symfony-service-sorter
======================

[](#symfony-service-sorter)

CLI for checking and fixing service ordering in Symfony `services:` YAML files.

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

`symfony-service-sorter` helps keep Symfony service definitions in a consistent order. It provides:

- `check` to report out-of-order services
- `fix` to rewrite a file into the expected order

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install it as a development dependency:

```
composer require --dev chrisjenkinson/symfony-service-sorter
```

The binary is available at `vendor/bin/sort-services`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run the binary with a subcommand and one or more target YAML files:

```
vendor/bin/sort-services  ...
```

### Check

[](#check)

```
vendor/bin/sort-services check config/services.yaml
```

`check` exits successfully when services are already in order and reports ordering problems otherwise.

You can also check more than one file in one invocation:

```
vendor/bin/sort-services check config/services.yaml config/services_test.yaml
```

### Fix

[](#fix)

```
vendor/bin/sort-services fix config/services.yaml
```

`fix` rewrites files in place only when sorting changes their contents. Files that are already sorted are reported as `Unchanged`.

You can also fix more than one file in one invocation:

```
vendor/bin/sort-services fix config/services.yaml config/services_test.yaml
```

To print the sorted output instead, use:

```
vendor/bin/sort-services fix config/services.yaml --stdout
```

`--stdout` only supports a single file.

Compatibility
-------------

[](#compatibility)

- PHP `^8.2`
- Symfony Console `^6.0 || ^7.0 || ^8.0`

Development
-----------

[](#development)

Useful local verification commands:

```
vendor/bin/phpunit
vendor/bin/ecs check
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse
vendor/bin/infection --threads=max --min-msi=85 --min-covered-msi=85
```

License
-------

[](#license)

`GPL-3.0-or-later`
