decided to write an RFC:Object-typehint. Why do we need…
I do a lot of Code Reviews, and without proper automation of most of the low level items that you are usually "remarking" to colleagues it is a frustrating experience for everyone involved and takes more time that needed. My natural tendency is towards action over plan…

We've all seen it: `new Human()` followed by three `setName()`, `setAge()`, `setEmail()` calls that are always there. Not optional - just pretending. These are constructor arguments in a fluent disguise, and they leave your objects half-valid every time someone forgets one. So I…
The globalThis proposal introduces a unified mechanism to access the so-called “global object” a.k.a. “the global” in any JavaScript environment. It sounds like a simple thing to polyfill, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to get right.

tl;dr When creating value objects representing time, I recommend choosing how finegrained the time should be with your domain experts and round it off to that precision in the value object. When modeling important numbers, it’s considered good form to specify the precision. Whet…
When we think about interfaces in software development, it’s easy that our thoughts go the interface keyword used in many Object-Oriented languages like Java and C#. But interfaces are a much more general concept, and they could be defined as: an interface is a shared boundary a…
