Hello there, This week's article comes from an observation I made recently. Before, in Chrome, when you visited a site that offered OpenSearch, it automatically added it to the browser's search engines, so all you had to do was type "a keyword" + space and start searching directly from the browser's omnibox. This browser behavior has recently changed (perhaps for the better, as it prevents anything and everything from being added to the browser). Now, in Chromium (and therefore Chrome and...

Hello there, This week, we're tackling a big topic. This article follows on from " Why isn't MYSQL a search engine? In the latter, I talked about Elasticsearch, a popular indexed database engine that gets the job done. This week, we're going to talk about Typesense. If you visit this blog from time to time, you'll know that I like to tell you about technologies I've spent time working on, and Typesense is one of them, having been a big part of the project I'm currently working on. Are...

A new article on Sylius is available. I was sure I'd already told you about Sylius, but it seems I haven't, so here goes! Sylius is an e-commerce solution based on our beloved Symfony framework (we've already told you all about it on the blog, though?). Imagine being able to manage an online store and configure it from start to finish, all while benefiting from all the advantages and functionalities offered by Symfony - doesn't that sound dreamy? Well, that's not all, because Sylius...

Hello there, If you're a regular reader of this blog, you'll know that I've been talking a lot about Symfonfony-UX/Turbo for a few months now, but I've never given any feedback on it. The reason is simple: before giving an opinion, it's necessary to really test the thing... and the best way is to use it with real users over a minimum period of time. To date, my first application with Turbo and Stimulus has been in production for a little over a month now and has seen a few thousand use...

I think you'll have gathered by now that on this blog we're particularly fond of Symfony. 😛 The robustness and versatility of this framework (I should almost say ecosystem, by the way), we've already talked about here Well, I suppose for this time that the principle I'm going to present also exists in other frameworks, but again, it's really simple to use in Symfony. What's a workflow? This principle is workflow. If you're used to working in an English-speaking context, a workf...

Hello, hello, How are things around here? Not too cold? This week, we're diving back into the world of Symfony with a short article on bundles. We're going to take a look at the bundles you need to know when you're a Symfony developer. The idea here is to bring together the bundles I see and use most often in my projects. Here, we won't really be talking about bundles that are part of the Symfony "core", such as the "DoctrineMigrationbundle", which you'll find everywhere. Are you read...

Hello there, This week we're going to be talking about image formats. In fact, this article follows on from my article on CSS, and we're going to be talking about optimizing sits, in this case images. First of all, we'll review the older image formats, find out how to optimize them and finally talk about WEBP. We'll even see how it's possible to have a site or application that uses this format automatically, as is the case on the site you're currently visiting. Other image formats We'...

The browser cache You may not know how it works, but you've all cached things before. Or at least your browser has done it for you. Yes, you have? When you first visit a website, it often takes longer to load. Nowadays it's not really noticeable as long as the site is well designed, but there is indeed a delay of a few milliseconds for a first load. The explanation is quite simply that your browser hasn't yet been able to cache certain content on this site, such as images, CSS, Javascr...

Today, I've chosen a subject that is sometimes neglected by developers, but is nonetheless very practical: testing. No, I'm not talking about testing your code before sending it to production by pressing F5 to see if everything works. 😛 I'm talking about automated tests that you write following the logic of an algorithm to create practical cases that can be launched at different times. Imagine you have an e-commerce site and you want to test that a product is actually added to...

Today we're going to be talking about one of the most important topics on the web, yet one that is all too often overlooked by many. That subject is Responsive Design. "What's this thing you're doing? Just another gimmick to look good? To look good, yes, but it's anything but a gimmick? It's about adapting the size of your website to all screen formats. From a smartphone to a TV or even an overhead projector. Why is this important? Which device do you think is most often used to acce...
