January 2025 — For shopsys/shopsys, delivered a major architectural and feature set that strengthens testability, maintainability, and pricing accuracy while clarifying upgrade paths for customers. Highlights include a sweeping migration from static helpers to instance-based APIs across core utilities, reducing tight coupling and enabling dependency injection. Affected components include ArraySorterHelper, BytesHelper, TypehintHelper, DateTimeHelper, OrderByCollationHelper, EntityLogFacade, Grid, ImageUrlWithSizeHelper, MailerHelper, FriendlyUrlGridFactory, DatabaseSearchingHelper, TransformStringHelper, and PhpParserNodeHelper. In parallel, the codebase was cleaned to remove unused EncodingConverter, type hints were added to Utils, and modernization practices were applied to core APIs. Pricing accuracy improvements include Base Price Calculation now excluding VAT and QuantifiedProductPriceCalculation now accounts for input price type. Cart initialization was streamlined by moving CartInputDefaultValueInitializer logic into CartQuery. SEO workflow was refined by renaming ChoseReadyCategorySeoMixCombination to SelectedReadyCategorySeoMixCombination and introducing a factory for SelectedCategorySeoMixCombination. Additional improvements include enabling Enums to remove values and introducing a Complaint Resolution System, all accompanied by upgrade notes detailing API shifts. Overall impact: a more testable, maintainable, and scalable codebase with clearer upgrade paths and stronger price integrity, contributing to faster development cycles and more reliable deployments.
