In PHP, a lot. Unit test are boilerplate 90% of the time, getters and setters (although they can be done via Generate), ORM classes with your default shebang (autoincrement ID), and I could go on and on.
I dislike snippets for code like "key this array by some logic" - this should be reusable via a dedicated helper or service.
Getters/setters can also be done automatically by
__get
,__set
or__call
it's even possible to write a base class or trait that does this automatically.I am a PHP guru, if you've ever got questions I'm happy to help.
Sadly that's against best practices, it does not work with IDE autocomplete, and neither with PHPStan / PHPCS. You also don't get coverage from PHPUnit. And renaming a property does not rename the usage across the whole project.
__get
and__set
should not be heavily used, and the project shouldn't be based on them.Some libraries, like Eloquent, uses them well, but you still need to annotate your class with
@property
if you want to stay sane.Please never do any of this
Nah, it's actually very useful piping and makes code readable and useful.
