No configuration neededβ€”just install and let it handle the rest. They run best with [ECS](https://github.com/symplify/easy-coding-standard). Install ------- [](#install) ``` composer require symplify/coding-standard --dev composer require phpecs/phpecs --dev ``` 1. Register in ECS config: ``` # ecs.php use Symplify\EasyCodingStandard\Config\ECSConfig; use Symplify\EasyCodingStandard\ValueObject\Set\SetList; return ECSConfig::configure() ->withSets([SetList::SYMPLIFY]); ``` 2. And run: ``` # dry-run without changes vendor/bin/ecs # apply changes vendor/bin/ecs --fix ``` 12 Rules to Keep Your Code Clean ================================ [](#12-rules-to-keep-your-code-clean) ArrayListItemNewlineFixer ------------------------- [](#arraylistitemnewlinefixer) Indexed PHP array item has to have one line per item - class: [`Symplify\CodingStandard\Fixer\ArrayNotation\ArrayListItemNewlineFixer`](../src/Fixer/ArrayNotation/ArrayListItemNewlineFixer.php) ``` -$value = ['simple' => 1, 'easy' => 2];
