==============================

[](#komtakivisibility-recommender)

[![Run tests](https://github.com/komtaki/visibility-recommender/workflows/Run%20tests/badge.svg)](https://github.com/komtaki/visibility-recommender/actions?query=workflow%3A%22Run+tests%22)

Analyze of PHP file, it will suggest the recommended visibility on [PSR-12](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-12/) by modifying the constants directly.

> 4.3 Properties and Constants Visibility MUST be declared on all properties.
>
> Visibility MUST be declared on all constants if your project PHP minimum version supports constant visibilities (PHP 7.1 or later).
>
>

The recommended access modifiers are `public`, `private` and `protected`.

Feature
=======

[](#feature)

- Three kinds of `public, protected, private` can be given to public object constants automatically.
- Only minimal changes are required, and all line breaks and spaces are preserved.
- Supported files
    - Mixed classes with and without namespaces.
    - A mixture of constants with and without access modifiers.
    - Plain view files.
- Not supported
    - Functions that can recover constants by string concatenation, such as `eval()` and `constant()`.

Roughly pattern
---------------

[](#roughly-pattern)

Of course, we don't know if the constant reference is constructed by string concatenation using [eval](https://www.php.net/manual/ja/function.eval.php).

### public

[](#public)

- Constants are fetched by the unique class name other than `self`, `parent`, and `static`.

### protected

[](#protected)

- Constants are fetched by `self`, `parent` and `static` from inherit classes.
- Constants are fetched by `static` from own classes.
- Constants with the same name are declared in parent and children classes in the inherit relationship.

### private

[](#private)

- Constants that do not fit into any of the above patterns. Following example.
    - Constants declared in own class and are fetched only in own class by `self`.
    - Constants are seemed to not used from anywhere.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require komtaki/visibility-recommender

```

### Execution config

[](#execution-config)

```
declare(strict_types=1);

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

use Komtaki\VisibilityRecommender\Commands\RecommendConstVisibility;

// The directory or file name where the file you want to modify may be used.
$autoloadDirs = [__DIR__ . '/../tests/Fake/FixMe'];

// The directory or file name that you want to modify.
$targetDir = __DIR__ . '/../tests/Fake/FixMe';

// Convert
(new RecommendConstVisibility($autoloadDirs, $targetDir))->run();
```

[./bin/command](./bin/command)

### After

[](#after)

```

    // used by command class
-    const STATUS_PROCESS = 1;
+    public const STATUS_PROCESS = 1;
    // not used
-    public const STATUS_DONE = 2;
+    private const STATUS_DONE = 2;
    // used by view
-    const STATUS_CANCEL = 99;
+    public const STATUS_CANCEL = 99;
 }

 class MailCommand
 {
