README

Laravel Pint preset for ArtisanPack UI code standards. This package provides a pre-configured pint.json file that enforces coding standards matching the artisanpack-ui/code-style PHPCS package.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require artisanpack-ui/code-style-pint --dev

Usage

For Laravel Applications

Publish the pint.json configuration file to your project root:

php artisan artisanpack:publish-pint-config

Use --force to overwrite an existing pint.json:

php artisan artisanpack:publish-pint-config --force

Alternatively, use Laravel's standard publish command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=artisanpack-pint-config

For Laravel Packages

When developing a Laravel package, use PintConfigBuilder directly since php artisan isn't available:

Standard Pint Configuration:

<?php
// pint-setup.php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use ArtisanPackUI\CodeStylePint\Config\PintConfigBuilder;

PintConfigBuilder::create()
    ->withArtisanPackUIPreset()
    ->save(__DIR__ . '/pint.json');

Run it once to generate your config:

php pint-setup.php

Or copy the stub directly:

cp vendor/artisanpack-ui/code-style-pint/stubs/pint.json.stub pint.json

WordPress-Style Spacing (PHP-CS-Fixer):

For WordPress-style spacing in packages, copy the PHP-CS-Fixer configuration stub:

cp vendor/artisanpack-ui/code-style-pint/stubs/.php-cs-fixer.dist.php.stub .php-cs-fixer.dist.php

Then install PHP-CS-Fixer:

composer require --dev friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer

WordPress-Style Spacing (Laravel Applications)

If you need WordPress-style spacing (spaces inside parentheses and brackets) in a Laravel application, use the --wordpress flag:

php artisan artisanpack:publish-pint-config --wordpress

This will create .php-cs-fixer.dist.php with custom fixers that enforce:

• Spaces inside parentheses: if ( $var ) instead of if ($var)
• Spaces inside brackets (variable indices only): $array[ $key ] instead of $array[$key]
• Spaces around concatenation: $a . $b instead of $a.$b

Note: WordPress spacing requires PHP-CS-Fixer instead of Pint:

# Install PHP-CS-Fixer
composer require --dev friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer

# Run code formatting
./vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix

Running Pint

Once the Pint configuration is in place, run Pint to format your code:

./vendor/bin/pint

To test without making changes:

./vendor/bin/pint --test

Running PHP-CS-Fixer (WordPress Spacing)

If you're using WordPress-style spacing, run PHP-CS-Fixer instead:

./vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix

To test without making changes:

./vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix --dry-run --diff

Programmatic Configuration

For advanced use cases, you can build configurations programmatically:

use ArtisanPackUI\CodeStylePint\Config\PintConfigBuilder;

// Full preset (use base_path() in Laravel apps, __DIR__ in packages)
PintConfigBuilder::create()
    ->withArtisanPackUIPreset()
    ->save(__DIR__ . '/pint.json');

// Customize rule groups
PintConfigBuilder::create()
    ->withFormattingRules(true)
    ->withCodeStructureRules(true)
    ->withBestPracticeRules(false)  // Disable strict types, yoda style, etc.
    ->withArtisanPackUIPreset()
    ->addRule('concat_space', ['spacing' => 'one'])
    ->removeRule('yoda_style')
    ->exclude('tests/fixtures')
    ->save(__DIR__ . '/pint.json');

See docs/customization.md for detailed customization options.

Rules Included

This preset enforces the following code style rules:

• Array Syntax: Short array syntax ([] instead of array())
• Binary Operator Spaces: Single space around operators, aligned assignments
• Brace Position: Same line for control structures, next line for functions
• Class Structure: Ordered class elements (traits, constants, properties, methods)
• Concatenation Spacing: Single space around concatenation operator (. )
• Import Ordering: Alphabetically sorted imports (classes, functions, constants)
• Single Quotes: Single quotes for strings without variables
• Trailing Commas: In multiline arrays, arguments, and parameters
• Visibility Required: All properties, methods, and constants must have visibility
• Yoda Style: Literals on the left side of comparisons

For WordPress-style spacing (spaces inside parentheses and brackets), see the WordPress-Style Spacing section.

Complementary PHPCS Usage

Some rules cannot be enforced by Pint (security checks, naming conventions, line length). For complete code style enforcement, use both packages:

{
  "require-dev": {
    "artisanpack-ui/code-style": "^1.0",
    "artisanpack-ui/code-style-pint": "^1.0"
  }
}

Recommended Workflow

1. Run Pint first to auto-fix formatting:

   ./vendor/bin/pint

2. Run PHPCS to catch remaining issues:

   ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=ArtisanPackUIStandard .

Laravel Boost AI Guidelines

This package includes AI guidelines for Laravel Boost, which will automatically be available when users run php artisan boost:install.

Overriding Default Pint Guidelines

To have AI assistants use ArtisanPack UI standards instead of Laravel's default Pint guidelines, publish the Boost override:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=artisanpack-boost-override

This creates .ai/guidelines/laravel/pint.blade.php, which overrides Boost's default Pint guidelines with ArtisanPack UI specific guidance.
