My largest claim to fame in the Open Source software just got merged in – a pull request<\/a> to the phinx<\/a> project, adding support for MySQL’s LONGBLOB (as well as TINYBLOB and MEDIUMBLOB). \u00a0Phinx is the PHP tool for database migrations. \u00a0It’s used, among others, by the CakePHP 3 framework<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The patch itself was rather simple and I was surprised that it hasn’t been done by someone else earlier (there was an open issue<\/a>\u00a0requesting this\u00a0for more than a year). \u00a0Phinx already had support for BLOB, and for TINYTEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, TEXT, and LONGTEXT. \u00a0So practically all I had to do was a bit of copy-paste and find-replace. \u00a0Gladly, there were some unit tests in place already, preventing me from breaking a thing or two.<\/p>\n

What I found interesting though, wasn’t the patch itself, but the support of the CakePHP community (thank you guys!). \u00a0 Every few days someone (even core CakePHP developers) would “thumbs up” the pull request to draw the attention of the maintainer to it. \u00a0Some people pulled the branch and tested it. \u00a0Some wrote comments. \u00a0That was awesome and quite inspiring!<\/p>\n
