Today I was able to implement a feature in Annotated Contain that will resolve my longest outstanding issue; injecting a collection of services. The feature will release in 2.4 but I'm so excited about getting this done I wrote an article about how to use this new functionality.
Since #PHPUnit 11 no longer has any of the CodeCoverageIgnore attributes, and the docs say “Do not use annotations in comments in new tests that you write. Use attributes instead,” does this mean PHPUnit will no longer allow you to exclude classes, functions, or blocks of code from coverage reports? #PHP
I've just seen a #programming pattern in #PHP where a method could return two lists of things. Instead of doing that, it takes as a parameter a callable, and passes the two lists to the callable. Instead of:
[$a, $b] = getLists($param);
// Act on both lists.
we have:
$callable = function($a, $b) {
// Act on both lists
}
actOnLists($param, $callable);
