WHAT KEPT US BUSYA QUICK SUMMARY OF A YEAR WORKING IN CAKEPHP

CakeFest 2013 @jose_zap

CAKEPHP IS COMMUNITY DRIVENThis is both good and bad. There is a slower pace in what wedo, but the result is a consequence of what the community is

actually asking for based of the collective input.

WE GROW OLDER, BUT WISERIn general, people working in any organization...

JOIN

GET PASSIONATE ABOUT IT

GET EXPERIENCE

GET BORED

GET MARRIED, HAVE CHILDREN

BECOME BUSIER

AND SOME... LEAVE(sad panda face)

THE CORE TEAMHAVE A CONSTANT DREAM AND A PASSION TO MAKE THINGS BETTER

THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE THINGS WEDREAMT ABOUT

and made its way into the code

HELLO PHP 5.4

NAMESPACESWe hate \ (wrong slash) but we finally converted the virtual

packages into namespacesif (strpos($class, '\\') !== false)

Yes, we'll keep using the plugin syntax and save from writingthings like that

NEW UNIFIED CONFIGConfiguration is passed directly to the classes that are

interested about them

Bye, Bye DATABASE_CONFIG

COMPOSER SUPPORT OUT OF THE BOX

FASTER, BETTER ROUTERReverse routing got extremely fast and now it is possible to

have named routes!

ROUTING PREFIXES USING NAMESPACESInstead of UsersController::admin_index() you will have a

separate Admin\UsersController::index()

FASTER, CONSISTENT AND LEANER EVENTMANAGER

FEATURE RICH HTTPSOCKET CLASS

NEW QUERY BUILDERCreate queries using a fluent interface with automatic type

conversion

$union = (new Query($connection)) ->select(['id', 'title']) ->from(['a' => 'articles']);

$results = (new Query($connection)) ->select(['id', 'comment']) ->from(['c' => 'comments']) ->where(['created >=', new DateTime('1 day ago')]) ->union($union) ->execute();

SMART SQL DIALECT TRANSLATIONYou can use this in both PostgreSQL and MySQL

$query = (new Query($connection))->select(function($q) { return [ 'id', 'full_name' => $q->concat(['first_name', ' ', 'last_name']) ]});

SMART ASSOCIATION EAGER LOADINGThis will use a single query

$table = Table::build('author');$table->hasMany('article', [ 'property' => 'articles', 'strategy' => 'subquery', 'sort' => ['article.id' => 'asc']]);$results = $table->find('all')->contain('article')->toArray();

CHAINABLE CUSTOM FINDERSWoot!?

$articles->latest()->popular()->list()->toArray();

RESULT STREAMING

STOPPABLE FINDSBefore find callbacks can stop the query from being executed

and return cached results

MAP-REDUCE

SCHEMA MIGRATIONS

AND MUCH, MUCH MORE

WELCOME TO CAKEFESTThis is the right place to figure out where we are heading
