IxDF PHP Coding Standard
------------------------

[](#ixdf-php-coding-standard)

An opinionated coding standard for PHP and Laravel projects, built on [PER-CS3.0](https://www.php-fig.org/per/coding-style/). Focuses on:

- **High signal-to-noise ratio** (concise but informative PHPDoc, e.g. array shapes)
- **Strict, explicit code**: `strict_types`, strict comparisons, final by default, no magic
- **Harmony with static analysis tools** (PHPStan, Psalm, Rector, etc.)
- **Auto-fixing over reporting** (violations are not only reported but also fixed automatically, when possible)
- **PHP and Laravel best practices** (enforced, not just suggested)

Two tools, two roles, meant to run together:

- **PHP-CS-Fixer** (primary): fast auto-formatting and modernization rules.
- **PHP\_CodeSniffer** (supplementary): structural and semantic checks PHP-CS-Fixer cannot express (complexity, Laravel conventions, naming).

Tip

This repository is a part of the IxDF toolchain for PHP: Rector ➝ Coding Standard Fixers ➝ PHPStan + Psalm.
