Avoiding circular references with FOSRest and Symfony 2.8
I got stuck for quite a while thinking I had already installed JMSSerializer and had therefore been perplexed by the result of circular references breaking the output of an API I was building for (yet another) technical test.
Twitter bot in Empathy
By using an empty Empathy application as the glue (and using some of the wrapper code around Pheantalk for queues), we can easily create a twitter bot that favourites tweets for a given stream and thusly attacting attention to our own profile. The composer.json looks like this:
{
name: "newblog",
description: "A new blog",
require: {
mikejw/elib-base: "dev-develop",
pda/pheanstalk: "dev-master",
fennb/phirehose: "dev-master",
abraham/twitteroauth: "dev-master",
monolog/monolog: "1.13.1"
},
minimum-stability: "dev",
autoload: {
psr-0: {
HFSBot: "src/"
}
}
}
