Symfony UI Framwork for Javanoscript noob?

I have some intermediate know how with PHP and Synfony. I have no javanoscript experience. Handling the Symfony stuff (Controllers, Config, Docker, API Plattform, Doctrine ORM etc.) i get the hang of. But once Javanoscript is involved, it get's confusing. :-) I support in a project that uses VUE, and every time i know i have to touch or debug this, it's not my thing.

I am starting now with a small business app that needs a UI. Nothing fancy, only 5 guys from the customer itself use it, so it doesn't need to win a design award.

What would you recommand to learn in this case? VUE? UX Turbo? Something else? Do i have to bite the bullet and dive into javanoscript, or is there something else i should look at? It must not be reactive, it must not be super performance. I just need some UI elements which must work, but design and performance ist not an issue.

Any ideas?

Ephemeral User Package

Of course while working on something else, I got sidetracked with a "why doesn't this exist already?" moment. Bottom line, I find myself sometimes reaching for a `new User()` to pass around a model without needing to persist it right away (or ever!). This felt a little more like the Laravel way of doing things, and was a relatively small lift considering.

Why is using DTOs such a pain?

I’ve been trying to add proper DTOs into a Laravel project, but it feels unnecessarily complicated. Looked at Spatie’s Data package, great idea, but way too heavy for simple use cases. Lots of boilerplate and magic that I don’t really need.

There's nested DTOs, some libraries handle
validation, and its like they try to do more stuff than necessary. Associative arrays seem like I'm gonna break something at some point.

Anyone here using a lightweight approach for DTOs in Laravel? Do you just roll your own PHP classes, use value objects, or rely on something simpler than Spatie’s package?

What is the difference between a bus and a transport

In my project I have these settings:

framework:
    messenger:
        transports:
            async: '%env(MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DSN)%'
            failed: 'doctrine://default?table_name=failed_messages'
            sql_channel_manager_dlq:
              dsn: '%env(SQS_CHANNEL_MANAGER_TRANSPORT_DLQ_DSN)%'
              options:
                access_key: '%env(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID)%'
                secret_key: '%env(AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)%'
                region: '%env(AWS_REGION)%'
                queue_name: '%env(CHANNEL_MANAGER_QUEUE_NAME_DLQ)%'
            sqs_channel_manager:
              failure_transport: sql_channel_manager_dlq
              dsn: '%env(SQS_CHANNEL_MANAGER_TRANSPORT_DSN)%'
              serializer: App\Infrastructure\Messenger\ChannelManagerSerializer
              options:
                  access_key: '%env(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID)%'
                  secret_key: '%env(AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)%'
                  region: '%env(AWS_REGION)%'
                  queue_name: '%env(CHANNEL_MANAGER_QUEUE_NAME)%'
        failure_transport: failed
        default_bus: command.bus
        buses:
            event.bus: ~
            command.bus:
                middleware:
                    - 'App\Infrastructure\Middleware\RequestIdMiddleware'
        routing:
            App\Message\TestQueue: async
            App\Domain\Event\ChannelManager\ChannelManagerEventHasReceived: sqs_channel_manager

As you can see I have the follwoing transports:

async
failed
sql_channel_manager_dlq
sqschannelmanager

And the following buses:

event.bus
command.bus

But I have trouble inderstanding the difference between buses and transports.

My google-fu leads me only to generic info regarding on how to setup the queue listener: https://symfony.com/doc/current/messenger.html

But I fail to comperhend the difference between bus and transport. What is the difference between these 2?

So far I understood that a bus is some sort of road that transport uses it to handle a message, if it is true in my example how I can define that all messages passed through sqs_channel_manager would be handled upon event.bus?

NativePHP Mobile: What's your dev workflow? Do you rebuild every time?

I'm working with NativePHP for mobile and I'm struggling to figure out an efficient development workflow.

I did my first build and deployed it to my phone, but rebuilding the entire app every time I want to see changes is painfully slow. I've searched online but couldn't find any documentation or discussions about mobile development workflows with NativePHP.

Do you rebuild the full app for every change, or is there a way to get live/hot reload working?

Minio Moving to Source-Only, No Docker Images

https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/21647

Seems like kind of a scuzzy move for users. I know Laravel uses Minio docker images for Sail under the hood for local S3 development. I am curious what the outcome will be.
