Switching off legacy code using one Symfony command at a
time
Greetings
Hellcome Guillaume Loulier / @Guikingone Lead developer @SensioLabs Works mainly
with PHP and Rust Sometimes, I break things, especially legacy ones (and I like that)
Summary 01 - Legacy code is fun 02 - Migrating,
a far far away dream 04 - Symfony to the rescue 05 - Wrapping up 01
Legacy code is fun
Well, it should
Diving into the joke Refu*toring - The process of taking
a well-designed piece of code and, through a series of small, reversible changes, making it completely unmaintainable by anyone except yourself. Jason Gorman
Let the fun begin A legacy code is just an
abandoned one that generate revenues Maintaining legacy code should be easy At least, until it breaks Never needed to migrate PHP 5 code?
Dealing with technical debt Technical debt is ambiguous Yesterday code
is already outdated, sorry Need to migrate it? Bon chance
Keep dreamin’
I made a dream
Time for a wishlist Tracking, being aware of changes, updating
and deleting A new interface? For which use case? What about this method arguments type? Code spread across repositories?
Sadly What about using a dedicated channel? Or using trigger_error?
Or tools like Sentry, OpenTelemetry and many more? What if we’re in a special architecture?
Symfony?
Well…
The full experience Symfony brings a lot of components Could
we bring them together to help us? Look at Rector, PHPStan and more! What if we could “track & switch off” files?
Time to “Switchoff” Built on top of Symfony components and
nikic/PHP-Parser (chief kiss) Attributes for the win! Analyze, check, switch off, repeat Could be used via the CLI / CI
Want a demo?
What’s next?
To sum it up Handling migration is hard, not to
say boring Symfony could ease the process but lack of tools Relying on a framework is a recipe for failure Each project has its own rules / flaws
What about switchoff? Not fully stable (for now) A Symfony
bundle? (Already planned) An HTML dashboard What about a PHPStan / Rector bridge?
Wrapping up
