README

Opinionated PHP-CS-Fixer configuration with custom fixers and presets for modern PHP projects. Enforces strict coding standards, naming conventions, and architectural patterns.

PHPDoc presets also include an 80-column docblock prose wrapper so long descriptions stay readable without relying on manual formatting. The bundled Rector preset also enables PHP 8.5 pipe-operator migrations for nested function calls and sequential assignment chains. The Standard preset removes @author tags by default while still allowing explicit opt-in to the legacy author-tag fixer. It also removes @version tags by default while still allowing explicit opt-in to the legacy version-tag fixer. It removes the file-level license header by default while still allowing explicit opt-in to the legacy header_comment rule. It does not infer @psalm-immutable from PHP's shallow readonly modifier. Add that semantic annotation intentionally, or explicitly opt in to the deprecated fixer when every targeted class satisfies Psalm's behavioral immutability contract. For EasyCodingStandard configs, prefer Factory::configure(...) in ecs.php; the older Factory::create(...) closure API remains available for compatibility.
