The Code Generation that Never Was

Frustrated by Magento? Then you’ll love Commerce Bug, the must have debugging extension for anyone using Magento. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned pro, Commerce Bug will save you and your team hours everyday. Grab a copy and start working with Magento instead of against it.

Updated for Magento 2! No Frills Magento Layout is the only Magento front end book you'll ever need. Get your copy today!

Today’s link comes via Process Eight, via my Patreon slack room. It’s slides from a old Magento 2 talk, made prior to the release of Magento 2. The talk itself seems to have been taken offline.

The code generation the slides refers to is Magento’s automatic code generation that happens behind the scenes when you use a class, named a certain way, that doesn’t exist, in an automatic constructor dependency injection constructor.

If you’ve peeked under the covers of Magento 2 you’ve probably seen generated code like Interceptors, Proxies, etc., but Magento 2 shipped with a bunch of other vestigial code generators left active, but seemingly unexplained and without purpose. I’ve long wondered what there were for, and this talk offers brief glimpses of functionality that never made it into the framework (despite being presented as a matter of fact thing — an important lesson if you’re going to listen to Magento engineering talks)
