Hey! I've never used Turbo before but I can't wait to discover it on your training!

I already have a first question. Is it possible to use Turbo on EasyAdmin? :)

Hey Fabrice,

In theory, it should be possible, you should just enable it for those pages in the way we show in our Turbo tutorial: https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/turbo . Though if you watched that course - sometimes Turbo may have some edge cases, that you would need to handle. What I mean is that I haven't done that myself yet, so can't say for sure, but you can easily try it out if you're interested in it and see if it works for you, but be ready to fix some edge cases.

Cheers!

Okay thank you!

Hey @Fabrice!

We'll talk a bit in this tutorial about how Turbo is great, but how you may not be able to enable Turbo Drive immediately in a legacy application. But, Turbo is 2 other pieces (Frames & Drive) and those are much easier to enable even in those situations.

About EasyAdmin, I get this question from time-to-time. I think that EasyAdmin itself will need to update how its JavaScript is organized a bit to allow for Turbo to be used. I would LOVE to see this happen and even help with it. As you'll see in this tutorial, we could do some really nice things like modals, etc easily in EasyAdmin if it embraced Turbo.

Cheers!

Please, spend enogh time for "Testing" without it it's just toys.
Thank you.

Hey Ruslan,

Thank you for your feedback! What exactly testing are you talking about? The bundles we're using in this course are tested and have tests, you can see it in its repos. Or do you want to see the testing topic covered by this tutorial? Could you give us more context please?

Cheers!

I saw it and it's greate.
I woud like to highlite what 'Testing' is important part in each project, and will be good to see best practice for it.

Thank you.

Hey Ruslan,

I see what you mean. Unfortunately, I'm not sure testing will be covered with this tutorial, that's a completely different topic that requires its own tutorial. There are a lot of testing tools in JS that may help you with it, but mostly you can test it even with Behat/Panther - those tools help you to test UI in a real browser that executes JS, so you literally can open a JS popup, press buttons, send AJAX requests, wait for responses, etc. We have a useful blog post here: https://symfonycasts.com/blog/behat-panther . Also, we have a separate tutorial about Behat testing: https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/behat

I hope that helps!

Cheers!

I WILL spend some time near the end of this tutorial on testing - I have at least 1 day scheduled for it :). I don't know how far we'll get into it (I haven't written this part), but I want to make something real-world & usable.

Cheers!

When is this coming? Really looking forward to it!

Hey @loevgaard ,

Thank you for your interest in SymfonyCasts tutorials! Right now, we're actively working on it :) According to our roadmap: https://symfonycasts.com/courses?status=upcoming&sort=popular#all - it should be the next tutorial that we will start releasing, so it will happen shortly after we finish releasing the "PHPUnit Integration Testing" course.

Cheers!

Thanks :)

I can't wait to see the part about modals. Will it be with the dialog element?

dialog is my plan right now, yup! But we'll see once I get to coding that part :)

I really look forward to this!

Oh my God! Did I read it correctly? Are you going to implement DataTable? It's awesome ! This bookstore alone deserves training because it allows you to do so many things!

Seeing her in this training makes me really happy! I wonder how it will be used (in combination with Live Component??)

Can’t wait to see this training, it’s going to be great!

😀

You CAN do it with this - especially once we merge https://github.com/symfony/ux/pull/1230 - but I'm planning to do it entirely with Turbo frames

Can’t wait to see this training, it’s going to be great!

Me too!

This looks sick. I've worked with stimulus and turbo for a while, implemented one feature using live components in my SaaS but haven't dug very deep because it's kind of hard to know where live components are superior to stimulus. I do love mercure too, I hope this touches on that.
I'm about to ramp up dev on a new SaaS and would love to implement the new concepts from this course, especially Asset Mapper, which I haven't touched at all.
Any idea of the release timeline?

Hey Nick!

In general, the idea is to try to stop using Stimulus for simple things that could be done via Live Components... because it's like you're just "reinventing the wheel", you send (in theory) more time to implement the same that already implemented in Live Components, you flood your JS code with more files (Stimulus controllers), etc. So, Live components clearly have some benefits in some cases, you only need to know more about live components, how they work, and what they can do for you. So, in short, you can leave Stimulus for more complex unique cases that cannot be done with Live Components (when they are not enough to implement it).

AssetMapper is also a cool thing, and it helps you to avoid using NodeJS to build your assets, that's why it's cooler than Webpack Encore. For most of websites, Assets Mapper would be enough, and you can switch to it from the Webpack Encore (though it will require some work). In case you really work with Node in your app, then yeah, better to stick to Webpack Encore then. I would recommend you to watch the course about it: https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/asset-mapper - it will be much clearer for you if you need Webpack Encore, or if you can simplify and speed up your building assets process a lot with Asset Mapper :)

P.S. Some super secret info - we use Webpack Encore on SymfonyCasts, but we're planning to switch to AssetMapper instead (because it's just awesome), and we do have a lot of JS assets, Stimulus controllers, etc. behind the scene :)

Cheers!
