Do you keep them in your IDE, or elsewhere? Do you have an app for that? Are they easily shared?
I realized I have no system at all but could use one to make it easier to find code I’ve written and might need again some day.
By snippets, I am referring to any chunk of code / text in any format or language, of any length.
Thanks!
EDIT A DAY LATER: Thanks you all! Reading all these ideas, I got inspired to create my own little web app. Wish me luck… :)

Getters/setters can also be done automatically by
__get
,__set
or__call
it’s even possible to write a base class or trait that does this automatically.I am a PHP guru, if you’ve ever got questions I’m happy to help.
Please never do any of this
Nah, it’s actually very useful piping and makes code readable and useful.
Sadly that’s against best practices, it does not work with IDE autocomplete, and neither with PHPStan / PHPCS. You also don’t get coverage from PHPUnit. And renaming a property does not rename the usage across the whole project.
__get
and__set
should not be heavily used, and the project shouldn’t be based on them.Some libraries, like Eloquent, uses them well, but you still need to annotate your class with
@property
if you want to stay sane.
