Study Notes

Browsershot

Browsershot is used as a wrapper for Chromium.
The Scalingo build image limit has been increased from 1GB to 3GB due to the installation of Chromium.
Browsershot should not be run on web dynos, but instead on async workers, which have 192MB of RAM.
To run Browsershot, a job must specify the queue 'browser' and workers must have a minimum of 512MB of RAM.

PHPStorm Settings

Use the settings file 'PHPStorm - SirEnergies - 20230209.xml' to auto-format code in PHPStorm.
Steps to import settings: go to Settings, then Editor > Code Style > PHP, click on the wheel, then Import, and select the file.

Clean Code

Method bodies should be no more than 4 lines long, but 15 to 20 lines is a more reachable goal.
Reduce long methods by grouping lines into private methods with understandable names.
A method or class should have only one responsibility (SRP - Single Responsibility Principle).
Classes should be named according to their responsibility, such as 'LetterSender' or 'LetterDownloader'.

Development

Write code in English.
Do not commit commented out code or debug code.
Write short methods.
A method or class should do one thing (SRP).
Rearrange code according to the given settings.
Add backslashes to PHP native functions.

Telescope

Do not run Telescope on staging or production, as it has memory leaks and can cause dynos to crash.
Enable Telescope only for debugging, and disable it immediately after.

Repositories

A repository is responsible for handling data source operations.
A repository provides a centralized way of managing database-related operations and increases code readability.
If you have a 'Team' model, you'll likely have a 'TeamRepository'.
All public methods of a repository should only use Eloquent methods to access data.

Action or Service?

The repository provides a centralized way of managing database-related operations.
If you need to write SQL, put the query in a Data Object Accessor.

Wording

Use 'vous' with users but as little as possible.
Use the infinitive on buttons or call to action links with only a word or noun group.
This tone is used to depersonalize the interface and not engage users in actions.
