Laravel Code Style

Combine Custom Fixers with the ruleset of Laravel Pint

Introduction

This package provides automatic code style checking and formatting for Laravel applications and packages using the same ruleset as Laravel Pint. This package is built on top of PHP-CS-Fixer and therefor gives you the ability to add custom fixers. (which is one of the shortcomings of Laravel Pint)

Installation

composer require jubeki/laravel-code-style --dev

Once the package is installed you should publish the configuration.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jubeki\LaravelCodeStyle\ServiceProvider"

Publishing the config will add a .php-cs-fixer.dist.php configuration file to the root of your project. You may customize this file as needed and then commit it to your version control system.

A cache file will be written to .php-cs-fixer.cache in the project root the first time you run the fixer. You should ignore this file so it is not added to your version control system.

echo '.php-cs-fixer.cache' >> .gitignore

Usage

Once the package is installed you can check and fix your code formatting with the on subcommand of vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer.

Automatically fix the code style

To automatically fix the code style of your project you may use the following command:

vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix

By default only the file names of every file fixed will be shown. To see a full diff of every change append the --diff flag.

Checking for code style violations

If you would like to check the formatting without actually altering any files you should use the fix command with the --dry-run flag.

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

In dry-run mode any violations will cause the command to return a non-zero exit code. You can use this command to fail a CI build or git commit hook.

Composer script

To make checking and fixing code style easier for contributors to your project it's recommended to add the commands as a composer script:

{
    "scripts": {
        "check-style": "php-cs-fixer fix --dry-run --diff",
        "fix-style": "php-cs-fixer fix"
    }
}

More Options

For a complete list of options please consult the PHP-CS-Fixer documentation.

Configuration

The default configuration is published as .php-cs-fixer.dist.php in the project root. You can customize this file to change options such as the paths searched or the fixes applied.

Paths

You can change the paths searched for PHP files by chaining method calls onto the PhpCsFixer\Finder instance being passed to the Jubeki\LaravelCodeStyle\Config::setFinder method.

For example, to search the examples directory you would append ->in('examples'):

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

return (new Jubeki\LaravelCodeStyle\Config())
    ->setFinder(
        PhpCsFixer\Finder::create()
            ->in(app_path())
            // ...
            ->in('examples')
    )
    // ...

The default paths are setup for a Laravel application. If you are writing a package the path helper functions will not available and you will need to change the paths as necessary, i.e. PhpCsFixer\Finder::create()->in(__DIR__).

For a complete list of options refer to the Symfony Finder documentation.

Rules

By default only the Laravel Pint preset is enabled. This preset enforces many different rules which can be found in Jubeki\LaravelCodeStyle\Config

It is possible to override a specific rule from the preset. For example, you could disable the no_unused_imports rule like this:

return (new Jubeki\LaravelCodeStyle\Config())
        ->setFinder(
            // ...
        )
        ->setRules([
            'no_unused_imports' => false,
        ]);

For a complete list of available rules please refer to the php-cs-fixer documentation.

Releases

A major version bump only occurs should there be a big change to the Laravel Pint project.

Otherwise each rule change according to Laravel Pint is only a minor version bump. (This means there can be rules added, changed or removed).
