Every method is `public static`, so you can either `use` a trait into a class or call it directly. The library is built test-first: the suite runs at **100% code coverage**, is statically analyzed by **PHPStan at the maximum level**, and is checked against **PSR-12** on every push. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - **PHP 8.3+** - `ext-openssl` (used by `EncryptionTrait`) Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require pkdev/traits ``` Available Traits ---------------- [](#available-traits) All traits live under the `PkDev\Traits` namespace.
