While testing notification logic in Osm Admin, an exception is thrown in $db->committing()
callback, and the logic in $db->rollback()
fails.
Let's review how transaction callbacks work, and fix it.

A View
is a short-living object that is created and computed during page rendering. You can also create a pre-configured a View
object prototype in advance, and then clone it for rendering.
It's important not to execute render-time properties while configuring the prototype.
Use view()
helper function to create render-time view instances, and mark render-time properties using #[RenderTime]
attribute to prevent accessing them before rendering.

Yesterday, I optimized search responses, made search hit limit explicit, and decided not to obfuscate ID in URL.

The implementation of the faceted implementation in osm.software
blog has shown that sometimes you need only facet counts, or only total count of matching entries.
Until now, Osm Framework had always queried total count
, ids
and facets
. Not anymore - and the search engine only provides the information that is actually needed.

The implicit ElasticSearch hit limit is confusing. And you can't get all the hits - there is 10000 maximum hit limit that you can't exceed anyway.
Be explicit about the maximum number of search hits.

Last two weeks were about implementing initial version of an Osm Admin grid, integrating it seamlessly with the editing form, and enabling mass-editing of multiple objects.
After finishing it, I realized that Osm Admin had become bigger than Osm Framework! To keep up, I started writing docs for it.
And now, you have a step-by-step guide for creating a project, adding Osm Admin to it and a practical example of an admin area that you can copy to your project and try it out locally.

The last 4 weeks were mostly a vacation. It's been a time for reflection, but still, I delivered some new features.
In Osm Admin, forms already allow creating new objects and saving them to the database, and editing one or several existing objects.
I've also implemented URL query filters that are applied to the underlying database query and that can be displayed in the user interface.
From now on, Osm Framework and all projects built with it - can be installed and developed under Apache and on Windows.

In Osm Admin, I've finished indexing. It means that whenever you modify an object in the database, the changes are automatically propagated to all dependent indexed properties in the database.
I've also introduced a grid/form pair as the main user interface concept that is optimized for performing operations on multiple objects. There is also a programming interface (API) that will internally work in the same way, but without visuals. I implemented a part of this interface - an object creation form.
Osm Framework and all projects built with it - including this website and Osm Admin - are upgraded to TailwindCSS 3.0.

For the last two weeks, I figured out two core features that will allow Osm Admin to stand out from other CRUD applications:
The foundation for the mass editing feature is data queries. Data propagation will be ensured via indexing.
I've been working on the Osm Admin indexing engine, and it's still in progress. While working on it, I reworked the inner working of data queries. Finally, I've achieved a very clear separation of various Osm Admin concerns, and documented it.
In Osm Core, I added reflection over class methods.

This sprint was dedicated to writing Osm Framework documentation, and indeed, there are 8 new in-depth documentation articles, 4-5 minutes long each.
Despite documentation focus, I kept improving the website. From now on, you can assign a canonical URL to a blog post or a documentation page, and use GitHub friendly relative URLs in documentation.
But the most important thing - I started sharing progress and insights daily on Twitter.

osm.software
website. From now on, Osm Framework documentation resides in the docs/
directory of the osmphp/framework
repository, and it is displayed in a separate section of osm.software
website. New data source indexing engine allows running complex interdependent data synchronization with a single command, osm index
. New Placeholder
class simplifies dynamic Markdown content generation.
Osm Framework. Apply dynamic traits within the same file using #[UseIn]
attribute. Implement fast dynamic routing using new DynamicRoute
class. Generate URLs using new $osm_app->base_url
property.

This website got a completely new look. There are new blog posts diving into core Osm Framework features. Osm Framework itself offers more convenient page layout, website-wide header, footer and <head>
, customizable error pages. The themes support theme-specific CSS styles and JS scripts not bound to any module. New projects come with a handy bin/install.sh
script that simplifies installation on Linux. From now on, run osmh
without any parameters.

In Osm Framework, an application is a set of modules that you run as a whole. There are several applications defined in the project, each having its own PHP class. Mostly, deal with the main one, Osm\App\App
. Beside the class name, every application also has a name, the main one is named Osm_App
.
Access the current application object, and the main parts of Osm Framework, via the global $osm_app
object and its properties. Add your own long-living objects there. Run an application using its HTTP or console entry point, or using Apps::run()
.

Modular software development is a well-known practice of dividing your application into several modules, each doing one thing, and doing it well. It increases readability and simplifies maintenance, as application concerns are fully separated from one another, easier to reason about, and to debug.
Modular development also encourages reuse. It's like a puzzle. Using one set of modules, you'll get an e-commerce application, using another set of modules - you'll get a blog application.

Using dynamic traits, customize anything. Inject your code in the beginning, in the end, or instead of any standard method. Even more, add new properties and methods to the existing standard classes.

Computed properties are one of Osm Framework pillars. They help to execute code only once, and only if it's actually needed. Computed properties control object serialization and caching. They provide meaningful insights into class interdependencies. Finally, computed properties are easy to test.

From now on, this website is deployed on push, and by the way, you can easily play with the website copy locally. In the Osm framework, new Osm_Project
application allows reflecting over modules and classes regardless to which application they belong. New experimental project is aimed at quick creation of the Admin UI.
