Description

From time to time I stumble upon bugs in Extbase which apparently where fixed in TYPO3 Flow already. These fixes should have been backported to Extbase to keep it in sync.

Thus I'd like to request a re-sync of Extbase with TYPO3 Flow wherever it is possible.

can you give me examples which should be backported?

From the back of my head (thus incomplete):

- property mapping, type converters (typed arrays, anything to anything)
- dependency injection (lazy)
- custom annotations
- AOP (see EXT:autoloader)
- command controller (Symfony console)
- routing

Yes, there are bugs and flaws, accepted

- dependency injection (lazy)

Not gonna happen, we need a different approach for the whole core, maybe symfony DI

- custom annotations

Not gonna happen due to AOP. You can implement them yourself by using the Reflection.

- AOP (see EXT:autoloader)

Not gonna happen and I will fight against code generation in CMS until the bitter end.

- command controller (Symfony console)

Helmut Hummel works on somehting like this.

- routing

Not gonna happen because Extbase it not a Framework. Routing is a core issue.

First, thank you for your feedback. :-)

Don't forget about the shortcomings due to lack of backporting. ;-)

While I'm not opposed to more Symfony in the core we should remember the old promise that you can port your Extbase code to TYPO3 Flow without much hassle. Having a completely different DI implementation could make this harder. (Unless Flow also switches to Symfony DI)

- custom annotations

Been there, done that. ;-) Still nice to have.

- AOP (see EXT:autoloader)

I can see where you are coming from (AOP in Flow requires generated proxy classes) but have a look at the mentioned autoloader extension which takes care of a lot of boilerplate for frequent tasks.

- command controller (Symfony console)

I know, I have already asked him to have my babies.

- routing

Not gonna happen because Extbase it not a Framework. Routing is a core issue.

I don't mind having this in the core either. ;-)

I will close this issue now, as apparantly we don't use Flow code base 1:1 but implement other approaches when needed in the future (like Symfony Console etc).
