Introduction
============

[](#introduction)

**Canary** provides **linting** and **static analysis** for stickee Laravel projects.

It includes:

- the stickee [PHP CS Fixer config](https://github.com/stickeeuk/php-cs-fixer-config/) to adhere to our code styles
- the stickee [Larastan config](https://github.com/stickeeuk/larastan-config/) to analyse your code
- the stickee [Rector config](https://github.com/stickeeuk/rector-config) to refactor your code

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Canary provides a unified package that brings together powerful linting and static analysis tools that we make heavy use of at stickee.

### Tools

[](#tools)

### `analyse`

[](#analyse)

[PHPStan](https://github.com/nunomaduro/larastan)

```
composer analyse
# or vendor/bin/phpstan analyse -c phpstan.dist.neon
```

This command will perform static-analysis of your whole project.

It *could* be run as part of a `pre-commit` hook.

See [stickee/larastan-config](https://github.com/stickeeuk/larastan-config) for more details.

### `fix`

[](#fix)

[PHP CS Fixer](https://github.com/PHP-CS-Fixer/PHP-CS-Fixer)

```
composer fix
# or vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix --config .php-cs-fixer.php
```

This command will attempt to fix minor code style issues.

It *can* be run against a single file.

It *could* be run against staged files as part of a `pre-commit` hook.

See [stickee/php-cs-fixer-config](https://github.com/stickeeuk/php-cs-fixer-config) for more details.

### `improve`

[](#improve)

[Rector](https://github.com/rectorphp/rector)

```
composer improve
# or vendor/bin/rector
```

This command will refactor your code in an attempt to improve it.

Any `improve`d code **must** be checked before committing.

It *can* be run against a single file.

It should **not** be run as part of a `pre-commit` hook.

See [stickee/rector-config](https://github.com/stickeeuk/rector-config) for more details.

### `suggest`

[](#suggest)

[Rector](https://github.com/rectorphp/rector) in `--dry-run` mode

```
composer suggest
# or vendor/bin/rector --dry-run
