In the course of the last few weeks, I have invested some time into Naja. You might recall my previous announcement in which I stated that there was still one big thing left to do. Well, now it is done!

Almost six months ago, I have released an alpha version of a new, modern AJAX library for Nette Framework named Naja. Now, after half a year in the wild production environment, I guess the time has come for a stable version.

Almost every application needs to work with time: if not for some greater purpose like expiring access credentials, entities usually store information about when they were created or generally when something happened. Telling time is indeed a crucial responsibility, and being able to rely on the mechanism across the whole codebase is really important. But it can get problematic.

A few minutes ago, I have released a total rework of my intellij-nette-tester plugin that integrates Nette Tester into PhpStorm.

I've had a really productive couple of weeks and (mostly) weekends recently. I've worked extensively on one of my side projects using modern JS stack including Webpack, faced issues here and there, and found a way to solve them. In the end, I proudly announce three new open-source packages: a modern AJAX library for Nette Framework, Neon loader for Webpack, and a library integrating the Webpack build process into Nette-powered applications.

Recently, in my bachelor's thesis, I've used extensively the whole Node.js and JavaScript ecosystem, including Webpack for bundling modules. And I love it. So there's no wonder I've tried setting it up in a classic Nette web application as well. Here goes a simple step-by-step example.

If you host your repositories on Github, you have probably noticed they started verifying GPG signatures back in April. After half a day of pain, googling and experimenting, I came up with this definitive guide on how to set this up in PhpStorm on OS X.
