MRI day! And it’s a big one! Is my recent physical deterioration due to tumor growth that will quite likely kill me? Or something else (unexpected brain swelling)

We should definitely highlight #DX improvements more often, not only big features! 👌 @symfony has dedicated articles about Developer Xperience improvements for each new minor version, let's push this as well for #PHP. It deserves it! 🐘

A hidden treasure in Doctrine is the Criteria object which lets us modify the query on a relation, e.g. so $ship->getParts() only returns parts over a certain price. Magic! symfonycasts.com/screencast/…

The Clever Criteria System

Uses Doctrine Criteria with Symfony/Doctrine entity collections to filter a starship’s related parts by price while keeping the $ship->getParts()-style API, then moves that reusable filter logic into...

New tutorial time! We’re catching up & finishing up (I know, way overdue 🧠 ) our Symfony 7 track with Symfony 7 Doctrine Relations! We’re kicking off with alien animations AND audio from me, @weaverryan! 🌟 symfonycasts.com/screencast/…

Setup

Introduces the next phase of the Symfony/Doctrine tutorial: moving from a single Starship entity to modeling database relationships so ship parts can be tracked and assigned to ships.

This is built with symfony and LiveComponents 🤯. That means zero JavaScript written and no build system. Amazing how far we’ve come worldbuilder.sylvainblondeau…

Foundry now has it's own command to load dev fixtures! (previously, we recommended using doctrine/fixtures, which is a great package, but overkill for this purpose)
nikophil@nik0phil5 Jun 2025
Foundry 2.6 is released 🎉 We've introduced a new command `bin/console foundry:load-stories` you can use to load fixtures in your database see docs for more info symfony.com/bundles/Zenstruc… @zenstruck #php #symfony
