Philosophy
----------

[](#philosophy)

The intended purpose of this package is to determine the presence and optionally the vertical position of some statements in a PHP file. This is useful in situations like programmatically adding extra boilerplate to generated files.

Provided analyses:

- Imports (`use ;`)
- Class definition (`class Someting {}`)
- Trait uses (`use ;`)
- First function of a class (`public static function Something {}`)

### My use case

[](#my-use-case)

I am maintaining a CMS that is based on Laravel and Filament. Part of the CMS are commands that generate PHP files (such as Laravel Models and Filament Resources). During generation, my goals are:

- Use the built-in generators
- Append some custom PHP boilerplate to it

This package helps me determine *where* to add custom namespace uses, member properties and member functions as crude strings.

### Main features / restrictions

[](#main-features--restrictions)

 Extremely mimimal The package only provides *what I need*, nothing more. Fully opinionated The package provides its functionality exactly *how I need it*. Very optimistic This is a very nice way of saying *"I don't really care about edge cases"*.How?
