Symfony Clock Component | ClockInterface implementation with examples

Описание: In this video, we'll dive deep into the Symfony Clock Component and its crucial role in handling DateTime objects effectively. When working with dates in our code, we often initialize DateTime objects directly. While this might seem harmless initially, it can lead to significant issues, especially in testing scenarios where execution times vary.

Join me as I demonstrate:

Installing Symfony and the Clock Component.
Creating an ExampleService with a simple method initializing a DateTime object.
Setting up PHPUnit and writing our first test for DateTime output.
Simulating execution delays and understanding why tests fail.
Refactoring our code to use ClockInterface and MockClock for precise and reliable testing.

By the end of this video, you'll understand why directly initializing DateTime objects can be problematic and how to leverage Symfony's Clock Component to make your tests more robust and predictable.
