```

Then register the rules in your `rector.php` config:

};

Included Rector Rules
---------------------

[](#included-rector-rules)

### 1. NullableTypeToUnionTypeRector

[](#1-nullabletypetouniontyperector)

**Description:** Converts nullable types (e.g., `?int`) to explicit union types with `null` (e.g., `int|null`).

**Before:**

```
function someFunction(?int $value): ?string
{
    return null;
}
```

**After:**

```
function someFunction(int|null $value): string|null
{
    return null;
}
```

### 2. MoveNullToEndOfUnionTypeRector

[](#2-movenulltoendofuniontyperector)

**Description:** Moves `null` to the end of union types for consistency (e.g., `null|string` → `string|null`).

**Before:**

```
function someFunction(null|string $param): null|int
{
}
```

**After:**

```
function someFunction(string|null $param): int|null
{
}
```
